The Emma Press This House
Book SynopsisRehema Njambi unpacks identity, faith, womanhood and – above all – agency, in poems partly inspired by conversations with the Black, mostly African, women around her. Imbued with quiet resistance to patriarchal societies, Njambi's debut collection is an ode to the women who have raised her, and their strength and their ability to hold, sustain, and be rooted in their faith. The poems resound with their idea of home, and belonging they wish to pass on to their daughters.GHOSTS IN THIS HOUSEThere were footsteps in the dark all night,almost every night, and we were scared — but we didn’t say a thing.She called us to prayer in the morning, every morning.With our small hands and smaller faithwe asked the Lord for protection —but He didn’t say a thing.

Prototype Publishing Ltd. Home
Book SynopsisHome, the latest collection from writer Emily Critchley, is part experimental confession, part elegiac plea. It is an exploration of the damage done by, in and to many different manifestations of ‘home’, with poetry about child abuse, wrongful imprisonment, #MeToo, borders, Brexit, ‘our lost biophilia’ and global warming, among other issues. It is also an attempt to work through the pieces of a broken family, a broken society and a broken planet, with whatever limited tools the poet can summon. Whatever shards of hope may be picked out of the wreckage are in the understanding that we must be capable of doing more than we think – as individuals and collectively – to write a different future for ourselves and those with whom we share, indeed create, ‘home’. The collection dreams of a new ‘binding ground’ – something stabler beneath all our feet, and that a turning point, a ‘being otherwise’ may be under way.

Renard Press Ltd Fridge
Book SynopsisAlice hasn’t been home for a while – for seven years, in fact. But when her little sister Lo tries to take her own life, she has to return to the life she left behind. The change of scenery from London to Norfolk proves quite the culture shock, however, and Alice has to confront what she left behind all those years ago. The sisters’ relationship hasn’t evolved in Alice’s absence, and when she steps through the door she’s plunged back into the same world she escaped from. Set against Norfolk’s bleak landscapes, but masquerading as childhood nostalgia, Fridge is an all-too-familiar exploration of the broken promises of youth, and a bitter exposition of a generation left behind.Trade Review'Every word of this script, from stage directions to dialogue, does so much heavy lifting, so that, for a slim volume, the emotional resonance is huge. I am very grateful to have had the chance to discover this talented playwright.' (Ellie Hawkes) 'I would highly recommend you pick up this delightful jewel of a play… an intricate, highly plotted story that twists and turns, leaving you feeling unsettled and yet strangely calm.' (Zoe Radley) 'This play is proof that you don’t need much to make a great story: 3 characters and 1 fridge.' (Anne Galmiche-Johnson) 'Zadow offers a powerful and thought-provoking look at the intricacies of memory, nostalgia and the tribulations of early adulthood.' (James Bell, A Younger Theatre)

The men and women there shared their property, lived as equals, and dedicated themselves to the study of mathematics and the mysteries of the universe. Ever since, humans have been dreaming up better ways to organize how we live together, pool our resources, raise our children, and determine who's part of our families. Some of these experiments burned brightly for only a brief while, but others carry on today: from the Danish cohousing communities that share chores and deepen neighborly bonds, to matriarchal Colo

Book SynopsisTrade Review"Memory makes family, and vice versa – this is the intriguing insight unfolded in this unusual book. Grounded in a longstanding collaboration, Carola Lentz and Isidore Lobnibe trace the practices of remembering, forgetting and silencing through which their vibrant, trans-national Dagara family mediates its past. A well-crafted, sparkling account that unravels not only how colonialism and conversion to Catholicism shaped the lives and relations of its ancestral members, but also how the family organizes belonging and togetherness in our time."—Birgit Meyer, Utrecht University"Imagining Futures makes an extremely important contribution to scholarship in a range of fields, particularly Anthropology and African Studies. It expertly demonstrates how family relationships have been integral to forging pathways of survival and, for a few, accumulation in Northern Ghana. But they also provide a subtle understanding of how the definitions of 'family' have shifted, providing perspicacious analysis of some of the changes in who is included and excluded in the particular techniques and strategies of 'kinning' for this family under study."—Blair Rutherford, author of Farm Labor Struggles in Zimbabwe: The Ground of Politics."Imagining Futures is a compelling and beautifully written multi-generational saga of a remarkable family that is at once a unique contribution to African history and a rare longitudinal study of kinship.
