One Flew Under the Cuckoo's Nest by |
If you ever wondered about mental illness; if you thought you’d like to know how a mental health patient feels being ill, let Ami Amara open the doors to their life. This is not a fun book. This is not a sex book. This is a book that makes us think while we get into the fascinating account of one of the least understood (yes, even in the 21st century) types of human suffering. |

Shoogle Tide by |
Plant and planet, May queen and Eurovision wannabees, eclipses and omens in time and tide and a plethora of other current issues are given a good shake by poets such as Nigel Humphries, Margaret Eddershaw, Sylvia Oldroyd and Phil Powley. |

Turn the pages and two old birds in owlish specs peep back from the depths of the floral chintz, a man fries an egg in the road somewhere off Oxford Street, and cows big as wardrobes dare you to cross. |
