Sinopse

'You care a lot, that's nice. It shows your age.'
Jay's new. He's just started as a temp in NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. He arrives with little more than a fledgling desk plant and well-meaning plans to change the broken system. Angela's been working here for over thirty years and nothing seems to faze her – except Jay.
Exhausted and worn down by archaic protocol, Jay starts bending the rules in a desperate attempt to help their patients. But when professional boundaries are crossed and trust is shattered, he discovers the harsh reality of what's truly at stake.
Sophia Chetin-Leuner's play This Might Not Be It is a candid portrayal of human lives at the mercy of our crumbling NHS. The play was longlisted for the Verity Bargate Award and shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Playwriting. It was premiered at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2023, directed by Ed Madden and produced by Broccoli Arts and Jessie Anand Productions.

    Breathing in Broken Spaces 
    Heartbreak. Trauma. Loss. Healing. Rebirth. 
    Some wounds don’t just fade—they shape us. 
    Breathing in Broken Spaces is an unfiltered and deeply personal poetry collection that delves into the rawest corners of heartbreak, trauma, and survival. Through piercingly honest verses, Belinda Daou lays bare the loneliness of grief, the weight of past wounds, and the quiet, aching process of piecing oneself back together after being shattered. 
    This book is for those who have loved and lost, for the ones carrying silent battles within them, and for anyone searching for words that echo their unspoken pain. It is a safe space where emotions aren’t just expressed—but truly seen, understood, and honored. 
    This collection gives voice to the devastation of toxic love, the suffocation of manipulation, and the slow erosion of self-worth at the hands of the wrong person. It speaks to the ones who have stayed too long, who have fought for love that only broke them, and who are now learning to unlearn the lies they were told about themselves. 
    More than just poetry, Breathing in Broken Spaces is a reckoning with the past and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. It is breathtakingly raw, unapologetically vulnerable, and deeply real. It is the brutal honesty of suffering, the messy in-between of healing, and the quiet strength it takes to keep breathing, even when the air feels heavy. 
    This collection is not just about pain—it is about survival. About learning to breathe again through the cracks of brokenness. About reclaiming the parts of yourself you thought were lost forever. 
    For those who have been lost in the darkness, this book is a whisper: 
    You are not alone. You were never too much. You deserve to be whole.

    Palace of Waning explores longing for a sense of home. Through themes of place, loss, and self, images wander into uneasy complexities of truth where the search for home distorts the view of its presence everywhere. Readers are invited as far as space and as near as the sound of moving fabric. 
    Review: 
    In A Palace of Waning, Pamela Nocerino’s luminous new chapbook, the poet traces the shifting landscapes of home, self, loss, and place. Here, “Red neon blinks / like it celebrates the danger” of icy roads, even as we are reminded that “The sun doesn’t rise / We rotate to see it.” Nocerino invites us into a world where beauty and peril intertwine, and where perception itself becomes a kind of illumination. 
    –Leah Huete de Maines, Poet-in-Residence Emerita at Northern Kentucky University

    What does true compassion look like in the midst of war?
    
    The Wound-Dresser by Walt Whitman is one of the most tender and powerful poems ever written about the human cost of conflict. Drawn from Whitman's real-life experience as a volunteer nurse during the American Civil War, the poem offers a deeply personal account of caring for wounded soldiers amid pain, fear, and loss.
    
    Rather than focusing on battle or glory, Whitman turns his attention to quiet acts of mercy—washing wounds, holding hands, and offering comfort to the dying. His free-verse style gives voice to empathy, love, and the dignity of suffering humanity.
    
    This eBook presents the poem in a clear, accessible format, allowing readers to experience one of the most moving expressions of compassion in American literature.
    
    Inside this eBook, you'll encounter:
    
    A firsthand poetic response to the Civil War
    
    Themes of empathy, service, and human connection
    
    Whitman's revolutionary free-verse style
    
    A timeless meditation on suffering and care
    
    Frequently studied in literature and history courses, The Wound-Dresser remains essential reading for anyone interested in war poetry, caregiving, and the moral power of compassion.
    
    Witness the quiet heroism behind the front lines. Buy now and experience one of Walt Whitman's most heartfelt works.

    In You have no normal country to return to, Tom Sastry explores questions of national identity and 'the end of history'. A blistering, bleakly funny and timely second poetry collection, following his Seamus Heaney First Collection Prize shortlisted, A Man's House Catches Fire.
    By turns crisply satirical and questioning, You have no normal country toreturn to ranges across the legacies of Empire, postwar migration and the current crisis in English identity. Sastry's precise, brilliantly attuned poetry asks how the times we live in and the tales we tell about them affect us; how our emotional landscapes are shaped by national myths and the more personal stories we tell about ourselves. It is a book about illusion, and discovering, again and again, that what was once taken for granted was never really there; a guidebook for an age of "enchantments collapsing on themselves".
