  'There was a moment... Where it looked at me. The stag. We looked at each other. And I had this feeling like... Like it was gonna show me something.'
  Meet Oskar, Rio and Hazel: three people getting on with their lives in different corners of the globe. They've never spoken. They've never met. But they're each about to experience a startling wild-animal encounter. One that will transform the way they think about their world.
  From Norway's glittering fjords to Colorado's stunning peaks via Halewood's majestic Tesco, The Walrus Has a Right to Adventure is a swooping, soaring play about instinct, expectation and identity – and what it means to be truly free.
  Inspired by real stories from around the world, Billie Collins's powerful and inventive play premiered at the Liverpool Everyman in 2025, directed by Nathan Crossan-Smith.

  Why I Am Not a Bus Driver

  Why I Am Not a Bus Driver is a moving and musical debut collection exploring grief, love and the power of community, from the author of The 392, Your Show and Wild East. The heart of this book beats in sync with that of the poet's late grandfather, as, sonnet after unconventional sonnet, Hickson-Lovence uncovers the micro-histories woven into the streets and journeys that shape us. These poems speak with Frank O'Hara, in their stream-of-consciousness lyricism, in meditations that dance like winding roads, both immediate and nostalgic. Committed to honouring the authentic and everyday, the real and true, human connection is the destination in this stirring collection, and every reader has a priority seat.
  "Among the most natural, elegant sonnet sequences I've read: a memorial, moving in its radical honesty and grace. What both broke and strengthened my heart about this collection is the sheer humanity and authentic curiosity that make a life feel meaningful, transfiguring both the extraordinary and the everyday with dignity, love and imagination. Just gorgeous." Luke Kennard
  "A moving collection attuned to the knowledge that poetry of the family is both plain and complex, that the dead sometimes require elegy and sometimes celebration; and all of this held within the strength and uncertainty that is the human-made body of the poem." Andrew McMillan
  "A heartfelt elegy to a grandfather, skilfully weaving themes of legacy, promises, influences and dreams. While the grandfather takes centre stage, England itself emerges as a powerful backdrop to the story. Hickson-Lovence's unified themes lend the book the feel of a novel-in-verse, yet each poem resonates with its own emotional strength. An endearing and enlightening read—don't miss it." Roger Robinson
  "Ashley Hickson-Lovence's debut collection offers an intricate reminiscence, an insight into fierce familial bonds and how they shape a life indefinitely. These poems pulse with longing, vulnerability and doubt, highlighting the human need for connection, the resilience that grows from loss, the certainty that comes when the love unfolds."

  ‘What do I know about exile?’ asks the speaker in DEAR MEMPHIS, embedded in the colliding migrations and intimate economies of the American South. Offering a direct address to the city where the poet grew up, this collection explores questions of generation amidst the displacement and belonging of a Jewish family in Memphis, Tennessee. These poems sing with their attention to the particular body and what it cannot carry, what it cannot put down. Through letters, city documents, visual art, and dialogue, Dear Memphis excavates ancestry, inheritance, and the ecological possibility of imagining a future.

  The Poetry of Dreams - The...

  ‘Perchance to dream’ is an offer that most of us would accept in the blink of an eye.  That mysterious ‘other world’ where the day’s reality is processed by our subconscious, really is a mystery, even to the experts and self-help books who decipher our beguiling imaginings with all sorts of reasonings.  Perhaps the better truth is that most of us don’t remember much about our dreams, unlike its near neighbour the nightmare!  Day-dreams too fall into a fantasy imagining where we try to re-route the natural course of events as we move from one emotion to another. 
   
  Our unconscious dreams seem essential for our mental and emotional well-being and some believe they provide solutions, answers and prophesize important events.  In the conscious world we use the word to describe our goals, desires and wishes which reveal much about who we are and our chosen path for life.   
   
  Whatever their significance may or may not be, they are universal and a subject on which our poets have much to say. 
   
  With such a rich seam to mine, our poets from Sarojini Naidu to Lewis Carroll, Edna St Vincent Millay to Shakespeare by way of Antonio Machado and Longfellow and a host of others provide a pillowful of poems that will set you dreaming.

  Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another.  Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us. 
   
  Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy. 
   
  In the volumes of this series, we take a look at poetry through the prism of individual regions of England, or sometimes more quaintly known as ‘Albion’, or ‘Blighty’, through the centuries of its gloried history. 
   
  England, despite its perception of reserve and under-statement has, in reality, strode the global stage at various time in many things, both good and bad, from Empire to long distance running. Here our focus in on its literature.  Famed for its fiction and dramas, it is equally admired for its plethora of gifted poets and the dazzling verse which has added so much to its artistic legacy.  These classic poets are wonders of their age and of their art.  Genius is written in their names. 
   
  In this volume we explore the West Midlands, land-locked, yet containing its second largest city, it is a cornucopia of landscapes and contrasts that make it distinct and yet a part of the whole.  And whether the poets are famous or obscure their talents remind us all of our inheritance of words.
