Time Is A Mother

What We Say: Compassionate and affecting, Vuong’s masterful poems explore grief, the determination to survive beyond it and the meaning of family with the same poise as his novel On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous.

What They Say: “Vuong's poems passionately and inventively articulate the difficulties of understanding and accepting selfhood alongside the varieties of life beyond it” – Times Literary Supplement

Jez Butterworth

What We Say: Jez Butterworth’s masterpiece on Englishness stands up as well as on the page as it does on stage. Johnny ‘Rooster’ Byron dazzlingly holds court while the scene of his small world transforms into an epic state-of-the-nation play. 

What They Say: “Tender, touching, and blessed with both a ribald humour and a haunting sense of the mystery of things…” – Telegraph

Warsan Shire

What We Say: Essential and intrepid, this collection of poems exploring migration, trauma, resilience and womanhood from the award-winning Somali British poet Warsan Shire (and collaborator on Beyoncé's Lemonade and Black Is King) is a triumph.

What They Say: "It is absolutely astonishing how much emotion, intelligence, imagination, and truth Warsan Shire can get into one collection. She is a poet of the highest order, with a compassionate heart, and a limitless mind” – Benjamin Zephaniah
