My Body is a Meadow
'Urgent and beautiful, this book shows how our treatment of disability mirrors our treatment of nature. Essential reading' - Katherine May, author of Wintering'Enlightening, energetic, challenging and essential ... this book should be required reading for everyone' - Katriona O'Sullivan, author of Poor and Hungry Since childhood, Bethany Handley has always felt most at home out in the wilds of the Welsh countryside. This all changed when Bethany became a full-time wheelchair user in her twenties and suddenly found herself padlocked out of the landscapes she belonged to. Today, nearly one in four people are Disabled in the UK. Yet, public rights of way are blocked in 32,000 places across England and Wales. My Body is a Meadow writes into this troubling landscape, delivering a galvanising call for us to rethink how we live among nature and each other. Join Bethany as she wheels through the British countryside exploring ableism, climate justice and what nature means to her. On this journey we discover the feral boar of the Forest of Dean; how the metal and rubber of a wheelchair can become just as much a part of your body as skin and bone; why swifts rarely land and how maps tell a story of exclusion. Exploring how land ownership, privatised healthcare, biodiversity loss and social marginalisation intertwine, Bethany shows why we must learn from nature's model of shared survival - and urges us to work together to make it open for all. 'A passionate call for an inclusive countryside - nature for all and all for nature' - Jack Cornish, author of The Lost Paths'A change making book' - Sally Huband, author of Sea Bean'A stunning exploration of longing for freedom, finding a home in your body and walking your own path in life' - Pippa Stacey, author of How to Do Life with a Chronic Illness

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.

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.
