Shortlisted for Best Writer at The Stage Debut Awards 2023
Finalist for Most Promising New Playwright at the Offies Awards 2024
Look, gang, what we need to keep sight of is, this isn't about us. It's not personal...
It's about the children.
When two 9-year-old boys kiss in the school playground of a small town, two sets of parents are told to 'do something about it' but neither of them are entirely sure what.
Amira is sending inclusive children's books to the school library, whilst her wife Chloe dreams of a kitchen island. Sarah is trying her best not to upset the Mum WhatsApp group, and her husband Matt just really wants to do the right thing as soon as he can work out what that is. Luckily, here to guide our helpless humans are two cherubic winged guardians of the gays, summonsed to attend to a disturbance in the queer atmos and intervene only where strictly necessary - but where's the fun in being an ethereal being if you can't drop in and cause a scene wearing latex?
The Boys Are Kissing is a riotous comedy about angelic intervention, children's birthday parties gone sour, and whether it ever really is 'just about the children', written by 503Five 2019-20 alumni Zak Zarafshan.
This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at Theatre503, London, in January 2023.

Corrected and cleaned up, Stevens shines
Format: Paperback
The corrections to the text of the 1954 Collected Poems are worth paying for, but the attractive, highly readable typeface and layout make this collection pleasantly readable as well as compelling. Stevens is one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century, and in his corporate pin-stripe portliness he is also an inspiration to all of us basically nerdy, tweedy, non-Beat types who hope we possess a tiny spark of poetic genius. Romantic and post-romantic poetry is an argument between imagination and reality, and no one clarifies the terms of that argument better than Stevens.

Linus's blue blanket
Format: Hardcover
Even though I'm reading the hardcover, I wrap
the wonderful, wise words of W.S. Merwin around me.
His poems infuse my life with an even keener sense of appreciating the "now."
His words keep me in constant contact with my sense of responsibility for our planet.
He's an inspiration for taking action to preserve, conserve, and plant trees, as well as
recognizing the magnitude of the impact that each being carries. The geese, all animals,
relationships, taking better care of the earth and each other,
as well as experiencing the sorrows and the joys in life.
He is dedicated to the craft of poetry and its vital role of importance in our lives.
I wish I could thank him in person, but since that's not realistic, I will continue
to do my best to honor him in my own way, by taking time to observe,
experience, appreciate, write, take action, and reflect upon the beauty in the world
and making the most of each moment. Carpe Diem!

What Merwin Thought Represented Him Best
Format: Paperback
If one volume could sum up adequately W.S. Merwin's artistic development and illustrate his place in American literature with some justice, "Migration" does the job. At least as importantly, it gives us the poet's own opinion on the poems for which he might want to be remembered, much as Nathaniel Tarn inspired Pablo Neruda to do in the selection of Neruda's poems that Tarn oversaw. I bought "Migration" at roughly the same time as
and
and cross-referenced his selection from those titles in "Migration" against the whole. While I still have one or two favorites that did not make the cut, I found the choices he made consistently better-inspired and more timeless than the poems that surrounded them (though overall Merwin has remained a consistent and astonishingly fine craftsman throughout his career). For those who want to go further back than Merwin's more recent books for Copper Canyon Press should not be disappointed.
