After
Poetry.

Let us be grateful for a poet so gifted with the ability to remember, re-member, & reimagine life into lyric to show us what living fully is like after loss, after trauma, after healing, after joy, after what comes for us next. This book is for anyone who has survived, anyone who knows what it's like to be low and what it means to rise. After is only the beginning of many volumes of incredible work from one of our most imaginative & honest emerging voices."—Danez Smith "Poems are often called risky. Poems are sometimes called brave.

She weaves desire, hurt, devotion, and violation in such a way as to render a reader wide open. Do not be fooled by the softness of care evident in the craft behind each word. These poems, quite simply, go hard."—Nate Marshall
Voice and v
An investigation of the syntactic structure of voice and v, using Acehnese (Malayo-Polynesian) as the empirical starting point. In Voice and v, Julie Anne Legate investigates the syntactic structure of voice, using Acehnese as the empirical starting point. A central claim is that voice is encoded in a functional projection, VoiceP, which is distinct from, and higher than, vP. Legate further claims that VoiceP may be associated with phi-features that semantically restrict the external argument position but do not saturate it. Through minor variations in the properties of VoiceP, Legate explains a wide range of non-canonical voice constructions, including: agent-agreeing passives, grammatical ...

Hidden Heritage
A fresh perspective on British history from award-winning broadcaster Fatima Manji Why was there a Turkish mosque adorning Britain's most famous botanic garden in the eighteenth century? How did a pair of Persian-inscribed cannon end up in rural Wales? And who is the Moroccan man depicted in a long-forgotten portrait hanging in a west London stately home? Throughout Britain's museums, civic buildings and stately homes, relics can be found that reveal the diversity of pre-twentieth-century Britain and expose the misconceptions around modern immigration narratives. In her journey across Britain exploring cultural landmarks, Fatima Manji searches for a richer and more honest story of a nation struggling with identity and the legacy of empire. 'A timely, brilliant and very brave book' Jerry Brotton, author of This Orient Isle

A Place for Us tells the story of one family and all family life: of coming to terms with the choices we make, of reconciingly past and present and of how the smallest decisions can lead to the deepest betrayals.
