There is (still) love here, the compelling new collection of poetry by Dean Atta, is a personal and powerful exploration of relationships, love and loss, encompassing LGBTQ+ and Black history, Greek Cypriot heritage, pride and identity, dislocation and belonging. Atta's tender, precisely-crafted and generous poems seek consolation and affirmation. These are poems as an antidote for challenging times, whether facing prejudice or the challenges of the pandemic, experiencing grief or recovering from heartbreak. Here, we encounter blue feelings and homesickness, things lost in translation and the pressures of the many roles we play in life. We also find the recipes of home, gifts and giving, the togetherness of community and connection to help us to heal. There is still love here - and journeys towards forgiveness, acceptance, queer joy and the power to unapologetically be yourself and fully embrace who you are.Ver livro

What if your deepest longing belonged to someone who lived before you? Spanning continents and generations, Love is the Bridge is an epic tale of three love stories—one of forbidden desire, one of sacred surrender, and one of a soul divided across time. From New York’s boardrooms to Rumi’s Konya, from a Berlin haunted by memory to the vanished gardens of Shiraz and Kabul, Arian Nazrani’s journey begins as a search for truth. At the helm of a crumbling tech company, he finds himself unraveling—caught between the demands of a fading world and the stirrings of a deeper call. When he uncovers his uncle Masud’s lost diary—a poetic chronicle of heartbreak and mystical awakening—Arian is drawn into a world where time dissolves, and love transcends lifetimes. In the whirl of sacred rhythm, past and present collapse—and Arian glimpses a love that once lived through Masud, and now lives again through him. This is a story of longing. Of exile and return. Of love that survives death and distance. Because time is an illusion. And love is the bridge.Ver livro

Notes from a Shipwreck, the third collection of poetry by Jessica Mookherjee, is a richly detailed and illuminating voyage of dislocation and longing. By turns evocative, unsettling, and full of 'small acts of magic', Mookherjee simultaneously finds the past, present, and future in the tempestuous, lyrical tides that flow through her poems. Here, seafaring lore and shanties interweave with wreckage and survival, drawn by strong currents of history – where migration, colonialism, pandemics and climate change shape the course we are on. The sea is a territory of grief and transformation, alluring and dangerous, where safe harbours and landfall are not always certain. Mookherjee's enchanting, salt-sharp poetry encompasses the many journeys embarked on – whether seeking refuge, escape, or into exile – and consider not only the deep blue sea and its myriad mythologies, but to understand 'what makes a land and person,' – the keen human instinct to seek belonging.Ver livro
