  'I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
  And what I assume you shall assume,
  For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.'
  
  Originally self-published in 1855, Leaves of Grass is Walt Whitman's bold, life-affirming poetic epic that still permeates American popular culture to this day.
  
  A groundbreaking collection of poetry that underwent several additions and alterations throughout Whitman's lifetime, Leaves of Grass is an unapologetic celebration of nature, the body and the interconnectedness of life itself. Including the iconic poems 'Song of Myself', 'I Sing the Body Electric' and 'Song of the Open World', Whitman's free verse exalts the beauty of the self and the natural world, creating a sweeping, spiritual and uniquely American voice that embraces the human experience for all it's worth.
  Walt Whitman (1819 – 1892) was an American poet, journalist and novelist. He is regarded as one of the most influential writers in American literature, famed for his free verse, and the inclusion of both transcendentalism and realism in his works. Although his poetry was controversial at the time of writing, today he remains widely admired and studied.

  The Flame of Her Will is an erasure of the Malleus Maleficarum, a text long used to justify witch-hunts. The poems in this collection invert and subvert the original text, paring away the misogyny and hatred until what is left is a lost woman's voice, challenging a history that requires her silence.

  MINSTREL BOY: Picasso of Song Part 2 
  This book is about is one of the major cultural figures of the modern age, combining a reverence for the traditions of many forms of American music with a distinctly postmodern sensibility. It is no exaggeration to state that he has revolutionised the art of poetic songwriting. He is a recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature, the Pulitzer Prize and numerous other awards, as well as being arguably the most influential single artist in the history of rock music.  
  This book is the second volume of Chris Gregory’s Picasso of Song, a highly comprehensive ‘trilogy in reverse’ which takes ‘deep dives’ into all of the songs, while exploring the many ways in which he has used live performance to expand and deepen the effects of his art. Following on from the acclaimed Determined to Stand which covered his later years, Minstrel Boy focuses on the many artistic and personal metamorphoses he went through between 1967 and 1990 - what might be called his ‘years of struggle’. Dylan could easily have rested on the laurels of his early fame but he refused to be categorised or ‘boxed in’ by the intense personal pressures that were placed on him. Instead, he continued his restless quest to find new ways to present his songs to fans and followers, knowing that they would hang onto every word he said or sang.

  Whales and Whales: Baleas e Baleas

  The first English translation of one of the most pivotal collections in contemporary Galician poetry, Whales and Whales navigates the urgent, playful, shapeshifting journey of a young woman affirming her place in the world. Caught between a father toiling far away in the icy waters of the Atlantic, and a mother who works in a canning factory, Luisa Castro's 'daughter of the sea' casts her voice from her home on the North Galician coast. Throwing the romantic clichés of love, labour, girlhood and rural living overboard, Castro's subtle sleight-of-hand — fluidly sung into English by Keith Payne — brings the innocent, irreverent desires of her emboldened protagonist to life. Disarmingly vulnerable and intensely liberating, these poems reveal the dreams and awakenings of a young girl becoming a woman in a society yet to learn how to accommodate her.

  George de Clare thought moving to Manhattan would be an escape. Instead, it's become another performance. 
  Between failed relationships, awkward hookups, and the exhausting work of being "too British" for Americans and "not queer enough" for anyone, George is unravelling. A disastrous trip to Los Angeles with his boyfriend Charlie ends with George fleeing back to New York—alone, broke, and wondering if his queerness is a burden he'll carry forever. 
  But his best friend Jon sees it differently. What if being queer isn't the problem—it's the solution? 
  As George rebuilds his life, he learns to stop running from himself. He pitches his app to former hookups, recruits the influencer he once dismissed, and returns to the water that reminds him who he was before the chaos. From Brooklyn breakups to Pelham rowing clubs, George discovers that his identity isn't something to overcome—it's the thread connecting him to everyone who matters. 
  Too British, Not Queer Enough is a sharp, funny, achingly honest story about expat life, queer community, and learning that the parts of yourself you've been hiding might be exactly what sets you free. 
  Perfect for readers who loved Red, White & Royal Blue, Boyfriend Material, and David Sedaris's essays on cultural dislocation.
