Through Your Blood
Through your blood talks us along a deeply personal yet undeniably relatable journey, through a turbulent adolescence into adulthood. Refreshingly frank, perceptive and funny, these poems are psalms of identity, broken tradition and desperation sung from the back lanes of a Midlands city. Born and raised in the Midlands, Toby Campion is a UK National Poetry Slam Champion and a World Poetry Slam finalist. Recipient of the Silver Wyvern Award and First Place in the Poetry on the Lake Prizes 2017, awarded by Carol Ann Duffy, Toby has performed his poetry on stages across the UK, from Glastonbury Festival to London's Royal Albert Hall, and in countries around the world, including America, Italy,...
I'm Hans Christian Andersen
On the radio they said that Hans Christian Andersen wrote the Little Mermaid as he was avoiding the wedding of someone he loved. So I picked a book from my shelf, I sat down, and I began to read.
Hans Keller and the BBC
Hans Keller (1919-85), musician and writer, dominated British musical life during the 40 years that followed the Second World War. His original and stimulating ideas made a deep impression on creative musicians and ordinary music-lovers alike. This influence was greatly magnified by the 30 years that he spent as an active broadcaster, 20 of them on the staff of the BBC.This unique study of Keller's BBC work is a vivid portrait of the changing face of British broadcasting seen through the work of one of its most significant personalities. Starting with an examination of Keller's early psychological interests, and the evolution of his method of 'functional analysis' of music (with which the BB...
Singing My Mother's Song
This collection started as a whisper, a quiet mouth asking questions. Over the years it became a coherent voice that kept getting louder. Now it is a song, sprung from a yearning to fill in the missing parts, to understand my mother's story. Perhaps it's something that goes beyond what is experiential and real and moves into memory and imagination. Perhaps it is a book of magic, of synchronicity and colliding moments in time, too strange to be logical, too concise to be chance. Ultimately, it's a way of shedding light, in order to change the direction of a past. Sometimes, I think it has been formed by my imagined daughter, clearing the way ahead before her own birth. Or by whole generations of women, celebrating a future, formed from the heart of us.
Inheriting Our Names
Memoir of a family in Sevilla during the Spanish Civil War and through Franco's dictatorship.
Squidbox
Performance poet Robert Garnham spent the summer of 2020 interviewing those involved in the Brixham fishing industry, and learning all about the history of this Devon port. The result, commissioned by Torbay Culture, was the pamphlet 'Squidbox'. These poems are a celebration of a remarkable town with its rich history and culture, taking in themes such as war refugees, the role of women in the town's development, the environmental impact of fishing, and the trawler crews who risk their lives to bring their catch home.
Dissent and the Bible in Britain, C.1650-1950
This book considers the use of the Bible by dissenters in Britain from the mid-17th to the mid-20th centuries. It reconsiders the divided history of Protestantism: dissenters were people drawn together by the belief that they were truer to the Bible than any other Christians, yet still divided by differences in how they read it.
