Love is the most special and powerful feeling in the world. But sometimes, love - especially when it is not returned - can become something else... something dangerous.
rock flight is a book-length poem that follows a personal and historical narrative to compose an understated yet powerful allegory of Palestine's occupation. The poem uses refrains of suffocation, rubble, and migratory bird patterns to address the realities of forced displacement, economic restrictions and surveillance technology that Palestinians face both within and outside Palestine. It depicts a restlessness brought about by dispossession, and a determination to find significance in fleeting objects and fragments. It looks to the literary form as an interactive experience, and the book as an object in flux, inviting the reader to embark on an exploration of space, while limited by the box-like confines of the page. Formally claustrophobic, the poem morphs into irony, declaring everything a box while refusing to exist within one. 'rock flight is relentlessly potent. Merging resistance and poetry, Hasib Hourani writes back—against the "suffocating state" and imperial forces. Be ready to be transformed by Hourani's diasporic anticolonial poetics.' — Don Mee Choi 'Here is a poetry of passion; a poetry of necessity; a poetry of survival, and a poetry-triumphant.' — Maxine Beneba ClarkeZum Buch
"All fire and surprise, sadness and forgiveness...I could never say enough about the beauty of this work." —Jericho Brown "Cameron's poems are wonderfully full, energetic, and ardent." —Vijay Seshadri "McGill skillfully navigates the mysteries of relationship, memory, and regret as the best poets do." —Dorianne Laux "It’s been a long time since I have heard the 'god of small thunder' echo so powerfully in a collection." —Campbell McGrath Cameron McGill’s debut collection of poetry, In the Night Field, spotlights the effects of memory: its startling artistry, varied discontents, and casual fallibility. These poems chart the complex relationship between mental health and place; the difficult paths home can be lonely and circuitous, the emotional coordinates we map along the way a reminder of those intimate regions that hold and haunt us. These can be isolating passages, but are just as often fertile: “I walk further each day toward the strange / austerity my heart makes of reason.” Between the attentive, persistent self and the longed-for, absent other arises a fragmented conversation, an exchange that’s in a constant state of arrival. As McGill shows us, memories are a corrective, carrying back to us occasions for instruction, reconciliation, or in those astonishing flashes of clarity, what again hopes to be loved.Zum Buch
Sally, a beautiful young pregnant woman, came to the hospital supposedly for pre-term labor pains but delivered a fully mature, healthy boy. Her face, smiling with relief after the stress of delivery, quickly changed to apprehension. “Doctor, what will you tell my husband and family? Can you please tell them that the baby is premature?” She asked. “How can I?” Dr. Thomas replied helplessly. “The baby is fully grown and mature, as anyone can see.” “You mean to say that there is nothing wrong with the child, Doctor?” Johnykutty, her husband, asked in dismay and anguish. “But we’ve been married for just seven months!” Her husband and his family go away, leaving Sally and the illegitimate child. What will be her future? What fate awaits the unwanted child? This book is an enchanting story of a young doctor couple who ventured into a remote, rural forested village to re-open a defunct hospital, their involvement in the mysteries and conflicts of their patients, the daunting challenges - both nonmedical and medical, the agony of failures, and the ecstasy of triumphs.Zum Buch

'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.Zum Buch
