WINNER OF THE T S ELIOT PRIZE 2021 WINNER OF THE POLARI PRIZE 2022 'Visionary and powerful. I loved it.' Hollie McNish The female body is a political space. C+nto enters the private lives of women from the butch counterculture, telling the inside story of the protests they led in the '90s to reclaim their bodies as their own – their difficult balance between survival and self-expression. History, magic, rebellion, party and sermon vibrate through Joelle Taylor's cantos to uncover these underground communities forged by women. Part-memoir and part-conjecture, Taylor explores sexuality and gender in poetry that is lyrical, expansive, imagistic, epic and intimate. C+nto is a love poem, a riot, a late night, and an honouring. minds. Here is poetry that defends our right to walk without fear, wear what we choose, be who we uniquely are." - - Diana Souhami

The rights of children as citizens have become an increasing focus of international attention as the 20th anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is celebrated in 2009. The key components of citizenship include entitlement to respect and recognition, opportunities for belonging and meaningful participation in society, the right to express an opinion and have it taken into account, and the fulfillment of duties to others. This book reports on research with children and young people in Australia, Brazil, New Zealand, Norway, Palestine, and South Africa. There were ideas they held in common - obeying the law, respecting and helping others, working hard - but it was also found that certain features of different nations - whether inequality in Brazil, migration and multiculturalism in Australia and New Zealand, or conflict and occupation in Palestine - were reflected in how the children interpreted their rights, responsibilities, and citizenship. Children as Citizens? International Voices is the result of collaborative research by the Childwatch International Citizenship Study Group.

Personal stories are the way we develop a sense of who we are, make sense of our experiences and make and sustain relationships. Research shows that people with severe communication difficulties - such as severe and profound learning disabilities, autism and language impairments - find it hard to recall and share the stories of their lives. This handbook draws on fifteen years of research and practice into personal storytelling in adult services and educational settings. Storysharing is a unique, innovative and highly effective approach to enabling the most severely disabled individuals to participate in telling their own stories.

Set in London and Brighton, Thirty Days is a fabulously provocative romance series that gives you a very steamy love affair between a hot guy and an unsure heroine, baked goods and some rather unexpected twists and turns along the way. “Marry me Abby,” Taylor counters, his words a command and not a request, as he holds up a small blue box tied up with white ribbon. Taylor regards me quietly and then starts to speak with absolute conviction, “You are mine Abby, and you will marry me.” When Taylor abandoned Abby for the second time, she needed to believe that fate would somehow bring them back together, that they were meant to be. Together Abby and Taylor work to rebuild their relation...
