  Crossing Continents of Seasons is a luminous collection of poems tracing one soul's passage from confinement to freedom, from silence to belonging, from loss to love. Through vivid imagery and quiet honesty, Amer Malas explores the borders we inherit and the ones we create—the emotional geographies of exile, memory, and renewal. 
  These poems move through childhood's small boxes, the ache of displacement, and the slow awakening of the heart. Blending spiritual reflection and lyrical storytelling, the book invites readers to walk beside the author through landscapes of shadow and light, where grief softens into understanding and stillness becomes home. 
  For those standing between worlds or learning to begin again, Crossing Continents of Seasons is both a mirror and a lantern—an offering of presence, healing, and hope.

  They say you can’t catch a fish with a hook.  
   
  It’s 1925, a world on the cusp of change. Hitler has published Mein Kampf and Mussolini has shut down the free press in Italy. 
   
  Three friends meet on a Scottish estate for a weekend of salmon fishing and convivial conversation over brandy and cigars: Winston Churchill, future world leader, ‘Bendor’, 2nd Duke of Westminster and Coco Chanel, iconic fashion entrepreneur. The narrative develops into a visceral account interspersed with sharp and insightful humour, revealing two men whose deep friendship is divided by their profound political differences, as each of them tries to navigate an uncertain world. 
   
  And then there is Coco Chanel, also an accomplished angler and Bendor’s mistress. She enters wearing furs and exits wearing waders. 
   
  In Winston & The Duke, Rory Fellowes delivers a thought-provoking play that invites the audience to question: 
  Have we learned anything from history?Should we pay attention to past events rather than purge them for comfort’s sake?Can controversial friendships exist openly and provoke change in today’s political arena?  
   
  That is for the listener to decide. 
   
  Winston & The Duke was developed through WIN: Writers Innovative Network and was directed by Maureen Payne-Hahner.

  Between the Night and Its Music...

  A. B. Spellman is an acclaimed American poet, music critic, and arts administrator. He is widely recognized as a leading figure in the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, a cultural and literary movement that emphasized Black identity, pride, and artistic expression. Between the Night and Its Music brings together A. B. Spellman's early work with a collection of powerful new poems. Spellman's literary career took flight in 1965 with his debut poetry collection, The Beautiful Days, which introduced his distinctive voice blending elements of jazz, blues, and African oral traditions. In 1966, Four Lives in the Bebop Business established Spellman as a respected music critic and scholar. It was a groundbreaking work that chronicled the lives and struggles of four influential jazz musicians. Spellman held senior positions at the National Endowment for the Arts for thirty years with lasting impact on arts funding for inner cities and rural and tribal communities. In addition to poems from The Beautiful Days (1965) and Things I Must Have Known (2008), this book contains a trove of new and uncollected poems, confirming Spellman's continued centrality to contemporary American literature. This is an essential volume for readers already familiar with Spellman, and an excellent introduction for new readers. Lauri Scheyer's introduction situates Spellman's work within jazz writing, Black Arts, and American poetry broadly.[sample text]THE TWISTa dancer's worldis walls, movementconfined: musicgod's last breath.rhythm: the last beating of his heart. a dancerfollows that sound, blindto its source, toward wallswith others. she cannot dance aloneshe thinks of thoughtas windows, as ice around the dancecan you break it? move
