  A despot has come to power. The population is listless, submissive and scared.
  But beneath every violation of civil autonomy, there are real human beings; behind every act of resistance, there is an individual willing to risk everything. And these people aren't heroic or remarkable – they're just like us.
  Through the lives of bureaucrats, soldiers, ornithologists and tour guides, No Particular Order charts the fate of a single society, asking at every step of the way: is it empathy, or power, that endures?
  Joel Tan's startling and apocalyptic play No Particular Order was shortlisted for the Theatre503 International Playwriting Award, and opened at Theatre503, London, in May 2022, directed by Josh Roche.

  The captain of the Titanic went down with his ship on 15 April, 1912. But thoughts have power, and those who endure in the stories of the living are said to continue to roam the world after their deaths. And so the captain wanders in search of the things he tried to find in life, and discovers his destiny intimately entwined with a painter who shares the same fate, not knowing that their paths had crossed a long time ago. 
   
  The Impermanence of Lilies is a melancholic tribute to the nature of life and a yearning for love, in a story that reaches across lifetimes, borders, and the space between two hearts. 
   
   
  "A poetic, poignant love letter to life. Daniel Yeo has important things to tell us about the painful beauty of impermanence, and he tells them with a tender lyricism." 
  -Melissa de Villiers, author of The Chameleon House 
   
  “A wistful travel narrative by the RMS Titanic Captain that dives into preternatural waters, flowing into surprising and surrealist tributaries of reflections on death, memory, identity, friendship, and unwaveringly, love.” 
  -Cyril Wong, poet and fictionist

  Diary of an Old Soul - Annotated...

  "Be thou the well by which I lie and rest;
  
  Be thou my tree of life, my garden ground;
  
  Be thou my home, my fire, my chamber blest,
  
  My book of wisdom, loved of all the best;
  
  Oh, be my friend, each day still newer found,
  
  As the eternal days and nights go round!
  
  Nay, nay—thou art my God, in whom all loves are bound!"
  In 1880, the prolific author George MacDonald self-published a long poem in book form as a gift for his friends. He called it, in full, A Book of Strife in the Form of the Diary of an Old Soul. It contained a new seven-line stanza for each day of the calendar year, written as prayers expressing MacDonald's longings, struggles, and joys in everyday life.
  The Diary was originally printed with a blank page facing every page of poetry so that readers could supplement MacDonald's diary with their own. This feature in particular, along with the spiritual wisdom and literary artistry of the text itself, was beloved by C. S. Lewis, who gave a copy of the book to his future wife, Joy Davidman, as a Christmas gift in 1952.
  Now in this deluxe edition, MacDonald's classic devotional resource is again available with the blank pages he envisioned alongside the complete text. With a new introduction and explanatory notes by historian Timothy Larsen, the beloved writer's prayers find new life for enthusiasts and first-time readers alike.
  
  - Complete text of MacDonald's classic work—one poem for each day of the year
  - Thoughtful layout with a blank page for journaling opposite each poem
  - Introduction and annotations by historian Timothy Larsen
  - Deluxe features including cloth binding and bookmark ribbon
