  The Flame of Her Will

  The Flame of Her Will is an erasure of the Malleus Maleficarum, a text long used to justify witch-hunts. The poems in this collection invert and subvert the original text, paring away the misogyny and hatred until what is left is a lost woman's voice, challenging a history that requires her silence.

  "Be thou the well by which I lie and rest;
  
  Be thou my tree of life, my garden ground;
  
  Be thou my home, my fire, my chamber blest,
  
  My book of wisdom, loved of all the best;
  
  Oh, be my friend, each day still newer found,
  
  As the eternal days and nights go round!
  
  Nay, nay—thou art my God, in whom all loves are bound!"
  In 1880, the prolific author George MacDonald self-published a long poem in book form as a gift for his friends. He called it, in full, A Book of Strife in the Form of the Diary of an Old Soul. It contained a new seven-line stanza for each day of the calendar year, written as prayers expressing MacDonald's longings, struggles, and joys in everyday life.
  The Diary was originally printed with a blank page facing every page of poetry so that readers could supplement MacDonald's diary with their own. This feature in particular, along with the spiritual wisdom and literary artistry of the text itself, was beloved by C. S. Lewis, who gave a copy of the book to his future wife, Joy Davidman, as a Christmas gift in 1952.
  Now in this deluxe edition, MacDonald's classic devotional resource is again available with the blank pages he envisioned alongside the complete text. With a new introduction and explanatory notes by historian Timothy Larsen, the beloved writer's prayers find new life for enthusiasts and first-time readers alike.
  
  - Complete text of MacDonald's classic work—one poem for each day of the year
  - Thoughtful layout with a blank page for journaling opposite each poem
  - Introduction and annotations by historian Timothy Larsen
  - Deluxe features including cloth binding and bookmark ribbon

  No Sweet Without Brine - Poems

  Cynthia Manick

  Cynthia Manick’s poetry collection personifies love of self and culture through fresh observations and bitter truths voiced with breathtaking lyricism. 
  No Sweet Without Brine is both a soulful and celebratory collection that summons sticky sweet memories with an acrid aftertaste of deep thought. Satisfying moments are captured in odes to Idris Elba’s dulcet tones on a meditation app and the satisfaction of half-priced Entenmann’s poundcake; in childlike observations of parental Black love, the coveted female form on Jet Magazine covers, and the desire for Zamunda to be a real place full of Black joy. The sour taps into an analysis of reclusiveness, silencing catcalls from men on the street, and detailed recipes and advice to the Black girls forced to endow themselves with armor against the world. 
  Cynthia Manick’s latest is a playlist of everyday life, introverted thoughts, familial bonds, and social commentary. In piercing language, she traces the circle of life for a narrator who dares to exist between youthful remembrances and adulthood realities. Each poem in No Sweet Without Brine is a reminder that a hint of sorrow makes the celebration and recognition of the glory of Blackness in all ways, and through all people, that much sweeter. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

But on a contested piece of land near their village of Beit al-Qadir, Reem and Sayeed are about to go dogging. Don't worry, you're allowed to laugh.
  Sami Ibrahim's play two Palestinians go dogging uses the lens of humour to explore how the everyday becomes political and the political becomes everyday in a conflict zone.
