Sinopsis

The remarkable debut from Thomas Stewart.
In his debut collection, Real Boys, Thomas Stewart examines the death of his father and explores questions of grief, guilt, mental health, identity, sexuality and masculinity. As these poems unfold, a hallway of mirrors is created. Through the lens of father-son relationships, cinema, art and Welsh mythology are expanded and rethought. This collection grapples with what it means to be a father, a son and a self. Subverting the notions of gender, Stewart addresses both the damage of old stereotypes and the passage of generational trauma, questioning how we might change.
'A wonderful meditation on the language of grief, want, lust and hope' – Jenni Fagan
'A beautiful and wistful collection which wrangles with life's ample grief and heartache' – Andrés N. Ordorica
'These poems are a revelation. I took great comfort from Thomas Stewart's collection' – Lotte Jeffs

KURBAS – The Audio Drama is an immersive international audio drama exploring the legacy and artistic vision of Les Kurbas, one of the most radical innovators of 20th-century European theatre. Set during his imprisonment in a Soviet labor camp, the drama unfolds in the shadow of Kurbas’s approaching tragic fate while reflecting on broader questions of freedom, memory, and the role of art in times of political oppression. Blending historical research with poetic storytelling, KURBAS unfolds through powerful dialogues, rich sound design, and original music that functions as a narrative force, creating an experience that sits between audio drama, musical, and documentary. Recorded largely in Kyiv in 2025 under extraordinary circumstances, it carries the resonance of voices shaped by history, resilience, and artistic resistance. Performed by an international cast and created by a multidisciplinary creative team, KURBAS – The Audio Drama is a one-of-a-kind listening experience: cinematic, emotional, and deeply human. 
Written by Kateryna Onykiichuk, Directed and Produced by Jenny Gherpelli. Music: Vakthang Kantaria, Sound Design: Odhrán O'Brien. With Alina Fabri.

Everyone has another face they hide behind…

Steven Seidenberg

The nameless narrator of Steven Seidenberg's latest work, Coda, attempts to trace the origins of linguistic and perceptual differentiation—of experience through the cipher of the subject, broadly understood—by advancing the linguistic experiments of contemporary lyric and narrative forms, moving between extravagant prosody and obsessive disquisition to reconfigure the conceptual imperatives common to many throughlines in philosophy and theology. Continuing the focus on the structure of memory and the decadence of body he began in his book Anon, Seidenberg here describes the epistemological regress of desire, intention, knowledge, and discernment, coupling the language and concerns of authors as diverse as Spinoza, Kant, Hegel, and Wittgenstein with a raucous humor in the tradition of Rabelais, Beckett, Lispector, and Sterne. 
An unnamed narrator, possibly afloat, adrift, possibly asleep, or dreaming, or already dead, or as good as, being an exile, or a condemned fool on a ship of fools, takes the opportunity of this voyage of sorts, to try and make sense of their life and mental state. Through a dizzying, meandering syntax, and farcical flourish, the adventure takes us through philosophical events with dogs, how to tell one’s tale, plead one’s case, how to walk through doors, lose one’s limbs, if not one’s mind, how to make a liveable self in the world, while puffing out smokes of language to fight off the existential crisis at play: “I am waiting for something to wait for”. It might take a little while to adjust to this spinning language feast, adapted from bygone literary models, from Rabelais to Sterne, but once you’re in, you will find yourself unable to put down the addictive, comical and strangely urgent twists and turns of Seidenberg’s latest proposition. —Caroline Bergvall, author of Drift, Alisoun Sings, and Meddle English

An acclaimed writer in multiple genres as well as a journalist and academic, Karin Karakașlı has repeatedly turned to poetry to chart complex emotional geographies – both her own and those of her country, Turkey. Her highly cinematic poems are powered by music, metaphor and a fascination for the mechanics of language itself. Running through her work is a deeply held belief in the emancipatory potential of words. Following on from her 2019 chapbook History-Geography, this new selection brings together poems from Karakașlı's 15-year career, vividly translated into English by translator and writer Canan Marașligil working with British poet Sarah Howe.

"All the world’s a stage"—but are the men and women merely players, or actors in a heavenly drama?  In God on Stage, renowned author and professor Peter Kreeft explores fifteen great dramas, and within them, five great themes: life, death, suffering, religion, and damnation. From classics like Oedipus the King and Hamlet to modern plays like Robert Bolt’s A Man for All Seasons and Cormac McCarthy’s The Sunset Limited, Kreeft draws vivid lessons on the big questions we all ask ourselves.  Like the plays it takes up, God on Stage invites readers to smile and frown, ponder and fall in love, and sit back in awe and wonder—at art, God, and the art of God that is man.
