How big is the universe? Are there dogs in space? What if your friend - or your granddad - was an alien? Join the poets in wondering in Watcher of the Skies, a sparkling collection of poems about the outermost possibilities of space, life and our imaginations. Fully illustrated and includes poem-writing prompts. Aimed at children aged 8+.
An anthology of poems about modern myths and legends, inspired by the Roman poet Ovid's Metamorphoses.
This is the sixth in the series of the Emma Press Picks, which are short, themed and illustrated poetry pamphlets. These are poems themed around minor characters from action movies.
The poets write with searing honesty about the incredible strength and capacity for self-sacrifice demanded by motherhood, writing as parents as well as in relation to their own parents. The darkest thoughts of exhausted mothers are sensitively portrayed, as poets expose the weight of responsibility behind the hallowed state of motherhood, and question the expectations society places on mothers. This book gives voice to universal but usually silenced anxieties, showing mothers questioning their ability to raise their children correctly and sometimes struggling to connect with the creatures they have created. Heart-breaking and uplifting in equal measure, this book is a stunning and varied portrait of modern motherhood.
This anthology reflects the scale of intensity within female friendships and captures the defining characteristics of this frequently-overlooked relationship: the intimate and the casual, the life sustaining and the life changing, as well as the tensions and the joys. Above all, this book celebrates the transformative power of friendship among women, considering the moments where friendships are 'made', the relationship between friendship and romantic love and friendship and rebellion, the role of culture - fashion, cinema, music, art - in forming friendships, and feelings towards friendships lost or regained.
