  A thrilling and moving lyrical descriptive poem in the style of legendary Australian bush poets Andrew ‘Banjo’ Paterson and Henry Lawson. Australian bush ballads are renowned for their easy-flowing style and comfortable rhythmic pace, and this poem is a beautifully crafted example of that art. 
  A desperate Australian farming family caught in a drought and under threat of mortgage foreclosure in a few days, form a plan to enter their horse Bonny Blue in a horse race (the Carling Cup), with 16-year-old son Jack to ride her. She has raced before but was injured (long since healed) and now she works on the farm. 
  Jack and Bonny Blue use their fighting spirit and their bond to overcome inexperience, prejudice, and overwhelming odds in the race for the Carling Cup – a race destined to become legendary.

  'We're dying of manners. We're under siege from personal embarrassment. This is not sane. This is not rational. That woman is a monster!'
  While on holiday, Peter and Debbie befriend Elsa: a lusty, Trump-loving widow from Denver, USA. She's less than woke but kind of wonderful. They agree to stay in touch – because no one ever really does, do they?
  When Elsa invites herself to stay a few months later, they decide to look her up online. Too late, they learn the truth about Elsa Jean Krakowski. Deadly danger has just boarded a flight to London! But how do you protect all that you love from mortal peril without seeming, well, a bit impolite? Because guess who's coming... to murder!
  Steven Moffat's play The Unfriend takes a hilarious and satirical look at middle-class England's disastrous instinct always to appear nice. It was first performed at the Minerva Theatre, Chichester, in 2022, before transferring to London's West End – first to the Criterion Theatre, then to Wyndham's – in 2023.
  Steven Moffat is an award-winning writer whose internationally successful television shows include Doctor Who, Sherlock and Dracula – the latter two co-written with actor and writer Mark Gatiss, who made his stage directorial debut with The Unfriend.

  In a day where technology and numbers dominate and scream at our brains, we are slowly forgetting how to whisper and cradle our hearts with its language. We slowly leave our hearts blind by drifting art from its eyes and our hearts deaf by silencing poetry. We forget the importance of these fundamental things in our lives and the importance of different forms of art, which keep our hearts at peace and belong in the home it longs for.

  The Tattoo Collector

  "I moved to a country called writing" declares Tim Tim Cheng in this striking debut collection. The Tattoo Collector explores family history, displacement, politics, protest, and, as it moves between East and West, the uses of language to illustrate and interrogate what lies in between. As these poems range from Hong Kong, Scotland, and London, they unravel the relationship between the body, ecology and class with precise and haunting tenderness.
  Here, in Cheng's illuminating and needle-sharp poems, the tattoo is a narrative, the body a radical means of expression. In states of flux, between resisting and belonging, we enter museums, hospitals, graveyards, and gigs. These intimate and polyphonic poems invite us to be troubled and enthralled by exhibits and the stories they have to tell, to look inside the glass box and study what is on display. Close-up, the poems bring into the daylight details that can be seen skin-deep on the surface, as well as those which point to another meaning, inked indelibly, beneath.
