Taylor Swift's defining breakout hit, 'Love Story', was written in twenty minutes on her bedroom floor and now is used for fan proposals at live shows that sell out stadiums and the adjacent car parks. In this book, Caitlin Robson writes her way through 11 albums and 18 years of Swift's lyrics, stories, controversies and re-recordings which set a precedent in the music industry to allow artists to demand ownership. There are bigger issues at play in Swift's lyrics; gender politics, mental health conversations, and the building of an enormous musical community while maintaining that letter-writing pen pal dynamic with fans. A fascinating biography of one of the most famous women in the world right now.

Meet Henrietta, 25-years-old, from a once-infamous family...At first glance, she appears to be your average young British person - hooked on the online world, struggling with identity issues, facing a housing crisis, and navigating a dangerous world of toxic authority. Except, she's also maybe a murderer with a love of pseudonyms, Roy Orbison, and different coloured wigs... and very probably a sociopath... and very definitely a genius-level gamer, hacker and holder of often provocative opinions, who's busily ripping off thousands of people with her devious video game.The book is written from her own perspective and introduces 'PidPat' a modern-day street language.

A family memoir that builds a bridge across the terrible divides of our times. It's a Jewish book, but not Just a Jewish book. It moves Jewish writing away from its customary setting of the Holocaust and Europe, transporting Jewish identity instead to Iraq, India, China and Singapore: places and cultures that most people (including Jews themselves) don't associate with Jewish identity. It shows Jews integrating with others, not divisive, not separate: not antagonistic. The issue of intermarriage is increasingly important for all racial groups and this book speaks beyond the Jewish community, in relation to how we treat strangers in the form of immigrants and other communities. Loving Strangers has already won the Hazel Rowley Prize (US, 2020) for the best proposal for a first-time biographer and was shortlisted for the Tony Lothian Prize (UK, 2019) for the best unpublished biography.

This unique interpretation of Christopher Smart's masterpiece begins with a biography which offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of Christopher Smart, an extraordinary poet who died in an insane asylum all but abandoned by family and friends. Convinced that the current names of the days of the week should be changed to words that represent the true God of the universe, Smart chose seven Greek letters which are references to Christ. Scholars and critics have attempted to explain these letters, but none have apprehended Smart's purpose which was "to preach the very gospel of Christ." Herein Strong explains the reason for and meaning of these chosen Greek letters and their relation to the whole.

Theology of the Broken invites the reader into a garden--a messy, sensual place of potential and despair--and into the Garden, where the myth of Adam and Eve is exploded and rewritten into a tale of separation and communion. The book opens with bulbs that have landed on the author's porch and expands into a hallucinatory chorus of flowers, interspersed with mythic poems upended from all ordinary perspective. In this garden the Fall is division: male from female, body from soul. The poems wander through a landscape alternately lush and desolate until Adam and Eve are united again, momentarily.
