  Oscar Wilde

  Poems in Prose is a striking and evocative collection that reveals Oscar Wilde at his most lyrical, introspective, and symbolist. First published in 1894, these short prose pieces blur the boundary between poetry and narrative, offering richly textured meditations on beauty, love, sorrow, faith, and the human condition. Written in Wilde's unmistakable voice, the work stands as a unique and deeply personal expression of his artistic vision.
  
  Composed of brief, self-contained pieces, Poems in Prose draws inspiration from biblical parables, myth, and philosophical reflection. Each prose poem is crafted with musical language and vivid imagery, conveying emotion and meaning through symbolism rather than traditional plot. Themes of sacrifice, suffering, spiritual longing, and redemption recur throughout, reflecting Wilde's fascination with the cost of beauty and the complexities of moral experience.
  
  Unlike Wilde's more satirical or humorous works, this collection is solemn, contemplative, and intensely expressive. The prose is elegant and restrained, yet emotionally powerful, inviting readers to pause, reflect, and engage with its layered meanings. These pieces reward slow reading, offering insights that deepen with each return.
  
  Poems in Prose occupies a special place in Wilde's body of work, bridging his fairy tales and later, more introspective writings. It showcases his mastery of form and his willingness to experiment beyond conventional literary boundaries, anticipating modernist approaches to prose poetry.
  
  Ideal for readers of classic literature, poetry, and philosophical writing, Poems in Prose is a timeless exploration of inner life and artistic beauty. It is a book to be savored—one that reveals the quiet intensity and enduring depth of Oscar Wilde's genius.

  Byways, an anthology of stories and poems from across the UK and elsewhere, exploring the urban shortcuts, well-trodden meanders, ancient pathways, hillside and field paths. The public and the secret ways that take us away from the crowds and out of our vehicles. Mainly in English but including a handful of poems in Welsh (with translation), join us off the beaten track.
  Arachne Press has a track record (pun intended) of publishing what academics call psychogeography, but we call well-routed. We also have history with climate concern. We combine the two here, offering drama and solace from experiencing the world at the slow pace of a walk, whether the short cut to the chippy, or an all day hike in the hills.

  A Life in Too Many Margins -...

  A Life in Too Many Margins is a literary episodic tale featuring David, an autistic, chronically ill, and deeply exhausted queer individual. He's survived a few too many doctors with God complexes, and an education system that couldn’t accommodate a paper cut, let alone a brain like his, and now he’s trying to keep it together long enough to get out and figure out what a life outside of survival mode even looks like. 
  Between unpredictable joints, cruel relationships, creeping dysphoria, and backward institutions that treat disabled people like spreadsheet errors, David’s not sure how much longer he can keep pretending to be “fine.” In A Life in Too Many Margins, David finds unexpected connections along the way, through equally chaotic friends, a dungeon master who lets him play with varying gender options, and one particularly random German policeman on a sheep farm. This book captures what it means to grow up disabled and trans in a world that keeps trying to file you away.
