Synopsis

Robert Peake's second full collection of poems is about weathering storms—personal, political, psychological—in our present-day climate of chaos. These are matters of life or death, and Cyclone urges us to consider what the ill wind may bring, and how we will survive it.
Peake's acutely tuned poems bring eloquence and urgency to matters of profound devastation. With shattering delicacy, he writes of personal loss, of grief and the long aftermath; "whenever the wind sprays into my face, I taste salt of your absence".
These poems also hazard an eye at the global weather and find a world in turmoil, wild with unreliable news and terrible forecasts. Manifesting between the storms is the man with the kindest face. Is he here to save us or warn us? A guide or a harbinger? As these brilliantly-visioned poems suggest, nothing is certain in the eye of the storm. Nevertheless, there is some form of consolation and rescue: "He seems at home in this tempest. He seems happy".

    Theatre Royal. The very name summons up something of grandeur and eloquence. And it was. Hosted by Laurence Olivier, these big-name productions also included the creme de la creme of acting talents from John Gielgud, Ralph Richardson, and Orson Welles to Trevor Howard, Michael Redgrave, and Olivier himself. They were based on works by the worlds’ leading authors, among them Charles Dickens, Henry James, Oscar Wilde, and Anton Chekhov.  These are but a few of whose company we shall be keeping as we raise the curtain on our first installment of theatrical history.

    Poetry. Asian & Asian American Studies. Winner of the 2021 Off the Grid Poetry Prize. In MORE AMERICAN, poet Sharon Hashimoto reconstructs a collective memory, conjuring the voices of grandparents, children, soldiers, and "those left to tell." In moving detail, these poems convey the realities of assimilation, service, and internment as experienced by Japanese Americans during, and in the decades following, the Second World War. In this stunning second collection, Hashimoto reckons with the limitations of language, and by extension, notions of citizenship. She deftly sounds the dissonances in the language of loyalty and allegiance.

    A play for anyone that's ever been a dick on the dance floor.
    A wedding. A free bar. A blast from the past.
    G and Kayla's lives are a mess but tonight they're determined to Have It Large. As their veins course with adrenaline and cheap prosecco, we follow them on an epic journey through thirty years of Pop.
    Can the DJ save them as they become Dancing Queens, reliving their Teenage Dream, Staying Out For The Summer and Spicing Up Their Lives? Pop makes promises it can't keep, and soon they'll discover they have more in common than their taste in tunes.
    Anna Jordan's play Pop Music is an emotionally contagious rollercoaster. It was premiered at Latitude Festival in July 2018 before a run at Birmingham Repertory Theatre and touring the West Midlands.

    Janet lives with her husband Philip, and son John, in Brisbane, Australia. They became Christians in 2010 at their home church The River of Life Centre in Brisbane. Janet has always been able to put together rhymes but when she became a Christian at the age of 52 her friend and mentor Christine Gear encouraged her to journal every morning.The verses and poems became a regular occurrence, words from God that would speak to what was occurring in her life. These words, that touched her own heart and spirit with unexpected messages from the pages of her journal, seemed to have an effect on others who read them too, and she would pass them to friends when she knew the word was for them.As a new Christian, Janet says she had no idea that God sometimes talks to us in these amazing ways.Her prayer for you is that somewhere in the words you find a connection in your spirit that speaks only to you, and that it will bring you something special.

    "Perhaps we are all unique volumes, yet it is undeniable that we are ALL living the same story. All is connected, all is YOU." - Andrea Furtick, author 
    Can you remember back to a time of hearing beautiful lessons of wisdom wrapped within the words of poetic stories? 
    We do, and if you don't, allow this to be a glorious first experience. 
    The Fool's Journey and the 56 Movements of Minor Explorations is truly a captivating storybook exploring the wisdom of the mysticisms of the ancient Tarot divination system. With each page, the author so eloquently decodes each of the 79 energies that have been used for centuries (along with one special addition energy from the author herself, entitled The Supreme) and gives the reader a common understanding of not only each energy's meaning, but also demonstrates how these energies connect and align with each other to ultimately form "the Fool's journey." 
    Narrated by the author, this audio-drama will take you through the "path of occurrences" and elegantly illustrate the positivity to be seen from it all. 
    Originally released as a stunning indie tarot deck in 2018, called The Afro Goddess Tarot Arcanas, these "cards turned story pages" will absolutely leave you feeling both visually and mentally inspired to live your truest and most positive life journey. 
    "All is connected. All is YOU."
