Beschreibung

'I write. I demand. I ask.
Not for women to have power over men but over themselves.'
Trailblazing writer, feminist philosopher, and fearless campaigner for women's rights, Mary Wollstonecraft lived a life of courage and determination. She dared to defy the conventions of eighteenth-century Britain, and kept going when many wanted to bring her down.
Maureen Lennon's play Mary and the Hyenas is a searing tribute to the spirit and resilience of a woman who fought for equality and justice – and an exhilarating dive into history and the birth of feminism. Be prepared for petticoats to be lifted, boots to be stamped, and voices raised in the pursuit of change.
Featuring electrifying music by Billy Nomates and performed by a cast of six, Mary and the Hyenas was first produced by Hull Truck Theatre and Pilot Theatre, directed by Esther Richardson, and opened at Hull Truck Theatre in 2025 before a UK tour.
This edition includes the full text of the play along with a range of teaching materials and resources designed to help educators bring the play to life for their students.
Verfügbar seit: 20.02.2025.

    In her first book, poet Havva Ramadan explores the pain of grief, the struggle of mental health, and the journey we all must take to collect our pieces and rebuild ourselves once again. 
    With a mix of her most widely loved poems and previously unpublished material, A Voice, narrated by the author herself, is a beautiful collection of Havva's work that shows her deeply personal and relatable journey. Havva’s words are a light in the darkness for anyone struggling to find their own inner strength and turn their pain into power. 
    And should they stop loving you one day 
    I hope you know that it was nothing to do with your 
    capacity to be loved but their own capacity to live up to 
    the expectations they had built within the love they had 
    displayed unto you. 
    I hope you know that it does not make you unlovable, it 
    just means that this love is no more 
    but that you will be more without it. 
    POWERFUL POEMS: Havva’s evocative poetry offers validation and encouragement for anyone struggling to find their own inner strength. 
    HIGHLY ACCESSIBLE: The honest, thoughtful, and inspirational reflections in A Voice will resonate with readers of all ages and genders.

    "A truly magical achievement." —Ocean Vuong 
     
     
     
    In Trace Evidence, the urgent follow-up to his award-winning debut Into Each Room We Enter without Knowing, Charif Shanahan continues his piercing meditations on the intricacies of mixed-race identity, queer desire, time, mortality, and the legacies of anti-Blackness in the US and abroad. At the collection's center sits "On the Overnight from Agadir," a poem that chronicles Shanahan's survival of a devastating bus accident in Morocco, his mother's birth country, and ruminates on home, belonging, and the mysteries of fate. With rich lyricism, power, and tenderness, Trace Evidence centers the racial periphery and excavates the vestiges of our violent colonial past in the most intimate aspects of our lives. In a language yoked equally to the physical and metaphysical worlds, the poet articulates the need we all share for real intimacy and connection, and proves, time and again, that the true cost of our separateness is the love that our survival requires.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    A story telling throughout poetry is what you'll find here. This book wasn't planned or meticulously well thought, simply flowed out of my heart. You'll dive into eight months of discovery, confusion, adventure and romance between two young people with completely different backgrounds and everything that lies in between. "The Weight of Wanting” is split in six chapters: in silence, in dreams, in flames, in tears, in her, in me.

    GAZA Today: Would You Turn Your Back. 
    (Harmony-Join Book 4) 
    Everyone knows what Gaza is. A strip of land in the Middle East, being vociferously fought over. 
    I don't want to get into the Politics of it, but at least a brush with it is unavoidable if you attempt 
    any kind of dialogue or description of the occurrences that are happening there - truly awful. 
    This poem is a short one, and keeps to the suffering of its people, and not delving too much into sides 
    of the Political spectrum. 
    I think the suffering in a modern day scenario with instant and graphic footage of this one-sided war 
    is horrific. 
    Regardless of who did what to who, and who did it first etc, it should be focused on the humanitarian side 
    in any conflict lest we lose sight of what we maybe fighting for - I think the focus on humanity has been totally 
    lost. 
    Are we to Turn Our Back on these people. The West should push for extreme Sanctions to reign in the seemingly 
    unstoppable gungho aggression of the combatants - There is a Geneva convention you know. 
    It can only mean something if it is enforced... 
    Footnote: This Poem is all about the kids in this conflict. Whose right and whose wrong, shouldn't come into it 
    on the humanitarian field of view.

    I hate to be the one to tell you...

    It's a shame, isn't it, to have to rat on your neighbours? Upsetting to find out that both your husband and the dog have been telling you lies? And I hate to be the one to tell you this, but there are bad people everywhere, at large, going about their business. Financial insolvents on online-dating sites, contortionist plumbers with a point to prove, and a bloke named Barry, from Halifax, who is singlehandedly ruining the livelihoods of perfectly legitimate psychics.
    It's not all bad news though, there are sham marriages to look forward to, ducklings to be held captive by, and that dog, well, you can always put him up for sale. Life, I'm afraid, is based on nothing more than slippery moorings, and this debut pamphlet breaks the bad news with humour and a twist of darkness.
    The poems in this collection erupt with beauty and emotional resonance. These are graceful meditations on human relationships with each other and with themselves. The voice of the poet is strikingly unique, but there are also moments when it seems to be coming from within us, from the place of personal wonder: 'Outside a wood-pigeon coos monotonously / its slung together nest is hidden from view, / just like your knickers are, mostly, / and your feelings about your mother.' – Romalyn Ante, co-judge of the International Book & Pamphlet Competition
