Ken Loach's 1969 drama Kes, considered one of the finest examples of British social realism, tells the story of Billy, a working class boy who finds escape and meaning when he takes a fledgling kestrel from its nest.\n\nDavid Forrest’s study of the film examines the genesis of the original novel, Barry Hines’ A Kestrel for a Knave (1968), the eventual collaboration that brought it to the screen, and the film's funding and production processes. He provides an in depth analysis of key scenes and draws on archival sources to shed new light on the film’s most celebrated moments.\n \nHe goes on to consider the film’s lasting legacy, having influenced films like Ratcatcher (1999) and This is England (2006), both in terms of its contribution to film history and as a document of political and cultural value. He makes a case for the film's renewed relevance in our present era of systemic economic (and regional) inequality, alienated labour, increasingly narrow educational systems, toxic masculinity, and ecological crisis. Kes endures, he argues, because it points towards the possibility for emancipation and fulfilment through a more responsive and nurturing approach to education, a more delicate and symbiotic relationship with landscape and the non-human, and an emotional articulacy and sensitivity shorn of the rigid expectations of gender.

Drawing from his experience as a translator, Forrest Gander includes in the first, powerfully elegiac section a version of a poem by the Spanish mystical poet St. John of the Cross. He continues with a long multilingual poem examining the syncretic geological and cultural history of the U.S. border with Mexico. The poems of the third section-a moving transcription of Gander's efforts to address his mother dying of Alzheimer's-rise from the page like hymns, transforming slowly from reverence to revelation. Gander has been called one of our most formally restless poets, and these new poems express a characteristically tensile energy and, as one critic noted, \"the most eclectic diction since Hart Crane.\"

For over thirty years, Eiko & Koma, the Japanese-born choreographers and dancers,have created an influential theatre of movement out of stillness, shape, light, and sound. In tribute and collaboration, the acclaimed American poet Forrest Gander has written a mesmerizing series of poems - hinging around a dance schematic - that captures and extends the dancers' performance with lyrical intensity and vividness.

_______________\n\n'It's difficult to write a convincing tale of depression that's also an entertaining romp, but Forrest has done it' - Sunday Times\n\n'An incredibly gifted writer ... I can't remember the last time I ever read such a blistering, transfixing story of obsession, heartbreak and slow, stubborn healing' - Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat Pray Love\n\n'Emma Forrest is as hilarious as she is wise ... touching, funny and very real' - Gary Shteyngart, author of Super Sad True Love Story\n\n'Heartfelt and touching and surprisingly funny. It's also wincingly, unflinchingly honest' - Florence Welch, Dazed & Confused\n_______________\n\nEmma Forrest, an English journalist, was twenty-two and living in America when she realised that her quirks had gone beyond eccentricity.\n\nLonely, in a dangerous cycle of self-harm and damaging relationships, she found herself in the chair of a slim, balding and effortlessly optimistic psychiatrist - a man whose wisdom and humanity would wrench her from the vibrant and dangerous tide of herself, and who would help her to recover when she tried to end her life.\n\nEmma's loving and supportive family circled around her in panic. She was on the brink of drowning. But she was also still working, still exploring, still writing, and she had also fallen deeply in love. One day, when Emma called to make an appointment with her psychiatrist, she found no one there. He had died, shockingly, at the age of fifty-three, leaving behind a young family. Processing the premature death of a man who'd become her anchor after she'd turned up on his doorstep, she was adrift. And when her significant and all-consuming relationship also fell apart, she was forced to cling to the page for survival.\n\nA modern-day fairy tale of New York, Your Voice in My Head is a dazzling and devastating memoir, clear-eyed and shot through with wit. In a voice unlike any other, Emma Forrest explores breakdown and mania, but also the beauty of love - and the heartbreak of loss.

On a cold December day in 1840 Parisians turned out in force to watch as the body of Napoleon was solemnly carried on a riverboat from Courbevoie on its final journey to the Invalides. In this book Alan Forrest tells the remarkable story of how the son of a Corsican attorney became the most powerful man in Europe: a man whose charisma and legacy have endured since his lonely death on the Island of St Helena. Forrest cuts away the many layers of myth that have grown up around Napoleon, a man who mixed history and legend promiscuously. Drawing on original research and his own distinguished background in French history, Forrest undercuts the 'Great Man' theory of history to demonstrate that Napoleon was as much a product of his times as he was their creator.

Peter Waring è un adolescente romantico e un po' cupo, che ama la natura e la poesia e crede in fantasmi che non ha mai visto. Vive con suo padre in un villaggio costiero dell'Irlanda del Nord e ama passare i pomeriggi nella villa della signora Carroll. Quando però gli eleganti nipoti londinesi della signora trascorrono qualche settimana con la zia, Peter sperimenta i terrori e le gioie del primo amore. L'estate finisce, Katherine e Gerald ripartono e anche Peter deve trasferirsi a Belfast, presso una famiglia di odiatissimi parenti, per frequentare l'ultimo anno di scuola. Non è abbastanza per togliersi dalla mente Katherine: e fra nuove amicizie, feste e incontri di boxe, spuntano delle foto pornografiche a complicare ulteriormente la situazione. Forrest Reid viene oggi ricordato come uno dei più grandi romanzieri prebellici dell'Ulster. Con Peter Waring, considerato «un capolavoro» da E. M. Forster, ci regala una cronografia sentimentale, un romanzo di formazione interrotta, «uno splendido ritratto della confusione, delle goffaggini e dei tormenti dell'adolescenza».

In his new collection Torn Awake, Gander continues to blend passion with intelligence, unveiling the forces of physical nature and personhood, the self as a construction of reciprocally reflective relations. Proposing models of hybridity, each of the book's major sequences develops a unique subject, rhythm, and form. Bringing to light the molten potential at the core of personality, the poems illuminate ways that language, as history read by anthropologists, discourse between lovers, gestures between parent and child, graffiti in temples, or even language as an event in itself (the very experience of words at play), incarnates presence. Addressing father and son relationships, and venerating erotic love, Gander's poems surge with vitality: the energy of active discovery.
