Unfinished Faith - Poems of...

Elaine Rumboll

Unfinished Faith: Poems of Faith, Silence, and the Quiet Work of God is a contemplative poetry audiobook for listeners who encounter God not in certainty, but in stillness, wilderness, and the fragile beauty of ordinary life.
Written and narrated by South African poet Elaine Rumboll, this collection invites a slow, attentive way of listening. These poems are shaped by silence, breath, and the long interior work of grace. Faith here is not triumphant or polished. It is tender, stubborn, and luminous — a quiet turning toward God in seasons of doubt, waiting, grief, and becoming.
Rumboll writes from the ground level of spiritual life: dust and dusk, longing and prayer, the ache of not knowing, and the quiet astonishment that God may be nearer than we dare to believe. These poems do not rush toward answers. They linger, listen, and make space for what is unfinished.
Rooted in the movement from Lent into Easter, the audiobook unfolds in four parts: Becoming Still, Entering the Wilderness, God of the Ordinary, and Returning Light — tracing a faith that is honest, raw, and still forming.
The author’s voice is central to the experience. Narrated in a deep, resonant, and unhurried tone, the audiobook is designed to be listened to slowly, poem by poem. Silence is part of the listening. These poems are not meant to be consumed in one sitting, but returned to — during walks, early mornings, evenings of prayer, or seasons of waiting.
This audiobook is for listeners who:
Seek God in silence rather than certainty
Are living through grief, transition, or spiritual unknowing
Love poetry that is spacious, reverent, and attentive
This is not a book to rush through.
It is an audiobook to accompany the slow, necessary journey home.

Is My Microphone On?

Jordan Tannahill

'After thousands of years, I have a mouth… So if you don't mind, Mum, Dad, I'm going to speak. I'm going to shout. When I become a human I'm going to use some words. Can you still hear me? Is my microphone on?'
Young people have inherited a burning world. In Jordan Tannahill's urgent and lyrical play, they reckon with the generations who have come before them, questioning the choices that have been made, and the ones that they will yet be forced to make.
In Is My Microphone On? an ensemble of young performers hold the audience to account, and invite them to experience the world together anew.
The play was commissioned by the Theater der Welt festival in Germany, premiered in English by Canadian Stage, Toronto, in 2021, and performed by youth theatres across the UK as part of the 2023 National Theatre Connections Festival. It offers opportunities for a large, flexible cast of any size or mix of genders, and can incorporate chorus work, movement and music.

Bad Weather Mammals - Poems

Ashley-Elizabeth Best

“The sick should be good. / It is a kind of undoing,” Ashley-Elizabeth Best writes in her second collection. Bad Weather Mammals navigates the devastations and joys of living in a disabled and traumatized body. By taking a backward glance, she traces how growing up under the maladaptive bureaucracy of social services with a single disabled mother and five younger siblings led her to a precarious future in which she is also disabled and living on social assistance. In poems that explore a variety of formal constraints, such as the suite “ODSP 1, 2, & 3,” which infuses government forms with lyric poetry, she suggests all the ways the medical and bureaucratic systems can dehumanize and traumatize our most vulnerable citizens. By digging deep into her own experiences, Best has archived the ways we fail each other in our most desperate times — while at the same time outlining how we can show up to revel in disabled joy and community. Bad Weather Mammals disassembles dominant narratives about how disabled individuals should be and reconceptualizes the embodied experiences that recenter us in our own narrative.
