  Please make me pretty I don't...

  The debut collection of an exciting new voice in poetry 
   
   
   
  Please make me pretty, I don't want to die explores tactility, sound, sensuality, and intimacy. Set across the four seasons of a year, these fresh and original poems by Tawanda Mulalu combine an inviting confessional voice and offbeat imagery, and offer an appealing mixture of seriousness and humor. 
   
   
   
  The speaker of these poems probes romantic and interracial intimacy, the strangeness and difficulty of his experiences as a diasporic Black African in White America, his time working as a teacher's assistant in a third-grade classroom, and his ambivalent admiration for canonical poets who have influenced him, especially Sylvia Plath. Juxtaposing traditional forms such as sonnets and elegies with less orthodox interjections, such as prose-poem "prayers" and other meditations, the collection presents a poetic world both familiar and jarring—one in which history, the body, and poetry can collide in a single surprising turn of image: "The stars also suffer. Immense and dead, their gasses burn / distant like castanets of antebellum teeth. My open window / a synecdoche of country."

  Capturing the humour, sadness and joy of everyday life, Francesca Martinez's play All of Us is a passionate and timely look at the human cost of abandoning those who struggle to fit in.

  "The Black Mom" by Ifeanyi Njoku is a tribute to the resilience, strength, and unwavering love of Black mothers. The poem portrays a mother who endures hardships with grace, building a legacy from struggle while nurturing her children with wisdom and love. She instills strength in them, teaching them their worth beyond societal expectations. 
  Her presence is deeply connected to ancestral wisdom, carrying the spirit of warriors who came before her. Despite challenges, she fights for her children’s future, balancing prayers, tears, and perseverance. Even in adversity, she finds moments to smile, embodying the history, pride, and struggles of her people. 
  The poem urges readers to truly see and acknowledge the power in Black mothers—not just as individuals but as the foundation of their families and communities. She is not just a mother; she is the roots, the branches, and the strength of generations. 
  With an additional Voice by Njoku Juliet Nwanyichukwu
