Against Gravity
Against Gravity: the title alludes to our struggle with mortality as we age and, by contrast, the pleasures of play, imagination, creativity. Robert Saxton’s latest poetry book is dedicated to a friend whose heart gave out on a Scottish mountain. But in counterpoint to the elegaic, it offers humour too, often with dark overtones. The subject matter is wide-ranging – from the late Queen to the pitfalls of indexing, from Nero’s theatre to trouser suits for modern brides, from a bat roost in a Portuguese library to the Hollywood Sign. The book concludes with a visit to Vita Sackvillle-West’s garden at Sissinghurst, exploring intergenerational friendship as well as Vita’s visionary genius and unconventional love life. Wherever his focus falls, Saxton shows accomplished craftsmanship and an eye for telling detail, with surprises on every page.

Little Vanities
'Wonderfully authentic, electrifying' Clare ChambersTwo couples. Twenty years. One unforgettable story.Dylan, Stevie and Ben have been inseparable since their days at Trinity, when life pulsed with possibility. A single glance can still summon their younger selves: dancing beneath flashing lights, salt on their skin after swims in Dublin Bay.Two decades later, their dreams have faltered. Dylan, once a rugby star, is stranded on the sofa, tended by his wife, Rachel. Across town, in their new build, Stevie and Ben's relationship has settled into an airless routine. Then, after countless auditions, Ben lands a role in Pinter's Betrayal.As rehearsals unfold, the play's shifting loyalties seep into reality, stirring old jealousies and awakening forbidden longings, as each must confront how far they are willing to go in pursuit of desire.Wry, sexy and deftly observed, Little Vanities is a novel about the perilous thrill of stepping outside the roles we've been given-and the distance between the lives we imagined and the ones we find ourselves living.'Messy, complicated, compelling' Emilie Pine, author of Ruth & Pen'A riveting tale of emotional infidelity' Aingeala Flannery, author of The Amusements'Scrupulous and elegant' Kathleen MacMahon, author of Nothing But Blue Sky'Fantastic at examining the tussles between people in relationships' The Times'Acutely observed, beautifully written' Joseph O'Connor, author of Star of the Sea'A natural writer' Anne Enright, author of The Wren, The Wren

Oldenland
'Discover the secret to thriving in old age' Telegraph'In front of me is an adventure with old age as my companion, my shadow and confederate, maybe my friend.'Old age is a country, and we need to learn to walk through it. And that's just what Roger Clough, former Professor of Social Care, lifelong hill walker, and current resident of 'Oldenland' spends his time doing. Where he used to study the terrain of ageing like a scientist, now he understands it as a farmer might, walking its contours every day from his retirement village in the Peak District, while still negotiating the physical peaks and troughs of the area. Whilst there are a lot of books that cover the topic of 'how to have a good death', there is little that offers us advice on the time period that comes before that. How do we learn to actually be old? How do we spend our later years in a meaningful way that makes sense of who we've been and who we are now? Not in blithely positive denial in the face of our physical and cognitive decline, or overtaken with regret of a life that's running down the clock, but empowered to not lose who we are; to say 'I am still me'. And, if we have not yet arrived at its borders, how can we better understand those who live there, and better prepare ourselves for a future when we will become citizens to? ritten over 25 years and innumerable journeys, Oldenland is a unique and moving companion to the experiences of old age, and how to make it count. 'Profound and reflective . . . a truly valuable addition to the conversation about ageing in our greying society' Country Squire'Courageous, beautiful and very moving' Jamie Jauncey, author of Don Roberto

Mer de Glace
In 2021, Malgorzata Lebda ran the entire length of the longest river in Poland, the Vistula, from its source in the Beskid Mountains to its mouth at the Baltic Sea – a distance of 1,113 kilometres. She set out to run as a poet, not as an athlete, to use the rhythms of her own body as a means of understanding and connecting to the rhythms of the river’s body of water, under threat of environmental ruin. Mer de Glace, which won the Szymborska Award, is the introduction to her remarkable journey. A profound meditation on the porosity, reactivity and receptivity of both the body and the natural world, the collection reveals their deep interdependence.

How the Democrats Lost America
#1 New Release in Elections on Amazon#1 New Release in Political Parties on AmazonWhen Donald Trump won the 2024 American Presidential Election, the nation—and world—was shocked. In this critical examination of the events leading up to and following the election, political advisor Scott Ferson goes straight to the source—the American people—to understand how this happened and where we go from here. In November 2024, the Democrats didn't just lose the election—they lost the voters themselves. In the years and months leading up to the election, a lot of average Joes—enough Joes to swing an election and tilt history’s trajectory—were left looking for confidence and answers in uncertain times. These were the voters who've never chosen a party, who work full-time or overtime just to make ends meet, and who simply want to be able to live the American dream that they were promised. A generation ago, these average Joes would have been a Democrat, by tradition or community or through union organizing. Now, these voters are lost to the Democrats, and, for those in disbelief over the 2024 election, the hard lesson is the Democrats never even tried to win them over. How the Democrats Lost America explains not only why Kamala Harris and the Democrats lost the 2024 election but the larger disconnect the party has with voters in general, particularly those who don’t hug both coasts or live in select big cities in between. Through thousands of interviews over the past eight years, Scott Ferson exposes a larger problem facing our democracy: A profound disconnect with the people. By listening to people and understanding their real concerns, Democrats can find the way forward and take the steps to reconnect the people with the American promise of democracy. Democrats have a choice. These everyday voters can be lost and forgotten, or lost and found.
Threads
The poems in Threads, Ruth O’Callaghan’s seventeenth collection of poetry, address both the personal and political. They are sometimes ironical and at others metaphorical, but they consistently engage the reader in contemplating the fact that ‘Ours are simply steps that have disturbed / dust others have left’.

Az álom
„Ebből a könyvből kiderül, hogyan vált hétszer is valóra az álmom. De azt is elmesélem, hányszor bizonyult elérhetetlennek számomra. A futball sok mindenben hasonlít az élet más területeihez: az ember a legtöbbször nem győz. Remélem, elég szerény vagyok ahhoz, hogy megértsem, időnként a vereségből lehet a legtöbbet tanulni. Amikor viszont az ember mindenkit legyőz, az az érzés semmihez sem hasonlítható.” Carlo Ancelotti mind az öt európai topligában nyert bajnoki címet, olyan csapatoknál dolgozott, mint az AC Milan, a Juventus, a Paris Saint-Germain, a Bayern München, a Chelsea és a Real Madrid. De nemcsak ez teszi őt különlegessé kortársai között, hanem az is, hogy minden rekordot megdöntött a Bajnokok Ligájában: hétszer emelhette a magasba a trófeát, kétszer játékosként, ötször pedig edzőként. Az álom című kötetből kiderül, miért rajong annyira Carlo a világ legértékesebb klubtrófeájáért, és az is, mi kell ahhoz, hogy valaki ennyire sikeres legyen a nemzetközi porondon. Gyermekkori álmáról, a nagy meccsekről, klasszis játékosokról és az egyes szezonok kulcspillanatairól egyaránt mesél az olasz mester, aki betekintést enged a napi munkába, és belülről mutatja meg nekünk a Bajnokok Ligája csodáját.

Vocal Break
A dazzlingly original reassessment of the power and plurality of women's singing voices by the critically acclaimed author of Art Monsters and Scaffolding
'It took me ten years to go from shy young girl to punk rocker, if I'd had this book I'd have got there much quicker' Viv Albertine
For millennia, women's raised voices have been heard as unruly, uncivilized, dangerous. Women singing were cast as sirens: mythical creatures who lured sailors to their death.
In Vocal Break, Lauren Elkin seamlessly blends memoir, feminist manifesto and cultural history to explore a plurality of female singing voices - and how women have used them to defy convention, genre, capitalism, racism and sexism. Drawing on her own experiences training as a young soprano in the 1990s, Elkin reflects on the way power and identity shape our voices, focusing on the women who most excited her when she was learning to sing.
A vocal break refers to the place where the voice shifts from lower to higher registers and this is a book about what kind of meanings, and sounds, can be made there. Immersing readers in an eclectic soundscape, from musicals and pop music to art punk, what follows is a full-throated tour of women's voices, including Édith Piaf, Maria Callas, Cyndi Lauper, Kathleen Hanna, Tori Amos, PJ Harvey, Beyoncé, FKA Twigs and Billie Eilish.
Reflecting on what makes women's singing so powerful - to the point where others feel the need to control or manipulate it - Vocal Break is a joyous call to arms, a siren call:
Girls to the front: NOW.
