THE WAIT IS OVER! Launch of @iamnaomiwood 's beautiful latest poetry book🌊 LINK in Bio.

Why take a dying bee to an exhibition of flowers? Why do starlings do that?
Why do we gather together to laugh at ourselves?
In this poetry collection, spoken word performer and theatre maker Naomi Wood ponders these and more: “This is a quest to the edge of solitude, a free fall into the open mouth of the Other.”

An enchanting alchemist of words and their performative potential, Naomi Wood has previously been published by Backlash Press and in Mslexia, and she has toured the UK with her solo shows Gobbess and Monster, with previous shows at Edinburgh Fringe and @glastofest

“One can never untangle the performance from the printed poetry. Both are an exploration of looking and being seen, of the confronting nature of being known.” Naomi Wood

Book Feature
Dear Sondos by Sondos Al-Saqqa and DNL @dnlreads
@publishingcarcazan

Wars, genocide and tropes aim to erase and separate. Not for Davie and Sondos. Their unlikely connection transcends borders, politics, religion and nationalities with their nost powerful weapon: humanity. And a love of donuts. Their journey invites you as a guest, and offers a blueprint for a new world, challenging old narratives with a new song.

Thank you DNL

#breastcancer survivor Rose Drew wants to donate her share of the proceeds to a variety of breast cancer causes and individuals.

Help support this effort, her story as featured by @yorkshirecancerresearch , and this year's #breastcancerawareness🎀 month by buying a copy of her book at the LINK in the Bio.

SYNOPSIS

‘Ordinarily, I loathe the notion of "battling” cancer or "fighting" this disease. No darling. The fight will be against insurance, fear, crap doctors, funding, and time. Put on your Boudica Face and get in there.’ Rose Drew

What do you do when you discover you have breast cancer on your birthday just as you’re about to start a new job? Rose Drew knew what to do. Write. Laugh. Cry. Spread the word. Do it. Have the last word. Share.

Be as bemused as it takes to breathe again.

This poetry collection poetry cathartically charts Rose Drew’s personal experiences of the condition, its treatment, mastectomy and its impact on life, memory and unusual practicalities. With a fistful of humour, Rose Drew throws down the gauntlet to cancer itself. She’s not laughing at the experience, she’s breathing rhythmically through every line, offering a map to resilience and self-love.

FrankenTit is as empowering as it is heartrending, as hilarious as it is profound, as candid an ogle into the human soul at a time of life and death as any scan.

REVIEWS
“Frankentit is... necessary, funny, beautiful, heart breaking, and bloody wonderful. Please read this book, let it take root deeply, and revisit it whenever you need to be lifted into something extraordinary."
Fay Roberts
