Swimming my way through the depths of DepressionMy legal name is Laura Jayne Inglis and my artist's name is Madame Phoenix. I am 33 years old and have been working on my book, "Swimming my way through the depths of Depression" for the last three years. It is a compilation of artwork poems, ramblings, and short stories I have written over the years to cope with my depression, specifically since a car accident in 2019 which triggered a major brain disorder - Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). The car accident ultimately caused me to lose almost everything. My career working with children, my license and a lot of my independence and many friends and loved ones who couldn't cope with how debilitating this condition was. I had worked as an Outside School Hours Coordinator at Mt Crosby School Hours Coordinator for 9 years prior to the accident - the job, children, and community it created was my life. I was also part of the local Roller Derby league both as a player and their secretary. I was skating up to 20 hours a week prior to the car crash. The lack of socialisation and skating/driving led me to picking up a piece of paper and pencil one day and just drawing and before I knew it, I couldn't stop. I poured my heart out, as dark as it was, and that became my coping mechanism. It is my dream to share my works with the world and help those who live with mental illness, FND and/or have gone through significant trauma like me. I want my book to make a difference. Even if it's to just one individual. Swimming my way through the depths of Depression was written during an extremely turbulent time during my life and there were many people who waivered during the storm and left; for the wind and rain was too heavy for them to carry. However, there were many people who stood still with and for me and for that, I am forever grateful. They are my true mates for life, and I love them dearly. You know who you are. This book also helped me grow both creatively and as an individual and young woman. It helped shape my view of the world as well as how I saw myself and the way I allowed others to see and treat me. Between the lines of some of these painful proses and confronting poems, I learnt the immense power of two words: "No" and "boundaries". My life changed for the better because I embraced these two words in my life and I used them to shape my new world - a safer world where I was bold, brave and beyond reproach. I was in control and I wasn't making lemonade out of lemons I was making flipping zesty, sunrise mocktails in my corner of the world where women were empowered and encouraged to be loud, brazen, and unapologetically themselves but most of all, where we were safe. That is what book, means to me and I hope, brings some same familiar meaning to individuals around the corners of the world. Kind regards,Madame PhoenixLaura Jayne Inglis

Martha Hall Kelly har skrevet endnu en medrivende historisk roman inspireret af virkelige levede liv, denne gang under den amerikanske borgerkrig. Georgeanna ”Georgey” Woolsey er ikke skabt til en verden af overdådige fester, hvor det forventes, at en kvinde i hendes position er duknakket og ærbødig. Så da den amerikanske borgerkrig bryder ud og antænder hele nationen, ser Georgey sit snit og vælger at forfølge sin lidenskab for sygepleje - i en tid, hvor kvinder er uønskede ved fronten. Men Georgey og hendes søster Eliza vil modbevise de onde tunger, og de vover sig ud på en rejse fra New York til Washington D.C. og Gettysburg, hvor de bliver førstehåndsvidner til slaveriets og krigens rædsler.I sydstaterne møder vi Jemma, som er slavegjort på Peeler-plantagen i Maryland, hvor hun bor med sin mor og far. Hendes søster, Patience, lider samme skæbne på naboplantagen, og begge lever de i frygt for plantagelederen, LeBaron. Da Jemma sælges til den grusomme mrs. Anne-May, mens unionshæren marcherer igennem landet, øjner Jemma chancen for at flygte, selvom hun må sige farvel til sin elskede familie.Georgeys kald som unionssygeplejerske medvirker til, at hun krydser veje med Jemma, og herfra fremskrives et levende og detaljerigt portræt af borgerkrigsoplevelsen; fra de barbariske og umenneskelige plantager, til et krigshærget New York og slagmarkens rædsler.Georgey er en fjern forfader til Caroline Ferriday, som Kelly introducerede i sin bestseller Blomstrende syrener, og Solsikkesøstrene er inspireret af virkelige begivenheder.

Lay down your flowers and raise up your fists...Deborah Finding's debut poetry pamphlet, 'vigils for dead and dying girls' takes the feminist slogan 'the personal is political' to heart, as it approaches sexual violence and inequality as both painfully individual and deeply systemic.Dark humour, magic and witchcraft play their part in the tales told here, whether the fate of fairy tale characters in a mental health institution, or a girls' brunch-turned-hexing session with some of mythology's most powerful goddesses. Music is also a key theme throughout: providing the backdrop to a sexual assault, used as a tool for healing, and providing the rhythm of a feminist protest anthem.Poems drawn from front-page headlines of violence against women - such as the high-profile murders of Sarah Everard, Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman - and associated misogyny in policing, legal and media institutions sit alongside broader reflections on the insidious cultural abuse of women and girls. Societal pressures, sexist tropes and the constant threat and fear of violence faced by women are depicted with deftness and wit as Finding draws on her professional and academic expertise in gender and trauma to create an easily accessible space, in which the radical truth-telling and rigour required for these highly-charged topics is balanced by compassion and care for her audience.'vigils for dead and dying girls' is a display of anger, empathy and solidarity: each poem standing as a candle shining light into a dark place, but also offering hope for a better future.

Out of grief, upheaval, derision, disappointment, and change of all kinds-from the intimate to the mythic-Incantations both admonishes and rails. Darnell Arnoult's evocative collection unleashes frustration and longing in tongues of fire. And while her poems walk heaven's blues home in a rush of images, real and imagined, they point to an undergirding optimism and path toward healing and hope where joy lies "dazed and waiting." The spells cast here are beyond magic, beyond human-no less than urgent, no more than what's necessary to begin again.
