Summary

According to Entertainment Weekly, “Nin Andrews is the Wonder Woman of poetry. Her golden lasso is the prose poem, a form she’s mastered with more than dexterity and wit.” This collection comes at a time when feminist and gender studies are becoming more predominant in research and higher education/class room settings. It fits the hot streak of new books on feminist theory and women's studies, and adds new, revolutionary perspectives to the popular discussion. According to a new HuffPost/YouGov poll (2013), 20% of Americans explicitly identify as feminists, though the vast majority fit the basic definition of the word. 82% of survey respondents agree that "men and women should be social, political, and economic equals."This collection has a cross-genre quality between fantasy and science fiction.
Available since: 05/18/2015.

    *poetry 
My father is a king, my sister is a princess . . . and I am a death maiden. 
My heart has been captured by a warrior boy, but a valkyrie has no time for love. Valhalla awaits the delivery of honored dead, and any delay will draw unwanted attention. Attention that will put the boy I love in danger, and my loyalty to Asgard in question. 
The threads of fate spin as I struggle to reconcile my role and my love, but the cruelty of the gods may lay waste to the hope in my heart as destiny calls for blood and death. 
*includes the poem The Valkyrie and Raven

    Poetry of ambivalence, humour, and doubt that belies a kind of optimism  

Dumpster fires outside discount stores and rotting whale carcasses; optical illusions and memento mori—all “coming to you direct, / by way of this Rube Goldberg machine.” Failure to Thrive zigzags through excess, taking in the big picture through the lens of a pinhole camera. These poems ask us to lean into our senses, to “spend time loitering, slipping coins into attention’s slots, / anticipating the next big pay-off.” 
Hip and cerebral, this witty collection is as quick to make fun of itself as it is to turn its humour outward, where false historians have free rein, answers come in the form of questions, and the apocalypse seems like a good time to knit a sweater. Suzannah Showler’s debut shows us how a failing world can be the site of aesthetic renewal rather than decline.

    "I have to fight back. But I can't fight back. It's so strong, the feeling is so strong. I can't breathe and there's a tapping a light tapping that's when I wake. I wake up."
Two sisters struggle to survive in the wake of a toxic childhood. Each must find a way to build a life out of chaos. But what happens when the ties that bind become the thing that holds you back?
Inextricably linked by blood, all they have is each other.
Kathryn O'Reilly's play Poisoned Polluted is a stark, bold, powerful and poetic drama looking at the effects on adult life of childhood trauma and the cycles of drug abuse. It premiered at the Old Red Lion Theatre, London, in November 2019.

    Evgenii Onegin - New Translation...

    Alexander Pushkin

    Evgenii Onegin is best known in the West through Tchaikovsky’s opera Eugene Onegin. But the original narrative poem (consisting of  389 stanzas, the form of which has become known as the ‘Pushkin sonnet’) is one of the landmarks of Russian literature. In the poem, the eponymous hero repudiates love, only to later experience the pain of rejection himself. Pushkin’s unique style proves timeless in its exploration of love, life, passion, jealousy and  the consequences of social convention. This is the first time the work has appeared on audiobook and is part of the Naxos AudioBooks intention to make the major European literary works available on audiobook.
