‘To me, hard times are like hide-and-seek: where is the solution, where is the hope? We can never give up looking for these things because they are just waiting to be found.’Gidon Lev, a ninety-year-old Holocaust survivor, has lived an extraordinary life. At the age of six, he was imprisoned in the concentration camp of Theresienstadt. Liberated when he was ten, he lost at least twenty-six members of his family, including his father and grandfather. But Gidon’s life is extraordinary not only because he is one of the few living survivors remaining, but also because of his lessons learned over nearly a century. His enduring message is of hope and opportunity – to make things better.

His life is a lesson of how to do it, even in the face of astonishing adversity, and Let’s Make Things Better is the calling card of an indomitable spirit. ‘By sharing his inspiring life story, Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev reminds us that the human spirit is larger than even the most severe and unjust trauma. Through one of history’s darkest nights, he preserved his brightness and warmth’ – David Von Drehle, author of New York Times bestseller The Book of Charlie

The preoccupations of Sean O’Brien’s work have for many of us become newly pressing: the recurrence of history, the shadow of war, the precariousness of a peacetime that can no longer be taken for granted. The Bonfire Party, Forward Prize winner Sean O’Brien’s twelfth poetry collection, takes its title from Eric Ravilious’s 1930s painting, where some revellers watch the flames, while others feed them or run towards them, in a scene of ‘mythic Englishness’. In these poems, the long view afforded by experience results in a truer representation of our predicament and a regretful understanding of human culpability. Just as times and places flow together to create a shifting, at times visionary perspective, so too do the presences of those we have lost, ‘love and death consorting as they must’. In a central sequence – a departure for O’Brien – he writes into the rich imaginative climate of George Simenon’s Maigret novels. These poems, both ‘homage and transposition’, effect a poetic communion of sorts with the physical world and moral atmospheres encountered by the inscrutable detective and his creator. The working of the imagination itself has become O’Brien’s true subject, where the fact of the world and the imagined order of literature and art begin to merge.
