Summary

Lang's latest collection of poetry is a cri de coeur on the injustices of contemporary life. Lang's bold, erudite language will empower and uplift readers: "Until all women are safe from violence, so that a woman can exist in any space without fear, we march!" Such pieces leap off the page and demand to be read aloud to release their crackling energy. Skeptics who deem protest-oriented verse to be ineffective or outmoded will struggle with most of Lang's writing, but for others, it will be a persuasive call to action. A forthright, energizing collection.  --Kirkus Reviews

    An irreverent and unsettling play that interrogates paranoia, ambiguity and innocence in our highly sexualised world.
Gethin has just finished his film course and reckons he's the next Scorsese. His mum is on at him to do her friend's wedding video - before the couple get divorced!
But Gethin is interested in a much more daring project - one that will get him into dangerously deep water, question his idealism and turn his life and that of his family upside down.
Stacey Gregg's play Perve was first staged at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in 2011.

    Shiva is a channeled poetry book about navigating the fires of personal transformation, so that you can step into who you were born to be.  
This poetry book is for those who are going through major life changes and challenges.  
Let yourself evolve 
In the sacred fire 
Dissolve in the mystery 
Let it take you higher 
To the highest realms 
Of infinite sight 
Shiva will awaken 
Your highest light 
So that you can transform 
And come into birth 
To help recreate 
Life on Earth 
Show the people 
How to come together 
By breaking the ties 
To their mortal tethers 
You will come to know 
What is really true 
When you can see the light 
That lies within you 
This channeled poetry book was inspired by the loss of my dad, facing death, and moving through the fires of transformation. 
If it’s time to step into who you came here to be, allow Shiva The Fire Of Transformation to activate your sacred fire!

    In the poem that opens her debut collection, Susan Okie recounts an evening in the anatomy lab. Here we witness the depths of her curiosity toward her subject's inner workings. When I tugged on the flexor digitorum tendons, / her fingers partly closed and her thumb /crooked in. I seemed to see the two of us / as if from outside, and could no longer / name the tendons. I felt my fingers / from inside her hand." What to some might feel like harrowing proximity, Okie delivers, in astonishing verse, with wonder and even intimacy. To be sure, Woman at the Crossing is the work of a seasoned practitioner.
