  Winner of the 2023 Aryamati Collection Competition.
  Through visceral and vulnerable poetry, Ricky Ray meditates on the pain and gratitude that arise from a keenly felt awareness of our fleeting existence. Recognizing his humanity as a facet of natural processes, Ricky measures the ache of living in a disabled body against the joy of \'being lived\' by the places he inhabits. As we accompany him and his soul dog, Addie, through the scenic woodlands of New England, the concrete jungle of Manhattan, and the swamps of the Deep South, the lines between humans, animals and nature begin to blur and move in concert. Shifting between forms both physical and elemental, we read of an existence lived not 'upon / but as one' with the Earth, \'whose being we are throughout and beyond our brief sojourn as human\'. At the heart of this collection is the transformative experience of Ricky's life with an old brown dog, which teaches that soul isn't merely something we possess—it's an animacy deeply shared.

  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.

His use of language, writing style, and verse structure reinvigorated English poetry. He is also noted for his critical essays, which often re-evaluated long-held cultural beliefs.

  Life has the capacity of great moments and attainment, of lives well-lived, both fulfilling for ourselves and those around us.  But for others life is arduous, there is no spark to ignite the curiosity, to explore a stability and a growth for their lives.   
  Indeed, their lives, in their own eyes, become almost meaningless, their sense of themselves subsumed under a myriad of problems, whether real or imagined. 
  Seismic events in their lives might crush them.  The loss of a loved one for instance.  Coping is difficult, support is hard to find, and isolation abounds.  We never really know the reason, or the motivation, but one final, dreadful way out is the solution. 
  In this volume our authors explore stories that help us understand and recognise a tragic circumstance.
