Equally True

Sinossi

These poems arise from a life shaped by profound love and the long, faithful work of grief. They move through marriage, motherhood, belief, addiction, endurance, and loss with tenderness and clarity, offering not a record of suffering but a listening presence within it. At their heart is the conviction that love does not end and that grief, though costly, can become a place of deep spiritual attention.

Grounded in lived experience, the poems dwell on the ordinary objects and moments that carry the weight of the sacred. A pair of insoles cut by hand, a jug on a windowsill, a remembered look or phrase. Such details become touchstones, holding what cannot be resolved yet continues to shape the soul. Memory here is active and alive, a form of communion rather than recollection.

Faith is not assumed or neatly affirmed. It is questioned, tested, and returned to in fragments, gestures, and acts of care. Grief is shown as both breaking and refining, a slow discipline that sharpens compassion and deepens understanding.

Written with musical sensitivity and brave emotional honesty, these poems offer recognition rather than answers. They speak to those who know that powerful love leaves a lasting imprint and that through loss, the soul may be changed, enlarged, and quietly sustained by grace.

Shout

Alexis Zegerman

'I want to connect. I want to be able to laugh and love, and be loved back... I want to be able to speak, without throwing up.'
In a world full of words, how can Dana be herself when she can't speak? Dana has selective mutism, but that doesn't stem her vivid imagination. Because it's not just the noise you make that makes you who you are.
Alexis Zegerman's play Shout is a funny, moving drama about anxiety, celebrating difference, and finding your voice. It wonders what exactly it takes to overcome anxiety and cope with mental health issues when you're a teenager.
Written specifically for young people, the play formed part of the 2024 National Theatre Connections Festival and was premiered by youth theatres across the UK, including a performance at the National Theatre, London. It offers opportunities for a flexible cast of any size and mix of genders.

Ambient Technology

Ashley Obscura

A shimmering exploration of love, longing, and the strange tenderness of modern life. 
In her second collection, Ashley Obscura writes into the frequencies of a post-digital era—where desire, memory, embodiment, and signal constantly overlap. Ambient Technology traces the divide between what’s visible and what’s unspoken, the human heartbeat and the coded symbol. These poems reach toward the resilient interior of each of us, where intimacy endures and belonging reshapes itself.

New and Selected Poems

Cliff Yates

Cliff Yates's New & Selected Poems brings together over thirty years of inimitable work, from his Fenton-Aldeburgh Prize debut, Henry's Clock, to his most recent pamphlet, Another Last Word and beyond. His poems are moving, surprising and funny, sometimes in the space of a few lines, and, gathered together wonderfully here, add up to an oblique but compelling document of lives and times.

The Flowers of Evil

Charles Baudelaire

Loneliness, temptation, the fragility of man in a soulless new age . . . The controversial, banned masterpiece from the nineteenth-century French poet.   Sparking scandal in France, declared “an outrage to public morals” and “an offense to religious morals” by the Ministry of the Interior, The Flowers of Evil plunged Charles Baudelaire into a controversy that his public image never quite overcame. Nevertheless, the collection has since been lauded as a landmark in literary history and its writer extolled as the first modern poet.   With themes of love, world-weariness, beauty, and death, The Flowers of Evil juxtaposes the sublime with the commonplace. In the section titled “Parisian Scenes” are some of Baudelaire’s greatest poems—“The Swan,” “The Little Old Women,” and “The Seven Old Men”—which give readers an unsentimental view of the City of Light and of a bleak urban existence. As the Wall Street Journal proclaimed, “There is a sense in these angry, eructating late fragments of a man fully releasing himself to what he called ‘the joy of downward descent.’ And where Baudelaire went, modernity tended to follow.”  “The essence of a genius.” —The Guardian  “The profound originality of Charles Baudelaire is to represent powerfully and essentially modern man.” —Paul Verlaine
