  Read by the author, John Cooper Clarke.'Nothing short of dazzling' – Alex TurnerDr John Cooper Clarke's dazzling, scabrous voice has reverberated through pop culture for decades, his influence on generations of performance poets and musicians plain for all to see. In WHAT, the original 'People's Poet' comes storming out of the gate with an uproarious new collection, reminding us why he is one of Britain's most beloved writers and performers. James Brown, John F. Kennedy, Jesus Christ: nobody is safe from the punk rocker's acerbic pen – and that's just the first poem.Hot on the heels of The Luckiest Guy Alive and his sprawling, encyclopaediac memoir I Wanna Be Yours, the good Doctor returns with his most trenchant collection of poems yet. Vivid and alive, with a sensitivity only a writer with a life as varied and extraordinary as Cooper Clarke's could summon, WHAT is an exceptional collection from one of our foremost satirists.

  Although not always respected as serious poetry, folk songs and poems like the ones in Songs of the Cattle Trail and Cow Camp represent a long tradition of oral transmission of verse narrative, distinct from more formal and "scholarly" poetical compositions. The poems in this collection speak about love, honor, friendship, and the lives of cowboys. This collection was produced by musicologist and folklorist John A. Lomax , who did much to preserve traditional American songs. The poems in this production were mostly obtained from recitations by interviewees in the American west. John A. Lomax was a significant literary figure whose work has stood the test of time. This public domain edition preserves the original text in its entirety, making it accessible to modern readers and scholars alike. Poetry has always been the most concentrated and powerful form of literary expression. The verse collected in Songs Of The Cattle Trail And Cow Camp represents a high point of the poetic tradition, offering language of beauty and precision that speaks to the deepest levels of human experience.

  'I came here looking for the truth behind the disappearance. What I found was something stranger.' 
  Meles is a podcaster with a dying mother and a stalling career, and she's about to stumble into something unfathomable. A recluse, a disappearance, a mysterious folk song. This is a story that could change everything – but is it really her story to tell?
  Badgers is a shapeshifting, mercurial play: a folk tale about folk tales, an exploration of the art of letting go, and an enquiry into the ethics of true crime. Produced by Theatre Royal Plymouth in association with Bristol Old Vic, Malaika Kegode's play premiered at the Traverse Theatre as part of the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, directed by Jenny Davies and with music by Jakabol.
