""A brilliant showcase of the next wave of talent from Welsh Women writers."" Rebecca Parfitt, Commissioning Editor, Honno
""And death, like sex, isn't like it is in the movies. For one thing, there has been much more foreplay."" Lipstick Eyebrows by Naomi Paulus
""The future is Welsh, baby.""To Buy an Expensive Dream, Chinyere Chukwudi-Okeh
""The projector clicked again. On the wall was a photo of Mair holding a placard defiantly, her shoulders squared to the police officer who attempted to wrench it out of her hands. In careful writing she'd printed the words: 'Coal Not Dole'.""Scab by Ellen Davies
""She was aware of the swing of her skirt as she went. Old woman crosses gangplank, she thought. Her reflection threw back someone she wasn't expecting. She was recently ancient, she decided. She recalled the same feeling in reverse when she was twenty and surprised at being a young woman."" Pearls Before Swine by Tracey Rhys

    Up from Slavery is the 1901 autobiography of Booker T.

He reflects on the generosity of both teachers and philanthropists who helped in educating blacks and Native Americans. He describes his efforts to instill manners, breeding, health and a feeling of dignity to students. Booker Taliaferro Washington was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African-American community and of the contemporary black elite.

    Singapore Literature Prize winner Yong Shu Hoong’s latest book features more than just poetry. There is also a ghostly tale at its core, complete with prose poems and micro fiction of exactly 100 words each, as well as annotated excerpts from an abandoned work. 
     
    In this viewing party, readers are invited to take a peek into the domain of death and cinema. You are part of a mob of dispassionate onlookers. Sometimes, you get to play the voyeuristic judge. 
     
    Winner of the 2014 Singapore Literature Prize for English Poetry 
     
    “There’s a warm easiness to Yong’s voice that’s balanced by a sharpness of insight. He cuts through the layers of familial and social habit to the unseen images and urges that give the mundane the sheen of the numinous. If the book is a viewing party, Yong is a genial and attentive host, inviting us in to absorbing scenes of everyday curiosity and surprise.” 
    -Jen Crawford, Assistant Professor and Coordinator of Creative Writing Programme at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

    Listen now to get the key ideas from Margaret Atwood's Book of Lives. 
     
    Book of Lives (2025) by Margaret Atwood reveals how lived experience becomes literature, offering rare insight into the creative mind. In her memoir, Atwood traces her life through her writing—from the childhood cruelties behind Cat’s Eye to the tense atmosphere of Cold War Berlin, where The Handmaid’s Tale took shape. Atwood spent much of her childhood in remote Canadian forests, roaming freely while her entomologist father worked and her adventurous mother kept life running. Independent and imaginative from an early age, she grew up to become one of the greatest storytellers of our time.

    The remarkable story of George Downing—savvy soldier, politician, diplomat, spy, and one of the most scandalous figures of his era.Judged by contemporaries to be a "perfidious rogue," Sir George Downing rose to prominence during the English Civil War as Oliver Cromwell's chief of military intelligence. In the Interregnum he proved himself a double–dealer who bribed and blackmailed his way to diplomatic success across Europe (pioneering the practice of judicial kidnapping and starting two major wars in the process), before spectacularly betraying his friends to horrifically violent deaths by defecting to Charles II's court.Always at the center of events, Downing engaged with the most illustrious men and women of his times: Samuel Pepys was his clerk; John Milton prepared his letters and dispatches; William of Orange was godfather to his son; his next–door neighbor was Queen Elizabeth of Bohemia; and when Downing finally built his street, his surveyor was Sir Christopher Wren.Cromwell's Spy tells George Downing's story for the very first time, following him from the asceticism of Puritan New England, across English battlefields, through courts, chancelleries and parliaments, to the heart of wealth and power in Restoration London.
