Bread and Circus is a hybrid and palimpsestic memoir-in-verse: it combines poetry, photography and spectral imagining to explore the realities of economic necessity and marginal poverty through a personal lens. Examining the experience of the US urban Black community from a variety of perspectives, it draws heavily on the author’s archival research on Adam Smith, the eighteenth-century Scottish economist, as well as his magnum opus, The Wealth of Nations.

If language is music, it is apt that a playlist is a poem. It makes even more sense in The Epic of Cader Idris, coming from Samatar Elmi, a poet whose concerns with the origins of things and the landscape of the margins are expressed in language so lyrical that you could almost miss its politics in its own music: "almost invisible, like the stencil of words / whispered at the front on a frosty morning," as he writes in [Etymologies].

Centred around two lyric poems on imminent fatherhood and the birth of a child, Signs, Music is a book about masculinity, fatherhood, and love. The speaker, looking backwards to his late father and forwards to his new son, prepares to become a parent for the first time. Meditating on the cognitive and emotional dissonances between the ‘hypothetical’ and the ‘real’ of becoming a father, this irreversible transition causes the poet’s ‘lines [to] lead towards my father (again!)’.

"Ey millet, birçok şeyler verdiniz, büyük sıkıntılara katlandınız, ama dostun düşmanın hayran olduğu bir sırça köşk elde ettiniz. Onun azameti, onun parlaklığı yanında üç beş çuval ekin, dört beş davar nedir ki?.. Biz sizin şanınız, şerefiniz için çalışıyoruz, sizin iyiliğinizden başka bir şey düşünmüyoruz. Bakın, bugün getirip bıraktığınız koyunların bile hepsini yemedik, boğazımızdan kestik, bir kısmını size geri vereceğiz. Bütün koyunların kelleleri halka dağıtılsın!"

John Donne's famous poem about two lovers surprised by the astonishingly rapid arrival of sunrise, read by Bill Wallis.

This is a collection of poetry by the author that functioned greatly as a diary as she navigated her way through the rocky existence that was her mid twenties. She describes what it's like to burn with anxiety, drown under the weight of depression, feel misrepresented with chronic health conditions, grieve the loss of a loved one, and more.

I have been in a low depression, partly due to the fact that I read Disability's summary of my condition, and it made me feel week, unable, and unworthy. It made me feel like all of my hopes and dreams are just grandiose overly optimistic fantasies. But they aren't. These 42 poems remind me of the abilities I do have. So I publish them for you, so you will drink in their optimism and feel better about your suffering, as all is not lost for either me nor you.

Manas ka hans is a brilliant attempt to bring forth the life of Goswami Tulsidas. The novel is an attempt to address the complications of religion through Tulsidas while portraying him as a person who was afflicted with all the virtues and vices known to human beings. How Tulsidas finds Shri Ram is a question that the author answers in a fashion that can only be termed brilliant, for lack of better word. The best thing about the work is that it doesn't attempt to glorify any God or deity but simply tries to go into the mind of the devotee - Tulsidas, in this case.
