This anthology encompasses an impressive breadth of literatures, from the elegance of Elizabethan verse to Romantic introspections and the soaring cadence of the Victorian age. Within its pages lie multifaceted reflections on themes of resilience, dreams realized, and the empowerment found in the indomitable will. Each piece, meticulously selected, serves as a beacon of hope and a testament to the capacity for greatness within us all, with selections that range from contemplative musings to triumphant odes. The anthology brings together the voices of some of the English language's most revered poets. These poets, including both English and American luminaries, are united in their exploration of inspiration drawn from everyday experiences and lofty ideals alike. Their works, rooted in diverse literary traditions, reflect the transformative power of poetry to elevate and embolden.

    At the core of this debut collection is a question – what is worth holding onto?
Through poetic experiments that blend the academic and the artistic, Rhiya Pau queries complex characters and tender landscapes. Routes journeys from Ba's kitchen in Sonia Gardens to Independence hour in Delhi, across the pink shores of Nakuru, to meet a painter on Lee High Road.
Celebrating fifty years since her community arrived in the UK, Pau chronicles the migratory histories of her ancestors and simultaneously lays bare the conflicts of identity that arise from being a member of the East African-Indian diaspora. In this multilingual discourse exhibiting vast formal range, Pau wrestles with language, narrative and memory, daring to navigate their collective fallibilities to architect her own identity.
'[Routes]...holds up to the light the wisdom of the past, and asks what else is passed down along with it...a work of humane intelligence, formal experiment and linguistic verve' - Sarah Howe, Judge of Eric Gregory Awards 2022

    .Mrs. Warren's Profession is a play written by George Bernard Shaw in 1893, and first performed in London in 1902 but was banned after two performances because of the profession talked about. The play is about a former prostitute, now a madam (brothel proprietor), who attempts to come to terms with her disapproving daughter. It illustrates Shaw's belief that the act of prostitution was not caused by moral failure but by economic necessity. It also has a lot to say about the hypocrisy of English society that profited from many despised and illegal professions and used people in despicable ways but pretended to look down on them. This was probably why it was banned, not because of the 'profession' of Mrs. Warren, but because it exposed very highly placed people doing nasty things to make money
