    The Other Side of Nowhere is a radical, psychedelic journal of the end- times, whose poems portray a world of intransigence, a world where the safety of words like place or home have started to unravel. This pamphlet finds the author of The Promised Land: Poems from Itinerant Life (Penguin, 2017) exploring the American West, from forgotten gold rush towns in Arizona to the lives of historical figures from the Golden State's xenophobic history, allowing Naffis-Sahely to turn his wry worldly gaze on some of our era's most pressing subjects.

    The Trojan War is over and Odysseus, the cunning King of Ithaca, sets out for home, his wife Penelope and his son Telemachus. It proves a long, ten-year journey, fraught with dangers, from Polyphemus, the one-eyed Cyclops, and the seductive Sirens, to the love of Calypso on her all-too-comfortable isle. When he arrives in Ithaca, he has to contend with a group of suitors who have been pressing his wife to forget about her husband, admit she is a widow, and marry one of them. Anton Lesser, one of Britain’s finest audiobook stars, brings this great classic to life in the new and imaginative translation by Ian Johnston.

    One of Dickens's best-loved and most autobiographical stories, brilliantly and faithfully dramatised by Alastair Cording.
    All Dickens's marvellous creations are here: Mr Micawber, Uriah Heep, Mrs Peggotty, Murdstone, Steerforth and Betsey Trotwood. Weaving through the colourful maze of the storyline is David's hopeless infatuation with Emily – and eventual salvation in the arms of the long-suffering Agnes.
    Alastair Cording's stage adaptation skilfully concentrates on the essentials of the story while maintaining the colour, humour and drama of the book. Most notable is its fluidity, with each scene flowing into the next without the need for cumbersome scene changes – or much scenery at all. Performable by a cast of eight, if necessary, but equally offering good roles to thirty or more.
    'One of the cleverest adaptations you are likely to see' - Ipswich Evening Star
    'All the drama, pathos and humour of David Copperfield's eventful young life are vividly realised in this enthralling adaptation' - The Stage

    "With meticulous detail and plainspoken language, Rhonda Harris Slota unveils the story of a family held hostage by religious extremism when its beloved father falls victim to hallucinations and paranoia. In adulthood, the daughter sets out to make peace with her father and through that process, constructs a covenant of her own, one of compassion and forgiveness." 
    ~ Paula Amen-Judah, author of Añoranza 
    "Rhonda Harris Slota’s writing is so fine, so precise, the way it includes the flowers, the laundry, the secrets, that I devoured her story. Incandescent poetry that shimmers as it remembers and reveals." 
    ~ Lauren Coodley, author of Lost Napa Valley 
    -- 
    Set in rural, southern Indiana in the 50’s-70’s, these poems tell the story of a complex family dynamic. This debut collection blends Bible images, authentic dialogue and powerful natural forces to relay the effects of family trauma and mental illness. 
    The daughter often questions her own sanity as she watches her fundamentalist father struggle with internal demons and the illusion that he is the prophet, Elijah. In this patriarchal world, the women hold together the seams of life’s tapestry through perseverance, inner wisdom and love. 
    As time passes and the father plunges deep into his fears and delusions, his young daughter learns to forge her own pathway through the maze of duality: dark and light, fear and joy. This finally leads her to reconciliation and acceptance through spiritual surrender.
