Beschreibung

'People say life's too short, it's not. It's too bloody long. There's too much time and too many ways to fill it, all those hours in all those days, all those choices you have to make.'
Sam's eighteen and her life's about to start. Zoe's forty-something and hers never did. They don't have much in common. Just a love of '80s new wave, and an illness that wants them dead.
Thrown together in an eating disorder unit, their most intimate secrets exposed, they form a complicated bond. But when another patient turns the ward into chaos, they're forced to confront a difficult question: if an institution is the thing keeping you safe, how are you supposed to cope when you leave?
Authentic, witty and profoundly compassionate, Laura Waldren's play Some Demon won the Papatango New Writing Prize and the Clive Richards Foundation Writer in Residence Bursary, and was first produced by Papatango Theatre Company at the Arcola Theatre, London, and Bristol Old Vic in 2024.

    “Now you are gone and for a while my womb lost its voice and forgot how to sing. / What is a song but a daughter’s love transcending time and space? / I am learning to listen.” 
     
    When her beloved dog Ealga dies, Esther Vincent Xueming finds her home, which had been filled with the songs and sounds of Ealga’s life, abruptly silent. womb song chronicles Esther’s journey through grief as she wanders from landscape to landscape, from a temple in Bangkok to her subconscious, from the Kinabatangan River to the uncharted space of her dreams. All the while, the sea within her tosses. As Esther searches for healing, she finds herself asking, what does it mean to mother—a dog, a child, another non-human life—and be mothered? 
     
    A new nature poetry collection that revolves around the relationship between humans and non-humans. Great for readers interested in spirituality and self-discovery as well as readers who are new to poetry.

    Chapter 6 - Disconnect - Disconnect is about the psychological action of disconnecting from everything that influences you in a negative manner. To not listen to the thoughts and voices of others who begin to steer your life, but instead, to focus on what you want and what you believe in. In short, it is the disconnection from outside influences, replaced with the connection to what's inside.

Each poem is a hymn to those who came before us, a reckoning with the present, and a declaration of a future where our voices rise, untamed and free. A lyrical sanctuary for those who have ever felt unseen, unheard, or unheld. 
    For the ancestors. For the dreamers. For us.
