Stretching It
At thirty-two, plump PA Jennifer Spendlove no longer wants to put her life on hold to care for her hypochondriac Mum, Alicia. A habit of telling white lies to keep the peace contributes to her sense of stuckness. But when she embarks on a quest to change her life - beginning with a series of lonely hearts dates - it's very difficult to be honest. And when a sex-crazed Italian hairdresser enters the frame and her new boss offers her an opportunity that might be either a blessing or a curse, it becomes almost impossible. To add to the complications, Jennifer isn't the only one stretching the truth...
Knowing the Dark
These poems are a two-handed celebration, of moments of wildfire and of the quiet persistences that underpin a life. Though the dark is known, most movingly in the elegy sought down the winding paths of a well-wrought sestina, Jo Heather has an eye for the subtler colours that can outwit the dark, whether it is the pure saffron silver-stain she finds in the windows of All Saints, Tanner Street, where a York leather merchant, a plain man, down to earth, with a bulgy nose, is preserved not in leather but in light, or a friend s timeworn beauty, found again in the breath / given by wild bluebells, so light / no-one can describe it

They are going to gather long grass, maadh, to make the walls of a house, aqal, for Ijo's daughter, who is soon to be married"--P. [4] of cover.
Winter Breaks
At the heart of the book is a cycle of poems based on Franz Schubert's Winterreise. Winter Breaks is a no-frills week-end flight to the saddest hotel in the world. Here you are only as cold as you feel.
Social Policy
Welfare states face profound challenges. Widening economic and social inequalities have been intensified by austerity politics, sharpened by the rise in ethno-nationalism and exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, recent decades have seen a resurgence of social justice activism at both the local and the transnational level. Yet the transformative power of feminist, anti-racist and postcolonial/decolonial thinking has become relatively marginal to core social policy theory, while other critical approaches – around disability, sexuality, migration, age and the environment – have found recognition only selectively. This book provides a much needed new analysis of this complex l...
