Summary

An illustrated gift-book of poems for a person you love, even if that person is you.“Technically brilliant, emotionally beguiling and, at times, startling.”—A View from HereThe Light of Love is the third book in the Twelve Poems to Inspire Gift Book series, a range of gift-books for festivals like Mother’s Day and Christmas, as well as milestones we all experience, including loss and new beginnings. The Light of Love celebrates Valentine’s Day—and love in all its forms.These twelve poems delve into the two sides of love—the euphoria and contentment we adore as well as the moments that test us along the way—while encouraging us to celebrate the full spectrum of life’s emotions viewed through a lens of love.In accessible, sometimes conversational, language the poet draws from her own marriage, friendships and family life, and reflects on love not just as collaborative emotion but an interior one we should also direct at ourselves.The poems in this collection are written to be reread often. Musing over their evocative yet accessible language, the reader will find comfort in the tender but powerful messages that only true love can provide.Strikingly real, with powerful candor and passion, the book contains two sections, Heartbreak and Heartease, each poem spectacularly illustrated by pictures the poet co-created with the AI artist app, Dream.Whoever needs this gift from you, these moving assertions of passion and pain, heart and healing will move you and reconnect you to the meaning of true love.A thoughtful gift for lovers on Valentine’s Day—or for a loved one any day of the year.

    An imaginative child's glorious fantasies – of dolphins and dragonflies, gingerbread houses and chocolate rivers – offer him an escape from hostile reality.
When reality dictates he has to conform to the 'real world', he has to make a choice. Should he live authentically and risk stigma, or can he continue to hide?
Based on real events from the perspective of the writer and the autistic community, JJ Green's A-Typical Rainbow is an uplifting play about the experience of growing up neurodivergent and queer in early 2000s Britain.
It premiered at London's Turbine Theatre in June 2022, produced by Aria Entertainment, directed by Bronagh Lagan, and starring playwright JJ Green, who is a passionate advocate for autistic artists like himself.
This edition includes the full text of the play along with testimonies about working in the theatre industry by the largely – and proudly – neurodivergent creative team.

    A Midsummer Night's Dream is a comedy written by William Shakespeare.    It portrays the events surrounding the marriage of Theseus, the Duke of Athens, to Hippolyta, the former queen of the Amazons. These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of six amateur actors (the mechanicals) who are controlled and manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest in which most of the play is set. The play is one of Shakespeare's most popular works for the stage and is widely performed across the world.    The play consists of four interconnecting plots, connected by a celebration of the wedding of Duke Theseus of Athens and the Amazon queen, Hippolyta, which is set simultaneously in the woodland and in the realm of Fairyland, under the light of the moon.    The play opens with Hermia, who is in love with Lysander, resistant to her father Egeus' demand that she wed Demetrius, whom he has arranged for her to marry. Helena meanwhile pines unrequitedly for Demetrius. Enraged, Egeus invokes an ancient Athenian law before Duke Theseus, whereby a daughter must marry the suitor chosen by her father, or else face death. Theseus offers her another choice: lifelong chastity while worshipping the goddess Artemis as a nun.    Peter Quince and his fellow players Nick Bottom, Francis Flute, Robin Starveling, Tom Snout, and Snug plan to put on a play for the wedding of the Duke and the Queen, "the most lamentable comedy and most cruel death of Pyramus and Thisbe". Quince reads the names of characters and bestows them to the players. Nick Bottom, who is playing the main role of Pyramus, is over-enthusiastic and wants to dominate others by suggesting himself for the characters of Thisbe, the Lion, and Pyramus at the same time. He would also rather be a tyrant and recites some lines of Ercles. Bottom is told by Quince that he would do the Lion so terribly as to frighten the duchess and ladies enough for the Duke and Lords to have the players hanged. Quince ends the meeting with "at the Duke's oak we meet."
