  Read by the author, Luke Kennard‘Kennard’s distinctive voice – surreal, funny, anxious, always overthinking, and cringingly self-deprecating – has made him one of the most widely liked and imitated British poets’ – Tristram Fane Saunders, TLSNone of the Old Testament prophets were especially happy or confident in their calling, but Jonah was the only one who rejected it outright, disobeying direct instruction from God and literally running away. In The Book of Jonah, Luke Kennard transforms the unique and awkward position Jonah’s story occupies in scripture – part dream, part joke, part provocation – into a madcap picaresque which marries the sacred and the absurd.Though Jonah’s encounter with the whale is most commonly interpreted as the story of a reluctant prophet being punished by his maker, Kennard’s Jonah is more wily business traveller than seer. Taking his instruction instead from non-governmental organizations, arts development agencies and public-relations gurus, this Jonah keeps relentlessly busy, accepting any assignment that will take him further away from Nineveh and drown out the word of God in his ears. On his travels he meets errant writers, fixers, artists and consultants, but nobody who can give him a sense of what his work might be beyond a five-star capitalist purgatory in a series of exotic locations. What would it mean to be a prophet – or even a false prophet – in this milieu?Taking on the decimation of funding for the arts, the emptiness of the hero’s journey and a literary culture regarded by wider society with cynicism, ignorance and apathy, The Book of Jonah is a blistering poetry collection from the Forward Prize-winning author of Notes on the Sonnets.

  'You might say that my life is perfect.'
  Ivy has life sorted; she's got a flat, a boyfriend and she knows exactly where it's all headed. Except there is this thing that she tries not to think about. The thing she left in her childhood bedroom.
  Ash is having the time of her life. Fresh from leaving a bad relationship, she's got no idea what's next. But there's something about her new flat. The wallpaper pulses and sometimes it sounds like a heartbeat.
  Two women. A chance meeting. Giddy kisses they never should have shared. Eleanor Tindall's play Tender is the story of two people who find each other without even knowing they were looking. It was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Emily Aboud and produced by Broccoli Arts and Jessie Anand Productions. It was revived at the Bush Theatre in 2026.

  The Council of Masters, Echoes of a Conclave is not a book you simply read – it is a threshold you cross. Every page breathes with the resonance of silence, where unseen masters wait to remind you of truths long hidden. Their voices rise through earth and stone, fire and water, leading you deeper into the mysteries of your own soul.
  
  Here you will discover that the body is not a burden but a temple, that every vibration is a note in the great symphony of creation, that stones themselves remember, and that love burns as an eternal fire within the heart. Each chapter unfolds as a revelation, a mirror in which the masters appear – not as distant beings, but as reflections of your own essence.
  
  Written in a voice at once mystical and timeless, this book calls both to the mind and to the marrow of the spirit. It does not merely inform; it transforms.
  
  At the final threshold, two doors await, one opens to the world, one to eternity. Yet perhaps they are not two at all, but a single mystery wearing many faces, inviting you to step across and remember who you have always been.
