<p><b>Mary Jean Chan and Andrew McMillan's luminous anthology, <i>100 Queer Poems</i>, is a celebration of thrilling contemporary voices and visionary poets of the past. </b><b>Featuring Elizabeth Bishop, Langston Hughes, Ocean Vuong, Carol Ann Duffy, Kae Tempest and many more.</b><br/><br/>Encompassing both the flowering of queer poetry over the past few decades and the poets who came before and broke new ground, <i>100 Queer Poems</i> presents an electrifying range of writing from the twentieth century to the present day.<br/><br/>Questioning and redefining what we mean by a 'queer' poem, you'll find inside classics by Elizabeth Bishop, Langston Hughes, Wilfred Owen, Charlotte Mew and June Jordan, central contemporary figures such as Mark Doty, Jericho Brown, Carol Ann Duffy, Kei Miller, Kae Tempest, Natalie Diaz and Ocean Vuong, alongside thrilling new voices including Chen Chen, Richard Scott, Harry Josephine Giles, Verity Spott and Jay Bernard.<br/><br/>Curated by two widely acclaimed poets, Mary Jean Chan and Andrew McMillan, <i>100 Queer Poems</i> moves from childhood and adolescence to forging new homes and relationships with our chosen families, from urban life to the natural world, from explorations of the past to how we find and create our future selves. It deserves a place on the shelf of every reader keen to discover and rediscover how queer poets speak to one another across the generations.</p>

Conflicted Copy Bok
Sam Riviere is a past master of taking and exploiting 'found' content and process and transforming it into poetry that captivates and unsettles. Here, he harnesses anxiety about AI only to exploit it for his own extraordinary ends. In this case, Generative Pre-trained Transformer 2 (GPT-2), an open source neural network , is used to produce poems that, stripped of the usual authorial clutter, find themselves nonetheless cohering around a voice that speaks of the uncertainties, fears and desires of a world that is desperately, poignantly and recognisably human.

Up Late Bok
<p>Nick Laird's powerful new collection reflects on the strange and chaotic times we live in. Reeling in the face of collapsing systems and the banalities and distortions of modern life, the poet confronts age-old anxieties, questions of aloneness, friendship, illness and death, the push and pull of daily existence.<br/><br/>Laird is a poet capable of heading off in any and every direction, where layers of association transport us from a harbour in County Cork to the library steps in New York's Washington Square, from a face-off between Freud and Michelangelo's Moses to one between the poet and a squirrel in a Kilburn garden. And at the heart of the collection lies the title sequence 'Up Late', a profound meditation on a father's dying, and winner of the 2022 Forward Prize for Best Single Poem.<br/><br/>There is conflation and conflagration, rage and fire, neither of which are seen as necessarily destructive. But there is great tenderness, too, a fondness for what grows between the cracks, especially those glimpses into the unadulterated world of childhood, where everything is still at stake and infinite as 'the darkness under the cattle grid'.<br/><br/>'Up Late, passionate and angry as Hamlet, is formally brilliant, an exercise in control.' Martina Evans, Irish Times<br/><br/>'Laird's fifth collection glimmers with angsty maturity as it manoeuvres its way between introspection and elegy . . . Elsewhere, Laird cracks open the poetry of sensitivity to reveal a raw sense of politics and injustice "as the rich get richer and the poor get fucked".' Philip Terry, Guardian</p>

Bee Gees- Children Of The World Bok
<p><b>A Waterstones Book of the Year</b><br/><b>An <i>Uncut</i> Book of the Year</b><br/><br/><b>5/5 - <i>CLASSIC POP </i></b><br/><b>5/5 - <i>RECORD COLLECTOR</i></b><b><br/>4/5 - <i>TELEGRAPH</i></b><br/><b>4/5 - <i>MOJO </i></b><br/><br/>Everyone has their favourite era of the Bee Gees' career, but so much is still unclear about this celebrated but often misunderstood band. This book will provide the perfect route in, pulling together every fascinating strand to tell the story of these pioneering, melancholic masters of pop.<br/><br/>Uniquely, the Bee Gees' tale spans the entire modern pop era - they are the only group to have scored British top-ten singles in the '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s - and includes world-conquering disco successes like 'Stayin' Alive' and 'More Than a Woman', both from the soundtrack of hit film <i>Saturday Night Fever</i>.<br/><br/>But the Bee Gees' extraordinary career was one of highs and lows. From a vicious but temporary split in 1969 to several unreleased albums, disastrous TV and film appearances, and a demoralising cabaret season, the group weren't always revelling in the glow of million-selling albums, private jets and UNICEF concerts. Yet, even in the Gibbs' darkest times, their music was rarely out of the charts, as sung by the likes of Al Green, Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton and Diana Ross.<br/><br/>Award winning author Bob Stanley captures the human story at the heart of the Bee Gees in this lyrical and stylish read.</p>

Hope I Get Old Before I Die Bok
<p><b>From the author of <i>Abbey Road</i> comes the story of how enduring rock icons like Pink Floyd, Bruce Springsteen and many more have remained in the ever changing music game.</b><br/><br/>When Paul McCartney closed Live Aid in July 1985 we thought he was rock's Grand Old Man. He was forty-three years old.<br/><br/>As the forty years since have shown he - and many others of his generation - were just getting started.<br/><br/>This was the time when live performance took over from records. The big names of the 60s and 70s exploited the age of spectacle that Live Aid had ushered in to enjoy the longest lap of honour in the history of humanity, continuing to go strong long after everyone else had retired.<br/><br/>Hence this is a story without precedent, a story in which Elton John plays a royal funeral, Mick Jagger gets a knighthood, Bob Dylan picks up the Nobel Prize, the Beatles become, if anything, bigger than the Beatles and it's beginning to look as though all of the above will, thanks to the march of technology, be playing Las Vegas for ever.</p>

On Women Bok
<p><b><i>'</i>Forceful, sympathetic, exceedingly truthful, and capacious in their imagination of what a woman is or could be' <i>The New Yorker<br/><br/>On Women</i> brings together Susan Sontag's most fearless and incisive writing on women</b><br/><br/>Written during the height of second-wave feminism, Sontag's essays remain strikingly relevant to our contemporary conversations. At times powerfully in sync and at others powerfully at odds with them, they are always characteristically original in their examinations of the 'biological division of labour', the double-standard for ageing and the dynamics of women's power and powerlessness.<br/><br/>As Merve Emre writes in her introduction, <i>On Women </i>offers us 'the spectacle of a ferocious intellect setting itself to the task at hand: to articulate the politics and aesthetics of being a woman in the United States, the Americas and the world.'<br/><br/><b>'Sontag had iconic status as a writer and activist . . . Hers was a brilliant, glittering intelligence' <i>Sunday Times</i></b></p>
