Things To Read Before You Sleep

Tony William Aroya

This book is all about the simplicity of our ability as humans to simply be...at ease. Maybe you're on your way to work. Maybe you're soaking in a hot tub-with or without the bubbles. Maybe you're driving on a road trip, or, God forbid, stuck in traffic. Or you're the running sort, headphones or earbuds taking you to another plain of existence as you traverse the miles. Or, maybe, just maybe, you're sitting in silence and letting these words take you on an out-of-body experience. In any of those cases, "Things To Read Before You Sleep" is my first foray into that challenging minefield called poetry. This book gives life and character to both inanimate objects-such as a simple shoe-and scary subjects, like darkness. The metaphysical world of dreaming, and, of course, what would any book of poetry be without addressing that age-old, soul-encapsulating emotion called...love. It may be less than an hour long, but I hope it's a listening journey that takes you wherever it is you'd like to be and leaves you changed forever. I'm currently creating artwork for all of poems in this audiobook. Believe me, it's going to be a thing of beauty. Thank you.

Never Have I Ever

Deborah Frances-White

Jacq and Kas's boutique restaurant has gone bust, and telling their oldest friends Adaego and her rich husband Tobin that his investment is toast is only the start of the evening.
Cash, class, identity and infidelity are all on the menu. As the last of the expensive wine flows, a dangerous drinking game reveals long-hidden truths and provokes an unspeakable dare.
Never Have I Ever is an explosive, savagely funny play which brilliantly skewers the contradictions of contemporary society, and the shifting sands of power and sexual politics. It premiered at the Minerva Theatre, Chichester, in 2023, directed by Emma Butler and starring Alex Roach, Amit Shah, Greg Wise and Susan Wokoma.
Deborah Frances-White is a comedian, screenwriter and host of the global hit podcast The Guilty Feminist. This is her first play.

The Top 10 Poets – Died Under 30...

John Keats, Percy Bysshe...

The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
In this volume we gather some of those poets who perished before they reached the age of 30.  Whether by war, their own hand, accident or other cause their legacies are a bright reminder of just how talented their short lives were.
