Singing in the Dark
Singing in the Dark is an intercontinental collection of poetic responses at a time when the coronavirus pandemic has dramatically altered the world. More than a hundred of the world's most esteemed poets reflect upon a crisis that has impacted the entire human world and laid bare all our vulnerabilities. The poems capture all its dimensions: the trauma of solitude, the unexpected transformation in the expression of interpersonal relationships, the even sharper visibility of the class divide, the marvellous revival of nature and the profound realization of the transience of human existence.

Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things
This is part of a new series of guides to contemporary novels. The aim of the series is to give readers accessible and informative introductions to some of the most popular, most acclaimed and most influential novels of recent years - from ‘The Remains of the Day' to ‘White Teeth'. A team of contemporary fiction scholars from both sides of the Atlantic has been assembled to provide a thorough and readable analysis of each of the novels in question.
A Moment In The Universe
These poems are about life-both the little things scattered here and there and the great events that stand-alone like seasoned rocks. Through the prism of these poems, the poet is looking at polarities that define the context of our being-good and evil, sacred and profane, inner and outer, big and small, objective and subjective. We experience life in brief segments of time called "moments." They come and go. Moments become our memories, memories condition our thinking, and we are thus condemned to lead a life of loss and sorrow, fighting shadows that are basically our own creation. As a result, we move further away from the great stream of life that is harmonious and peaceful at its core. Arranged around four themes-life, love, work, and beyond-these poems take the reader on a journey that proceeds from the purely personal to widely shared experiences of living, loving, leading, and connecting with the unknown. The beauty of the written word is enhanced by 25 images that illuminate different themes covered in the book.
Greening the Earth

Poets from across the world respond here in their diverse voices-of anger, despair, and empathy-to the present ecological damage prompted by human greed, pray for the re-greening of our little planet and celebrate a possible future where we live in harmony with every form of creation.
