Taylor Swift's defining breakout hit, 'Love Story', was written in twenty minutes on her bedroom floor and now is used for fan proposals at live shows that sell out stadiums and the adjacent car parks. In this book, Caitlin Robson writes her way through 11 albums and 18 years of Swift's lyrics, stories, controversies and re-recordings which set a precedent in the music industry to allow artists to demand ownership. There are bigger issues at play in Swift's lyrics; gender politics, mental health conversations, and the building of an enormous musical community while maintaining that letter-writing pen pal dynamic with fans. A fascinating biography of one of the most famous women in the world right now.

Meet Henrietta, 25-years-old, from a once-infamous family...At first glance, she appears to be your average young British person - hooked on the online world, struggling with identity issues, facing a housing crisis, and navigating a dangerous world of toxic authority. Except, she's also maybe a murderer with a love of pseudonyms, Roy Orbison, and different coloured wigs... and very probably a sociopath... and very definitely a genius-level gamer, hacker and holder of often provocative opinions, who's busily ripping off thousands of people with her devious video game.The book is written from her own perspective and introduces 'PidPat' a modern-day street language.

A family memoir that builds a bridge across the terrible divides of our times. It's a Jewish book, but not Just a Jewish book. It moves Jewish writing away from its customary setting of the Holocaust and Europe, transporting Jewish identity instead to Iraq, India, China and Singapore: places and cultures that most people (including Jews themselves) don't associate with Jewish identity. It shows Jews integrating with others, not divisive, not separate: not antagonistic. The issue of intermarriage is increasingly important for all racial groups and this book speaks beyond the Jewish community, in relation to how we treat strangers in the form of immigrants and other communities. Loving Strangers has already won the Hazel Rowley Prize (US, 2020) for the best proposal for a first-time biographer and was shortlisted for the Tony Lothian Prize (UK, 2019) for the best unpublished biography.

Climate Change is coming for us. Its impacts will be universal and will have profound effects upon human health.

Climate change is becoming increasingly personal, about you and me rather than about strangers in far off countries. This book is about how our climate is changing, the direct effect these changes will have on our well-being and the urgent choices we need to make

This unique interpretation of Christopher Smart's masterpiece begins with a biography which offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of Christopher Smart, an extraordinary poet who died in an insane asylum all but abandoned by family and friends. Convinced that the current names of the days of the week should be changed to words that represent the true God of the universe, Smart chose seven Greek letters which are references to Christ. Scholars and critics have attempted to explain these letters, but none have apprehended Smart's purpose which was "to preach the very gospel of Christ." Herein Strong explains the reason for and meaning of these chosen Greek letters and their relation to the whole.

In the work of grief, special harmonies in poetry open the soul to the transcendent joy of simply being.

Theology of the Broken invites the reader into a garden--a messy, sensual place of potential and despair--and into the Garden, where the myth of Adam and Eve is exploded and rewritten into a tale of separation and communion. The book opens with bulbs that have landed on the author's porch and expands into a hallucinatory chorus of flowers, interspersed with mythic poems upended from all ordinary perspective. In this garden the Fall is division: male from female, body from soul. The poems wander through a landscape alternately lush and desolate until Adam and Eve are united again, momentarily.

Moving through the puckered stone of Roman ruins in the present, poet Debasish Lahiri unearths rumpled vestments of the human heart buried there, making the ruins revenant.

These forgotten beings from beyond the millennial horizon ponder the second millennium. The light of these lives, effigies of breathing, made pale and frail by time, resonates Legion of Lost Letters: a light that is not yet loud enough to be heard.

In times of uncertainty we desperately crave something to bring comfort to our troubled hearts. Whether it's a song, art, a piece of music or an inspiring poem, we seek to find a temporary place of refuge against the turmoil of the times. This collection of poetry is not a panacea for the ills of modern society. It's not an escape, rather it aims to reflect with candidness the complex, sometimes contradictory, emotions of the human experience. Feelings of despair, hope, love, and anger can assail the mind at times and sometimes it's almost impossible to put those feelings into words. It's my hope that those who read the myriad of emotional shades and colours of my own personal experiences will find a comfort in knowing that we're not alone.
