  After Sylvia is an anthology of new writing celebrating the work and legacy of Sylvia Plath.

  The Acrobat - Essential Poems

  Wislawa Szymborska

  A paperback original 
  A vibrant collection of the lasting, essential work of the Nobel Prize–winning poet Wislawa Szymborska 
  Wislawa Szymborska’s work is known for its precision, cleverness, deceptive simplicity, and the way the poet plays out domestic and human concerns against the tapestry of history. With a probing, skeptical, and witty eye, Szymborska presents readers with intellectual challenges and philosophical quandaries while remaining accessible and, sometimes, deceptively simple. 
  “A major poet whose dark, complex, and profoundly intelligent work might otherwise have remained lost to us” (Washington Post), Szymborska has benefitted from being sensitively translated and, in this slim essential collection, the best of her work is preserved for her existing audience while providing entry points for new readers. 
  Pithy, playful, ironic, and filled with profound observations, The Acrobat is the must-have collection of Szymborska’s most important poetry, also featuring “The Poet and the World,” her Nobel lecture.

  A punchy and provocative story about democracy, power, and how we can try to build a better world.
  A generation of young people has been let down. Schools are crumbling, the NHS is falling apart, and soon there won't be a planet left to save. It feels like the people in charge simply don't care.
  Pushed to the edge, a group of teenagers decide to create a future for themselves, carving out a utopia away from the failings of those who came before. But if you rebuild a society from the ground up, how do you avoid making the same mistakes?
  Abi Falase and Tatenda Shamiso's play The Village was first staged at the Almeida Theatre, London, performed by the Almeida Young Company.
  The Nick Hern Books Multiplay Drama series features large-cast plays specifically written to be performed by and appeal to young adults. For more information, visit www.multiplaydrama.co.uk.

  This chapbook of poetry and prose pieces reflects philosophically and aesthetically on the relationships between art and the world, including through the global experience of Covid-related lockdowns. Though generally following an extended haiku-like format, some are longer prose poems, and an extended verse poem reflects on the city where the author lives, Johannesburg, South Africa.

  Paradise Lost

  John Milton

  "Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven."
  
  In the wake of a failed cosmic rebellion, the fallen archangel Satan awakens on a burning lake of fire. Undefeated in spirit, he rallies his legions of demons to build the palace of Pandemonium and plots a subtle revenge against the Almighty. His target? God's newest and most beloved creation: Humanity. Milton's masterpiece takes us from the depths of Tartarus to the heights of the Empyrean, and finally to the lush, innocent borders of the Garden of Eden. Here, we witness the tragic temptation of Adam and Eve, a choice that changes the course of human history forever.
  
  The Greatest Antagonist in Literature: Milton's Satan is a character of terrifying complexity. He is a charismatic leader, a tormented intellectual, and a "tragic hero" whose pride leads to his inevitable ruin. His journey from a shining angel to a crawling serpent is one of the most powerful character arcs ever written, influencing centuries of "Byronic heroes" and anti-heroes.
  
  The Beauty of the Fall: While Satan's rebellion provides the spectacle, the emotional heart of the poem lies in Book IX, where Adam and Eve face the serpent. Milton portrays their relationship with profound psychological depth, exploring themes of free will, reason, and the heavy burden of knowledge. The final lines of the poem, as the pair walks hand-in-hand out of Eden into a "subject world," are among the most moving in all of literature.
  
  The Power of Blank Verse: Discarding the "bondage of rhyming," Milton used unrhymed iambic pentameter (blank verse) to create a sense of vast, architectural scale. The language is dense, musical, and filled with classical allusions, creating a reading experience that feels truly "epic."
  
  Step into the cosmic theater. Purchase "Paradise Lost" today and witness the struggle for the soul of the world.
