  For Charly, every day is the same. Things used to be different, when there was Clo, but now there isn't Clo, and Charly doesn't want to dwell on that. She just wants to chug coffee, blast Beastie Boys and deal drugs. Simple.
  But when Charly suffers a power cut, she's forced back into the real world of knock-off Morrisseys, disapproving mothers and, ultimately, a world she has to navigate alone.
  Lady Dealer is a mile-a-minute, one-person poem play by Martha Watson Allpress about forgiveness, the exhaustion of trying, and mistaking self-destruction for self-preservation.
  It premiered in Paines Plough's Roundabout during the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

  The present volume, entitled Later Sonnets, continues the writer's exploration of the classical form. If the earlier work drew upon the eighteenth century and the language of the law, here the hand is surer, the voice more seasoned, and the reflections more tempered by experience.
  
  The poems remain serious in their general cast, yet moments of wit and humanity are not absent. They range across the landscape of the human spirit, considering with candour its trials, renewals, and quiet revelations. Once again, the writer respectfully submits this collection to the discernment of his readers, whether they approach in sympathy, in judgement, or perhaps both.

  Come join me as we enter the scene of a remote military outpost where we'll experience the tumultuous relationship between two embittered souls as they confront the harsh realities of their disintegrating marriage. Oh how lives of others can be so easily dismantled by the whims of the few. 
  "I have lived a life of quiet desperation, clinging to the illusion of happiness. But now, as I stand on the precipice of oblivion, I see the truth with startling clarity. We are all prisoners of our own making, trapped in cages of our own design. And yet, even in the darkest of times, there is a flicker of light. A spark of hope that refuses to be extinguished. I may be flawed, imperfect, but I am still alive. And as long as there is life, there is the possibility of change."
