Lewis L: Small Boat

Small Boat

FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF&nbsp;SING BACKWARDS AND WEEP 'Expressionistic and visceral . . . exhilarating and unexpectedly funny'&nbsp;THE I PAPER Poetic, raw, hallucinogenic and darkly witty,&nbsp;Devil in a Coma&nbsp;charts Mark Lanegan's terrifying, mind-expanding experience of acute illness and the confrontation it forces with mortality itself. Struck down by Covid-19, drifting in and out of a coma, unable to walk and given little hope of survival, these diaries see Lanegan assaulted by nightmares, visions and regrets about an existence lived on the edge of chaos and disorder. In arresting prose and at times transcendent poetry,&nbsp;Devil in a Coma&nbsp;is one man's intimate reckoning with a lifetime spent cheating death.

Poems to Sink Your Teeth Into

Der Wein ist wohl so alt wie die Kulturgeschichte der Menschheit und gleichzeitig auch ein bedeutender Teil eben jener Kultur. Anekdoten und Mythen, die sich um das Thema Wein ranken, gaben die Anregung zu heiteren, skurrilen und besinnlichen Versen.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE TS ELIOT PRIZE 2025 SHORTLISTED FOR THE JHALAK PRIZE 2026 '(c) Codex' SHORTLISTED FOR THE FORWARD PRIZE FOR BEST SINGLE POEM LONGLISTED FOR THE GRIFFIN POETRY PRIZE 2026 'Profound, sheer originality... a tantalising jigsaw puzzle of a book' Tristram Fane-Saunders, Telegraph In The New Carthaginians, time - and with it the world - is out of joint. A hijacked plane lands at Entebbe International Airport in 1976, triggering the crisis that will lead to Idi Amin's Uganda becoming a pariah state and, within a few years, to the young Nick Makoha's flight from the country. A mysterious writer daubs poetic slogans on the walls of late-'70s New York City, signing them SAMO(c). Three characters who are also one - the Poet, a Black Icarus and a resurrected Jean-Michel Basquiat - journey through a time that is both our own and not, watching TV, discussing art and literature and tucking their wings into their jackets on the way to airport security. Concerned throughout with flight and falling, the sample and the loop, The New Carthaginians is a poetry collection of staggering originality: a work by an author at the height of his powers, in which the familiar Western canons of art, history and philosophy are prised apart and reassembled in a new configuration. Drawing on Basquiat's technique of the 'exploded' collage, our heroes' odyssey gathers the symbols of a new mythos, through which the othering of Black life might be undone and the stage set for some fresh emergence, some transfigured understanding of myth and life. 'Hold that note,' writes the poet. 'In this place you are no longer the chorus ... In any future, remember you are a New Carthaginian.' A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST SUMMER BOOK OF POETRY 2025 'In this book, Nick Makoha has found an otherworldly, visionary voice and diction that arrest you from the first page and never let you go.' Jason Allen-Paisant, Winner of the TS Eliot Prize

Bad Fiction

Those of us who identify as multi-cultural and exist in-between and across places, spaces, cultures and languages are in search of poetic means to understand and represent the experiences of being an insider-outsider. This volume responds to that challenge: taking Venice and the Veneto as a creative site, the author demonstrates how poetry focussed on hybrid, interstitial subjectivity can be mapped into this storied location. Using the structuring metaphor of the archipelago, the book exemplifies how the islands of the Venetian lagoon reflect the way that poetry - as individual works that coalesce to form a focussed collection - can be used to create a cartography of the self that is multiple but interconnected. Drawing upon scholarship around literary nomadism, flânerie, self-translation and cultural geography, the author shows how a personal relationship to a creative space opens a Third Space that challenges fixed ideas about belonging, alienation and nationality. In doing so, in-between-ness is revealed as a generative position from which to write and translate poetry.

A Poet’s Guide to Venice and the Veneto

A validating and prescriptive guide on how to break the bonds that tear us down and create the ones that build us up from the celebrated author of Welcome Home. Most of us continue to be bonded to the people who hurt us, waiting for them to give us closure, to see us as worthy of their change or remorse, and to apologize. True healing begins when you stop giving the one who broke you the pen that writes the story of how you heal. Instead, you decide to put your broken pieces back together with the healing threads of self-love and inner wisdom. We are bound to people in our romantic relationships and friendships, in our families and at work. And those bonds pull at us in ways that might make us feel stuck, dispensable, or unstable. But bonds with others can also make us feel valued, respected, and truly loved. The One Who Broke You Can't Heal You explores the seven types of bonds that hold us to people: healthy bonds, convenient bonds, transactional bonds, forced bonds, enabling bonds, toxic bonds, and trauma bonds. You can learn to recognize the bonds that weaken you and the ones that strengthen you. You can shine a light on these invisible threads and see which ones need to be released, which ones may need mending, and when it's time to weave new, healthier threads. In these pages, Najwa guides you to: * let go of the myth of closure and make peace with your past * break the patterns and beliefs that keep you bonded to pain and those who caused it * reclaim your power in all your relationships * plant the seeds for relationships rooted in depth, safety, and authenticity With practical actions and personal stories woven throughout, The One Who Broke You Can't Heal You is a soul-soothing journey to a life nourished by meaningful connections with others-and yourself.

Let Go of Toxic Bonds and Build Healthy Ones

The One Who Broke You Can't Heal You

An engrossing new biography of the man whose writings about 1930s Berlin made him famous. From the editor of Isherwood's diaries and letters.Christopher Isherwood rejected the life he was born to and set out to make a different one. Heir to an English estate, he flunked out of university, moved to Berlin, was driven through Europe by the Nazis, and circled the globe before finally settling in Hollywood. There he adopted a new religion and continued to form the friendships - including an astounding number of romantic and sexual ones, often with other celebrated artists - through which he discovered himself.Isherwood repeatedly fictionalised his friends and himself - from the detached 'Christopher Isherwood' of Goodbye to Berlin to George, the unapologetic middle-aged lover of men, in A Single Man, and the boldly out narrator of Christopher and His Kind. He was determined to portray his milieu appealingly to mainstream audiences in lucid, entertaining, often hilarious prose. Frankness about his sexuality, political beliefs and religion made him both a figurehead for the left and a target for the right. All the while, among the many public, constructed selves, an inmost self remained hidden.Using a wealth of unpublished material, Christopher Isherwood Inside Out reveals the drama and complexity of Isherwood's interior world. It tells how the traumas of his father's death in World War I and his failure to protect his German lover from the Nazis were healed by his life as a monk in the 1940s, enabling him to commit unflinchingly to a sexually open relationship in the 1950s, and to come out as a 'grand old man' of the gay rights movement in the 1970s.With this new biography, enriched by unlimited access to Isherwood's partner Don Bachardy, Katherine Bucknell shows how Christopher Isherwood achieved a uniquely inspiring personal life. He effected lasting change in our culture, through both his literary works and the way he lived.

Christopher Isherwood Inside Out

In this unique collection of essays, published writers offer an intimate view of how their work has been informed, shaped and transformed by their literary, political, philosophical or personal influences. Providing models of the critical commentaries that all students of creative writing must write, each essay from contemporary authors of fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, scripts and digital writing demonstrates how what writers write is determined by what they have read, and what they read is then determined by what they are writing. As writers reflect on their process of moving from sources of inspiration to a finished and original piece of writing, they reveal their anxieties, passions, discoveries and motivations, offering fascinating insights into the imagination's journey. Introductory chapters explore why writers reflect on their own work, and place this practice in wider contexts, offering theoretical frameworks for understanding process, influence, and inspiration. As illuminating for aspiring writers as it is for students reflecting on their research and process as part of writing courses, Creative Writing and the Critical Commentary will change the way writers talk about and engage with other texts.

'One of the best novels I've read this year from an unusually gifted writer' IRISH TIMES 'A wonderfully stylish writer with an unwavering eye' JOHN PATRICK McHUGH 'Perfectly calibrated . . . These characters spike off the page' A. K. BLAKEMORE How do you mourn someone you never really knew? Three siblings - Anna, Gemma and Matthew - will have to work that out quickly. Monday is the day of their gentle, but distant, father's funeral, and for the first time in a long while they are under one roof with their mother, imperious Yvonne, awaiting the arrival of their aunt Amy, an award-winning poet. Yet, as the funeral looms, their everyday concerns refuse to diminish: will newly sex-obsessed Gemma work out what she wants from life, beyond her mother's expectations? Can Anna maintain the fine balance between desire and nonchalance with her not-quite-exclusive boyfriend back in London? Will Amy's past explode the relationships of the present? And, crucially, will Yvonne pull off her grand, post-funeral family dinner, the solution to what she fears may be an unsolvable problem? Told from five perspectives, into the wreck worries at the knotty complexities of one family's bonds, written with Susannah Dickey's trademark empathy and wit.
