The Complete Works of William Shakespeare is anything but Shakespeare. Unless you’ve never read Shakespeare.
This debut poetry collection by Matthew Freemantle is at times hilarious, at times snarky and at other times a concise mirror reflecting back the absurdity of modern life in South Africa - especially during multiple lockdowns.
A high-brow toilet book that tackles personal reflections on toes, fatherhood, sex, commerce and identity.

This remarkable collaboration had its origins when John Kinsella
and Alan Jenkins, two very different poets who had long admired and
enjoyed each other's work, discovered by chance that the new poems
they were working on shared a preoccupation with the sea. Marine
brings together those poems and others written since, all dealing
with the sea in its many moods and weathers, with people's
relationship to and exploitation of their marine environment, from
the Indian Ocean to the shores of the Atlantic; the two poets'
highly distinctive voices, while drawing on a dazzling variety of
forms and sources, complementing each other in a powerful
counterpoint.
ni de aqui, ni de alla: It starts neither here nor there, a liminal
space between two states of being. A life captured within his
lines, At Least This I Know guides the reader through Andres N.
Ordorica's own story, of ancestry, nationhood, activism and
queerness, through childhood photographs, across international
highways, to tales of love and loss, and beyond. These poems are a
means of working through the belonging in both the physical sense
and emotional, be it the belonging of immigrant bodies in new
countries, or that of the queer self within found families and safe
spaces. Navigating his family origin and personal journey to
belonging, from Mexico, the USA, to Scotland, it's a story to be
welcomed into, one that flows from the page and envelops you.
You Better Be Lightning by Andrea Gibson is a queer, political, and feminist collection guided by self-reflection.
The poems range from close examination of the deeply personal to the vastness of the world, exploring the expansiveness of the human experience from love to illness, from space to climate change, and so much more in between.
One of the most celebrated poets and performers of the last two decades, Andrea Gibson's trademark honesty and vulnerability are on full display in You Better Be Lightning, welcoming and inviting readers to be just as they are.
