  In our timeless, fast-paced world, Sinuous Heart delves into the haunting emotional landscapes of our relationships, both romantic and platonic. This poignant poetry collection captures the essence of loneliness that often lingers in empty connections, leaving us yearning for authenticity and companionship.  
  Through vivid imagery and heartfelt language, Fay van Burg delves into the struggles of maintaining intimacy and sincerity in a time when distractions abound, and meaningful encounters are fleeting. With lines that pulse with both pain and beauty, Sinuous Heart paints a striking portrait of the heart’s journey, a whirlwind of reality where joy and sorrow exist side by side.  
  Readers will find solace in these verses, reflecting on their own emotional battles of the shared human experience when seeking connection in a disconnected world. This collection is a testament to the strength of vulnerability. The words within are an invitation to embrace the complexity of our hearts as we, as one, navigate love, loss, and everything in between.

  Your Therapist Says It’s Magical...

  Sadie McCarney’s Your Therapist Says It’s Magical Thinking is a buoyant second collection that playfully navigates the turbulent waters of life with mental illness and neurodivergence. In much of the book, history and science are treated the way they are often viewed by a brain in mental turmoil: places and events get switched around, facts get rewritten, and the fantastical reigns supreme. Through poems ranging from didactic (the horrible “self-care” advice received by the poet when she was struggling most) to historical fiction (patients in an asylum in 1800s England), to the quirky and unexpectedly fantastical (a rainbow carpool unicorn, a young child’s timeline reversing each morning, and an everything bagel that includes competing theories of time), McCarney digs deep into the muck of her own lived experience. She resurfaces with, if not gold, at least an old time capsule and a few treasured hunks of bone. Your Therapist Says It’s Magical Thinking highlights the sometimes dubious (but always jubilant) inner workings of a mentally unwell brain at play — especially within the context of a larger society that frequently seeks to tamp down this weird and rare form of magic.

  'It costs something to make a meaningful noise.'
  When two teenagers meet after choir practice, they begin the most important relationship of their lives. Not everyone has what it takes to succeed, but Maggie and Paul are determined to.
  Two decades later, a chance encounter with their old teacher forces them to confront a past they thought was long buried.
  Overtone is an intimate, funny and unflinching play about love getting older – the adventures we were promised, the choices we think we made, and the cost of finally being honest. Tom Brennan's play premiered at the Pleasance during the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, directed by John Hoggarth and presented by The North Wall.

  The final play of the Oresteia, called The Eumenides (Εὐμενίδες, Eumenídes), illustrates how the sequence of events in the trilogy ends up in the development of social order or a proper judicial system in Athenian society. 
  In this play, Orestes is hunted down and tormented by the Furies, a trio of goddesses known to be the instruments of justice, who are also referred to as the "Gracious Ones" (Eumenides). They relentlessly pursue Orestes for the killing of his mother. However, through the intervention of Apollo, Orestes is able to escape them for a brief moment while they are asleep and head to Athens under the protection of Hermes. Seeing the Furies asleep, Clytemnestra's ghost comes to wake them up to obtain justice on her son Orestes for killing her.

  Red Corner - a poetic collection

  Through spoken word and musical compositions, Red Corner underpins the interconnectedness of key themes: identity, sexual health, neurodiversity, queer and political issues, sexism, racism, illness, suicide, perseverance, and navigating intergenerational trauma. Be transported by Dawn's raw and vulnerable tone: a visceral and transformative experience. Accompanied by musician and songwriter Salwa. 
  “The early chapters are spare, confessional, and often emotionally messy...strange, uncanny, and disorienting. In the first half of the collection, Web typically favours economical, lyric poetry reminiscent of Phyllis Webb’s Naked Poems, but often plays with the rhythmic and declarative registers of slam poetry, sections of dialogue that call to mind screenwriting, and prose poems. This formal elasticity builds towards the sixth chapter, Vortex, a personal essay that chronicles the poet’s journey through mental illness, sexual assault, and sexual identity. The voice in this chapter and the following—Backwards, a socially-minded section reminiscent of Karen Solie’s politically charged poetry—is confident, even strident; the path to that self-assurance has been traced in the earlier chapters, which reveal Web’s ambivalence, in terms of diagnosis, embodiment, illness, and treatment. In the final chapters, Web returns to an intimate and confessional voice that opens towards a greater sense of connectivity, community, and acceptance. RED CORNER is more than a collection—it’s a carefully mapped journey that acknowledges the difficult and essential nature of self-acceptance... Web’s first book is a great read—it’s complex, thoughtful, and engaging. The breadth and the depth of the writing in RED CORNER promises that it won’t be the last from this ambitious, brave, and introspective young writer.”
