  Annie's not really a fan of herself. How did she get a life like this? While her perfect sister poses in hipster hats, she has to take care of her sick mother. And she keeps mistaking hot men for her Dad.
  There must be more than this. The celebrities that fill her social media feeds are only separated by a screen, but that's as close as she'll ever get to someone like Kanye West. People think he's a God.
  But what if everyone thought she was someone else? Someone different. Someone better.
  Sam Steiner's Kanye the First is a dazzlingly funny and original drama about identity, guilt, contemporary culture and the second coming of Kanye West.
  It was premiered in September 2017 by HighTide Festival.

  Jonah and Otto (NHB Modern Plays)

  Robert Holman's Jonah and Otto is a humane, funny and ultimately haunting play that explores masculinity, identity and what it means to be English.
  Over the course of a single day, two men share their solitude and unfold their secrets. They disagree with each other about women, about lust and about guilt. They question the power of magic, of redemption and the price of freedom, each seeing himself more clearly through the eyes of the other.
  Jonah and Otto premiered in 2008 at the Royal Exchange, Manchester. This edition was published alongside its London premiere at the Park Theatre in 2014.
  'extraordinary... Robert Holman's achingly beautiful new play takes you into other worlds, but it is rooted firmly in this one... a recklessly courageous play about two men struggling to find the courage to live, love and to be the best possible version of themselves' - Guardian
  'a quiet power... Robert Holman's plays rumble and reverberate in the mind long afterwards' - The Times
  'astonishing... Brimming with emotional wonder, Jonah and Otto is an intricately layered creation that hums hypnotically' - Independent

  Intimate Letters - The Invisible...

  Intimate Letters comprises the seventh book of an ongoing long poem in prose called The Invisible World Is in Decline. Its title borrows from a string quartet by Leoš Jánaček, a profoundly emotional piece written late in the composer’s life when he had fallen in love with a younger woman. It also points towards the intimacy of letters themselves, the visible pieces that make up language. This collection begins with love poems, then moves to a section (“Wretched in This Alone”) dominated by loss. The “Invisible Ghazals” which follow take language and emotions more deeply into a sense of dispossession, a landscape of the heart characterized by feeling unmoored. “Desire,” the final poem, and the only piece in conventional poetic lines, attempts to rescue the heart from bleakness by proposing that passion does survive even the most difficult and demanding experiences, and “runs through our days like / music.”

  The Nightfields

  A new collection from a poet who has made "a body of work at once utterly lucid and breathtakingly urgent" (Louise Glück).Joanna Klink's fifth book begins with personal poems of loss--a tree ripped out by a windstorm, a friendship broken off after decades, the nearing death of parents. Other poems take on the cost of not loving fully, or are written from disbelief at the accumulation of losses and at the mercilessness of having, as one ages, to rule things out. There are elegies for friends, and a group of devotional poems. The Nightfields closes with "Night Sky," thirty metaphysical poems inspired by the artist James Turrell's Roden Crater, an extinct volcano in Arizona that Turrell has been transforming into an open-air observatory for the perception of time. The sequence unfolds as a series of revelations that begin in psychic fear and move gradually toward a sense of infinitude and connection.
