Milk Wood Memoir
Milk Wood Memoir, the fourth collection by Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch, opens with a handful of family recollections of Dylan Thomas, including Samantha’s grandfather’s presence in the poet’s house on the night he was shot at in March 1945. Thomas’s wartime sojourn in New Quay in West Wales from 1944 to 1945 was one of the most important creative periods in his life. Many scholars have linked the small coastal town to the imagined Llareggub (buggerall) in which Thomas set his most famous work, Under Milk Wood. New Quay’s present-day poet-resident, Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch, takes up the baton of the guide who never made it into the final version of Thomas’s play, showing us around her hometown through the eyes of its inhabitants past and present. In a series of eco-elegies, she explores how the wood of Under Milk Wood is turning into a floating forest due to coastal erosion. The paths once walked by Dylan Thomas between his bungalow and the pubs of New Quay are slowly collapsing into the sea, taking with them both trees and houses. As the guide takes us along the path she points out moments and monuments, all the while relating various ‘hanes’ (pronounced ha-ness, a Welsh word for stories, gossip) relating to local characters, a sort of family lore handed down the generations. Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch takes us by the hand and shows us the joys and sadnesses, excitements and fears behind the doors of the town she believes is key to Under Milk Wood. ‘Wynne-Rhydderch’s poetry masters a variety of styles, is intelligent, sincere, and deeply human. How lucky we are to have a guide like her’ – Matthew Dickman

But in the dim, draughty corridors of Corrain House, something is very wrong. Despite their warm correspondence, her distant, melancholic husband does not seem to know her. She is plagued by ghost ships on the sea, spectres at the corner of her eye, by winding, grasping roots. Her only possible companion, the housekeeper Agnes Gunn, is by turns unnerving and alluring, and harbours uncanny secrets of her own. As the foundations crumble beneath her feet, Norah must uncover the truth about Corrain House, her husband, Agnes, and herself, if she is to find the freedom she has been chasing.
The EVOL Algorithm
THE EVOL ALGORITHM by K. M. MOKETHIS IS NOT A DYSTOPIA. IT'S A UTOPIA IN THE MAKING. Matargo and the other children live in paradise, under the watchful eye of their mechs. Until the day they Float. No one talks about what happens after you Float. Or what exactly the giant black sphere of nothingness above them is. Why would they? They've never known a day of fear or suspicion in their lives. Like lambs. Awaiting slaughter. Book One in The EVOL Trilogy. "EVOL is one of the most original, ingenious and intriguing science fiction stories that I have read for a while. In these days of rampant AI and all the attendant worries and alarms that this overwhelming gift or curse is bringing to all humanity, it is comforting and exciting to encounter a story where the developing relationship between an AI and a young human is at the tremulous core of the story."- David Fickling (Editor and publisher of Philip Pullman)
Conversaciones con pajaros
Una exploración de la comunicación con los pájaros y las lecciones que pueden ensenarnos• Discute técnicas específicas del habla de los pájaros y ofrece revelaciones sobre muchas especies• Revisa la larga tradición de la “aviterapia” a través de la historia y en la literatura y las artes• Explica cómo hablar con los pájaros a través de sus cantos restablece la paz, calma la ansiedad y mejora la saludDurante décadas, Alan Powers ha estudiado las vocalizaciones de los pájaros, desarrollando la notable habilidad de imitar sus cantos y lograr que respondan y hasta cambien de tono. A lo largo de sus anos de estudio, ha descubierto que las aves pueden ensenarnos importantes lecciones sobre el mundo y sobre nosotros mismos. Como explica Powers, al crear una comunidad entre especies nos acercamos a una red atemporal de interconexión con toda la vida pasada y presente, lo que Giordano Bruno, filósofo del Renacimiento, llamó en latín Uni-versus, el “Todo convertido en Uno”. Al compartir su experiencia en el aprendizaje del habla de los pájaros y sus amplias observaciones sobre las influencias poéticas, espirituales y sanadoras de sus cantos, Powers explora su antiguo lenguaje y la profundidad de su significado. Explica que, para nosotros, hablar con las aves es como entonar una canción, aunque sus trinos están llenos de urgencias y matices, ya sea que se expresen sobre predadores o sobre el clima. Detalla cómo empezó a descubrir el habla de los pájaros, escuchando uno solo cada verano, para aprender sus muchas vocalizaciones y variaciones. Al discutir técnicas específicas, comparte revelaciones sobre la comunicación de muchas especies, incluyendo el discurso complejo e inteligente de los cuervos, la profundidad emocional de las gavias, la mímica de los arrendajos azules y el bello canto del tordo de madera. Powers explora la metafísica involucrada en el lenguaje de los pájaros y los humanos, y revisa la larga tradición de la aviterapia a través de la historia, la literatura y las artes. Además, comparte la presencia de pájaros en los poemas de Shakespeare y Emily Dickinson y en canciones de amor de todo el mundo, y examina cómo escritores famosos—de la altura de Keats, Catulo, san Francisco de Asís y el historiador francés Jules Michelet—encontraron que hablar con aves mejoraba sus estados mentales. Asimismo, explica que hablar con el lenguaje canoro de los pájaros puede restablecer la paz, calmar la ansiedad y mejorar la salud.
