  The Hot Glue Gun Chronicles is a winner of the 2023 Philosophy Media Group Publishing Competiton and the debut manuscript from poet & scholar Ashley Crooks-Allen. This collection of poetry explores themes of identity, healing, and belonging through the lens of an Afro-Latinx Queer identifying poet and scholar. 
  “The Hot Glue Gun Chronicles is a flamingassemblage of penetrating verse and poetic musicality. Crooks-Allen’s timely offering, in the tradition of Black queer poets like June Jordan and Pat Parker before them, does not shy away from the straight-up truth. In their words, we might very well locate the keys to our own internal freedom.” 
  - Darnell Moore, author of No Ashes in The Fire: Coming of Age Black and Free in America 
  "What an honor it has been to cultivate this manuscript and elevate the voice of Dr. Ashley Crooks-Allen. I published this book because I believe in its mission- to put together the broken and to create beauty from unexpected pieces. Ashley invites us to revisit subjects we may have fooled ourselves into thinking we'd moved on from- gently saying 'Aht-aht! There's more work to do here.'"

  "A searingly honest account … Nedum tells it like he played, with nothing left out." – Guy Mowbray, Match of the Day
  "A frank, thought-provoking and compelling insight into one of football's most articulate voices." – Rory Smith, New York Times chief soccer correspondent
  "Nedum Onuoha's autobiography is considerably more compelling than most of those by more decorated players." – When Saturday Comes
  ***
  Nedum Onuoha was not a typical footballer. Picked by the Manchester City Academy aged ten, he was determined to continue his education despite the lure of a career under the floodlights. Fiercely intelligent on and off the pitch, Onuoha developed into a talented defender and played his part in City's meteoric rise.
  In this characteristically forthright book, Onuoha reveals what goes on behind the scenes at top-tier clubs. Stuffed with insights into household names like Stuart Pearce, Sven-Göran Eriksson, Roberto Mancini and Harry Redknapp, this is football and its most famous figures as you've never seen them before.
  Kicking Back is also the story of one man's search for identity: as a footballer, as a black man in England and as an outsider in the US during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests. What is it like to receive horrific racist abuse while doing your job? And how has football failed the black community? Onuoha provides a damning assessment of the sport's authorities as he dives deep into a life spent on the pitch.

  Both a celebration and a lament for Ukraine, a moving personal memoir taking us from Katya's idyllic childhood with her siblings: holidays in Crimea and carefree days working the land at the Dacha; to the sickening impact of Putin's invasion and its effect on Katya, her friends and family - the anxiety, fear and heartache. The desperate attempts to make contact with friends and ensure loved ones are safe.  Throughout it all bestrides Babushka, Katya's 'favourite person on earth' still living in the family's apartment block in Kyiv.  Babushka learned fortitude at an early age when her own mother was taken by the Germans and she was rescued by a Jewish doctor whose identity was kept secret.  When she is not growing vegetables and making vats of borsch, she is reading the sexy bits from novels out loud to her granddaughter.  But in this last year she has turned her hand to a recipe of a different type - Molotov cocktails - in preparation for an attack on her apartment block. Combining prose, poetry, collage, maps and illustrations this is a truly immersive memoir – an authentic portrait of the impact of war.

  Jemima Atar first experienced the unfolding of her complex narrative when she began exploring her life with the help of her therapist. Throughout the turmoil that characterised facing up to the truth of painful childhood trauma, Jemima’s therapist was her steadfast anchor, providing safety and support. But when he suddenly had to terminate the sessions after almost two years, Jemima found herself thrown into the depths of unfamiliar, isolating, misunderstood Grief. 
  In this personal memoir, the author continues her narrative without her therapist, letting the Grief process take the reins. Grief and Her Narrative explores a particular form of loss that is not commonly addressed in psychotherapeutic fields or elsewhere, and candidly asks the reader to be involved in asking questions, many of which have no clear answers. Through an exploration of both the common and the unique features of Jemima’s grief, this authentic memoir offers connection to readers seeking to understand their own multifaceted experiences, and invites those in the field of psychotherapy to join this neglected discussion. 
  What began as a form of therapeutic self-expression and creative rebuilding, expanded into a valuable and sensitively written work which documents grief in all its forms. The book reaches out to anyone experiencing bereavement, hopelessness, uncertainty, trauma, or suffering of any sort, and to those who simply wish to gain insight into a personal journey of recovery.
