  • Field Work

    UEA Publishing Project Field Work

    Book SynopsisEdited and co-ordinated by Sarah Lowndes, Field Work is an enthralling collection of new nature writing from East Anglia gathered from library workshops and open submissions held across the region. The library workshops run by Lowndes at Cromer and Great Yarmouth libraries offered the opportunity to read and discuss exciting poetry and prose about the natural world written by women and people of colour, to challenge the conception of the genre as predominantly white and male. The resulting anthology presents a fresh new take on the nature writing genre, bringing intersectional considerations of race, class, gender and sexuality to bear on our relationship with the land. Field Work features a diverse range of responses from children, young people and adults who call the landscape of East Anglia their home, whether born and bred or those who have migrated to this land. The anthology has been designed imaginatively by Emily Benton, and is available as a keepsake and inspiration for all those living in, inspired by, or curious about, the wondrous flora and fauna of the English landscape. The anthology features an incredible range of writing styles, subject matter, and authors; including prose, poetry, short stories and life writing.

  • Poems and Short Stories: 25

    Windhorse Publications Poems and Short Stories: 25

    Book Synopsis`It is its spiritual background which gives to Sangharakshita's poetry its depth and emotional appeal. It rests on the inner parallelism between the most fundamental human emotions and the highest experiences on the path of liberation and enlightenment, the relationship between love and wisdom, the individual and the universal, the moods of Nature and the moods of the human heart.' - Lama Anagarika Govinda In his preface to the Complete Poems published in 1994 Sangharakshita wrote that his poems 'constitute a sort of spiritual autobiography, sketchy indeed, but perhaps revealing, or at least suggesting, aspects of my life that would not otherwise be known'. He wrote many more poems after that, and more from his early years have come to light. This volume contains all of them, offering a truly complete collection, and also includes six short stories, written over many years and some of them previously unpublished, also shedding new light on the imagination and perceptions of their author. The volume is prefaced by a foreword and two essays introducing the poems in different ways, and also contains edited versions of two talks Sangharakshita gave about specific poems, and a sequence of conversations about his poetry that were recorded towards the end of his life.

  • The Fate of Yaakov Maggid

    Istros Books The Fate of Yaakov Maggid

    Book SynopsisOnce again, the extraordinary storyteller, Ludovic Bruckstein, opens the door onto a lost world of Jewish history and lore in the central European Carpathian region, now parts of Hungary, Romania and Ukraine. Invoking the tales of a great maggid – a wandering storyteller within the East-European tradition of Hassidism - he weaves tales of wisdom and mystery which linger inside us long after the story has ended. Bruckstein's previous titles (The Trap, 2019 and With an Unopened Umbrella in the Pouring Rain, 2021) have gained him a growing audience of dedicated readers in the English-speaking world, where his work has been too-long absent. This edition comes complete with a fascinating glossary of terms and historical references complied by the translator.

    Book SynopsisA collection of short stories. In the title story, a child builds a snowman out of ice with her mum's friend Joyce and skirts round the edge of some adult truths. In 'Growing', a daughter visits her mother in the nursing home and tries to bond with her over flower seeds. In 'Double Dose', Patsy makes a Covid-y journey back to her hometown and touches on unpleasant memories of the past.Trade Review‘Perhaps I love this collection so much, because it is a book I feel. I feel what is present and I feel what is absent. I choose the word ‘prism’ to underline how the thematic hues spark and shift. You see life in sensory gleams.

It’s narrative as nourishment.’ – Paula Greene for Poetry Shelf.Table of ContentsWar Stories ; Hailman ; On Spinning ; Double Dose ; The Vilina Vlas Hotel ; Missing ; Cats and Dogs ; Where the river meets the sea ; Drive-by ; Growing.

    7 in stock

    Book Synopsis“You have to understand,” says the woman, “an incorcism is nothing like its counterpart. No bells and whistles, no drama. All it takes is willingness, which you already have in spades.”Strange stories about strange things for strange people. Tales of possession and obsession. Of destruction and restoration. Of the demons we hold inside us, and those we leave behind in others. An odd apocalypse freezes a supermarket on Mother’s Day, a vanished village holds an ancient curse, an abandoned ice cream van tears a street apart. Rival rainbow setters, the woman who sowed a crop of elephants in her garden, and what happens if you keep on turning the clocks back. Perhaps you had a demon then lost it. Do you miss it?Our time here is brief and so are these curious fables. But the smallest of splinters are the hardest to dig out. Come and be snagged. Come, be unsettled. To be strange is to be human.David Hartley’s tiny fictions are elusive and teasing and true. They’re like the fading echoes of dreams you struggle to remember when you wake up in the morning – the bits that you know didn’t quite make sense, and made you feel strange and a little unnerved, but you knew were important, so important, if only you could hold on to them forever.Robert Shearman

    Book SynopsisSet in Cornwall, coastal erosion and flooding take on a near mythical power as the short stories in this collection weave in and out of the recent past and near future, as lives and relationships ebb and flow with the tide. From one maritime tragedy to another, the community, and three generations of women from the same family, struggle with their over-close affinity for the sea.Trade ReviewI thoroughly enjoyed dipping my toes into this delightful book. Despite the themes of grief and tragedy it explores these are also magical, powerful, thought-provoking tales that also touch upon important modern concerns such as climate change. And there is just a touch of whimsy that I recognise from the ‘tall tales’ that have always permeated the Cornish coast. Elizabeth Dale, cornishbirdblog.com -- Elizabeth Dale

  • The Endless Bookcase What the Wind Saw: Short Stories from the Heart of Hertfordshire

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisWhat the Wind Saw is a collection of 25 short stories of the people, real and imagined, from a small tract of ancient land in the heart of Hertfordshire. The wind has always blown over these villages, fields, rivers, its towns and its city. It always will. We have the same worries, fears, hopes and dreams today as we have always had. We are connected to each other by our shared experiences, by the places that we live and by the paths that we tread. These are stories of friendship, power, love, grief and ambition inspired by the landscape and what is in it - John Bunyan's Cottage, Shaw's Corner, the annual Ayot St Lawrence art show, the Devil's Dyke, St Albans market, a walk in the woods, a walk across the fields.Trade Review"Zoe Jasko creates a wonderfully evocative atmosphere through these stories inspired by the history, folklore and landscape of the remarkable county of Hertfordshire. Turning points are explored through the personal, everyday lives of its residents past, present and future that we can all relate to." Emma Harper Curator, Welwyn -Hatfield Museum Service; "Beautifully written and very lyrical like the musician that you are. The writing made me feel safe and warm". Lucy Gravatt, Journalist and Communications Director; "These stories are extraordinary, each one a mini masterpiece, each competing to be a personal favourite. Each is somehow spiritual in its own way. The reader enters a field, turns a corner and watches a mini play, with different sets and from different periods. Beware the casual reader; the stories are deceptively simple. It is easy to access the stories at different levels and each is fulfilling. What I am trying to say at midnight is that I have never read a book quite like this one. The small area of England comes to life, is populated by those in the stories and no one can visit, seek out, those spots and not think of these stories and wonder if perhaps they were all true at some moment in time, two thousand years ago, 50 years ago, or at a moment which corresponds with no time as we measure it in conventional terms."

    Book SynopsisFrom the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lincoln in the Bardo, a darkly comic short story about the unintended consequences unleashed by our quest to tame the natural world—featuring gorgeous black-and-white illustrations by Chelsea Cardinal. Fox 8 has always been known as the daydreamer in his pack, the one his fellow foxes regard with a knowing snort and a roll of the eyes. That is, until he develops a unique skill: He teaches himself to speak “Yuman” by hiding in the bushes outside a house and listening to children’s bedtime stories. The power of language fuels his abundant curiosity about people—even after “danjer” arrives in the form of a new shopping mall that cuts off his food supply, sending Fox 8 on a harrowing quest to help save his pack. Told with his distinctive blend of humor and pathos, Fox 8 showcases the extraordinary imaginative talents of George Saunders, whom The New York Times called “the writer for our time.”
