Everything Everyday
Everything Everyday is a poetic journal of the year that charts winter through to autumn in a richly textured sequence of diary-poems, lyric fragments and a crown of sonnets. Each month’s entry weaves together mythic figures – Tahlequah the mourning orca, Brigid’s mountain dance, Sister Icarus’s fragile flight and Beira’s shore vigils – with the unfolding chronicle of contemporary grief and protest. Readers move from January’s frozen harbour and political flashpoints into spring’s ritual planting of ‘lemon-drop’ seeds, summer’s drum-driven rallies and smoky vigils, and autumn’s oil-slick swans and ash-borne snowdrops. The collection’s formal innovations mirror its thematic urgency: bracketed interjections pulse like heartbeats, dated stanzas resonate like journal entries, and the season-by-season structure creates a mythic ledger of solidarity and hope. Lavery’s work becomes both witness and archive—where personal confession and public ritual converge in an unflinching testament to collective mourning, unbroken resilience, and the ember of promise that refuses to cool. Each poem is an unflinching exploration of memory and identity in an era defined by both loss and possibility. Bold, uncompromising, and deeply resonant, Everything, Everyday invites you to confront the delicate art of living—and loving—in a world that is as beautiful as it is unpredictable.

Only a Little While Here
Winner of the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize • Winner of Colombia’s National Novel Award This prizewinning novel interweaves four animal odysseys in a gripping, adventurous meditation on migration and displacement in the inextricable human and natural worlds. In Only a Little While Here, award-winning author María Ospina evokes the gratification to be found through close, humble observation of nature. With characteristic precision and intensity, Ospina trains our attention on the lives of five creatures: a migratory songbird dazzled by city lights, an orphaned porcupine saved by kindness, two dogs grieving the loss of their human companions, and a determined beetle transported to a vast, unimaginable world. The surprising drama of their lives reveals the fragility and power of belonging, and what it means to create—or lose—a home. Along the way, our narrator models the attentiveness needed to mend the rift between humans and non-human creatures and celebrates animals’ often-overlooked status as witnesses of our shared world. Alive with eagle-eyed curiosity, Only a Little While Here is ecological fiction at its most soul stirring.
Crime and Punishment
HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics 'Do you understand, sir, do you understand what it means when you have absolutely nowhere to turn?' Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov – an impoverished student drop-out and amateur philosopher – callously murders a pawnbroker in the slums of St Petersburg. Pursued by the law and his own ravaged conscience, Dostoyevsky’s iconic anti-hero spirals into crisis as the noose tightens, and everything he thought he knew about morality and sin is corrupted by his hideous act of violence. In this psychological masterpiece of good and evil, Dostoyevsky questions what murder does to the soul and whether redemption is possible. One of the great works of world literature, Crime and Punishment is an epic of human nature, guilt and salvation.

Dope
'Absolutely loved it' - Damian Hughes, High Performance podcastInside the murky world of doping in sport, uncovering how the cheats keep one step ahead of the authorities and what drives them to do so. Some of the most iconic and revered athletes in history have been handed bans when at the pinnacle of their sports - from Lance Armstrong, Ben Johnson, and Marion Jones to Diego Maradona, Shane Warne and Jannick Sinner. And now with the emergence of the Enhanced Games, where steroids and peptides are not only allowed but encouraged, an athlete's performance is questioned more than ever. Dope examines the landscape of sport and doping in the modern era, from micro-dosing blood boosters to the rise of drug taking in amateur sport and AI's ability to create undetectable - and potentially dangerous - performance-enhancers. Author James Witts immerses himself in the underbelly of sport, interviewing doping athletes, anti-doping experts, scientists, ethicists, psychiatrists and psychologists to answer:- What products do the dopers use to boost performance?- What methods do the authorities use to catch the cheats?- How does WADA determine what's legal and illegal?- How does politics impact WADA's work?- What's the evidence these illegal performance-enhancers actually work?- Why are football's indiscretions glossed over while cycling and athletics are lambasted?- What products are used to mask their illegal actions? - Can we really trust that peak sporting performance is down to determination and talen? his is an eye-opening and enthralling account of modern-day sport - one which will change the way you view it forever.
