Ghost
by James S M Parker

After losing everything, it was in absolute nothingness where he found himself.
At the end of all he held close, at the end of all he held dear, at the end of all he held tight;
that end now holds him.
And he became death. And he became vengeance. And he became ghost.
A twisted tale of revenge spanning decades, spanning genres and even spanning writing styles,
James Parker’s 15th book is finally released after 3 years in its creation

Letters on the Nature of Love
Janet Braithwaite

Letters on the Nature of Love
Janet Braithwaite was born in Staffordshire in May 1939 and has spent most of her life in the Midlands. Her life-long interest in languages, culture and psychology and love of music, dance, art, travel and mountaineering led somewhat haphazardly to a B.A. in classics, her first job working for three and a half years in rural development in north west Greece and a subsequent working life divided between psychological development work with troubled adolescents and freelance teaching English to adult foreign students. In her thirties she trained and worked as an artist printmaker. Her prints, deeply influenced by her memories of the Greek landscape and her love of modern Greek poetry, have been exhibited in galleries in London including the Royal Academy’s Summer Show, and the Midlands. She has mountaineered in the Austrian Alps and the Pyrenees and journeyed extensively on foot through the mountains of Greece, and has taught English in Athens and Paris for a year each. The same themes which inspired her working life inform the subject matter of her book and design for its cover.

Her first published work, it is a collection of recent drawings and poems written mainly since 1990 on the threshold of the second half of life. It is a celebration of love in all its permutations and of the joys of chance meetings with strangers and foreigners with all the enriching opportunities they bring for expanding horizons, experiencing different cultures and engaging with “the other”. Its ambition is to be deeply serious and light-heartedly humorous.

Silent Screams
Nubia Assata

Silent Screams
Nubia Assata

Silent Screams is a radical insight to the trials and tribulations of young people, especially those intersecting ethnic minority groups. Positioned from an introspective standpoint, this anthology is able to open doors that would otherwise remain unchallenged.

An honest take on the battle with mental health, politics, and black family dynamics, likens the poet to an incredibly mature author. Unapologetic whilst also careful, powerful whilst also soft, Nubia leans on her own experiences to draw parallels between herself and her history. To ultimately look forward to the future proposing the question of where do we go next?

This powerful and impacting collection is part of a continuing poetry legacy of black women such as; June Jordan, Sonia Sanchez, Jayne Cortez, Nikki Giovanni, and many other black women, whose poignant lyrical expression, with powerful social commentary, have formed the basis of liberating the many silent voices

A raw and unfi ltered collection; Nubia’s poetry is fearless, it is tender, it is strong, and it is authentic

Who Are We But The Forgotten
James S M Parker

Who Are We But The Forgotten

Just an ordinary day full of ordinary people living ordinary lives. Lost in their existence, lost in their technology, lost in their selfish thoughts. And then suddenly, there was a change, a something and then a nothing. And then came the cruelty. The amnesia swept across the planet and affected all in different ways turning those ordinary people into extraordinary creatures unaware of themselves, unaware of their family, unaware of their past. Seen through the eyes, and recorded by the hand, of Stewart MaCaulay, this tale of horror and terror, of loss and love and of fear and death is translated by James S M Parker and released as his 13th book. A modern classic made up of verse with hints of scripture and poetry that takes us on a disturbing journey and asks the question; what are we without memory…no, who are we without memory? And the answer; who are we…but the forgotten.

Broken will always be Broken
James S M Parker

9781911175858 We live our lives through reflections, see our guilt mirrored in glass eyes and shatter into tiny pieces impossible to glue back together. But we try. I tried. The death of my mother made me question love, suicide, life, death and sanity. On the way, I studied words in my own personal hell before realising that above everything else, I failed her. And so, I end my inferno with an answer to a question none of us are brave enough to ask… …broken will always be broken.

The Hungry Crow
James S M Parker

The Hungry Crow

The Hungry Crow devours and feasts, it pecks away at Love, claws over Madness, consumes Death and digests Truth.
Through poetry and a mid-section collection of short stories, James S M Parker attempts to make sense of broken relationships, unrequited love and the absolute loneliness life has now brought him.
Harsh, uncompromising and as always, honest, The Hungry Crow speaks from the heart, weeps from the soul and revels in something lost never to be found again.
