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

Paradise

Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri’s Paradise, the final part of The Divine Comedy, is a sublime journey through the celestial spheres of Heaven, guided by the idealized Beatrice, symbolizing divine love and theology. As Dante ascends through the nine heavens—Moon to the Empyrean—he encounters blessed souls, explores virtues, and contemplates divine mysteries, free will, and the nature of God. The poem culminates in a transcendent vision of the Holy Trinity, where human reason surrenders to divine grace. Blending poetic beauty, medieval cosmology, and profound spirituality, Paradise celebrates the soul’s ultimate fulfillment in God’s eternal light, offering a powerful vision of love, order, and salvation.

My dear DeAnne,
First of all, I didn’t have any ideas that you are a writer, and what a writer you are! Your works are unique, clever, humorous, spiritual, and so similar to events all women have experienced in their daily chaotic lives. We generally tend to make much ado about nothing just like the ladies in your books. Your descriptions of your ladies and what they do is priceless.
I began to feel like I was sitting in a beauty shop talking to ladies waiting to get their hair done. Your writing transports me into another world full of happy women full of comments, thoughts, and original ideas on a multitude of subjects.
I love your books, and everyone will love them.

Alls Well That Ends Well

William Shakespeare

Despite its optimistic title, Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well has often been considered a "problem play." Ostensibly a comedy, the play also has fairy tale elements, as it focuses on Helena, a virtuous orphan, who loves Bertram, the haughty son of her protectress, the Countess of Rousillon. When Bertram, desperate for adventure, leaves Rousillon to serve in the King's army, Helena pursues him.
