She believes poetry is like singing or dancing and the best way to learn is to follow someone else. In this book, Kate shares the poems she has found provoke the richest responses, the exercises that help to shape those responses into new poems, and the advice that most often helps new writers build their own writing practice.If you have never written a poem before, this book will get you started. If you have written poems before, this book will help you to write more fluently and confidently, more as yourself. This book not like other creative writing books.

Five dazzling plays showcasing characters from the reign of biblical King DavidIn these fascinating, moving and insightful plays, a different light is shone on the famous biblical King. From the original mission of King Saul to find the shepherd boy after Samuel''s prophecy, to David''s final days of sickness and neglect, and taking in his days of war raids and spying as well as his loves and losses as his wives battle for status and attention, the tales bring to life a man who all too often is a figure of myth rather than a flawed and passionate human.Featuring a rich cast including Sheridan Smith (The Royale Family, Cilla, Gavin & Stacey), Linda Bassett (Call the Midwife, Lark Rise to Candleford), David Calder (The Lovecraft Investigations, Conclave), Claire Rushbrook (Whitechapel, Secrets & Lies), Adam Levy (Industry, The Witcher) and Christopher Godwin (The Dig, The Miniaturist).True AnointedEleazar - David CalderDavid - Adam LevyGoliath - Ewan BaileySaul - Gerard MurphySamuel - John BennettJesse - David TimsonAgag - Christopher GodwinMichal - Claire RushbrookOther parts were played by Sarah Paul and Carl PrekoppMusic by Sylvia HallettMusicians - Dirk Campbell, Paul Clarvis, Sylvia HallettWritten by Sebastian BaczkiewiczDirected by Jeremy MortimerHazar''s ChickenBone - Tony MarshallDavid - Adam LevyAbner - David TimsonHazar - Ewan BaileyAbigail - Helen LongworthSaul - Gerard MurphyJonathan - Carl PrekoppHead Man - Christopher GodwinMusic by Sylvia HallettMusicians - Dirk Campbell, Paul Clarvis, Sylvia HallettWritten by Sebastian BaczkiewiczDirected by Jeremy MortimerThe Loved One Anat - Ann MitchellYoung Anat - Gemma SaundersSaul - Gerard MurphyAbaiathar - Ewan BaileySweet - David TimsonSamuel - John BennettEleazar - David CalderMusic by Sylvia HallettMusicians - Dirk Campbell, Paul Clarvis, Sylvia HallettWritten by Sebastian BaczkiewiczDirected by David HunterMichal, Saul''s Daughter Eglah - Sheridan SmithMichal - Claire RushbrookAbigail - Caroline LangrisheServant - Ewan BaileyMusic by Sylvia HallettMusicians - Dirk Campbell, Paul Clarvis, Sylvia HallettWritten by Kate ClanchyDirected by Jeremy MortimerAbishag the Virgin Bathsheba - Linda BassettAbishag - Alison PettittNathan - Christopher GodwinDavid - David TimsonMusic by Sylvia HallettMusicians - Dirk Campbell, Paul Clarvis, Sylvia HallettWritten by Kate ClanchyDirected by David HunterOriginally broadcast on BBC Radio 4: 15 January - 12 February 2002©2023 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd (P)2023 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd

Shortlisted for the Costa First Novel AwardThe ''English'' of this novel are a particular kind of family. Their ailing patriarch is Phillip Prys, the once-famous writer unexpectedly eclipsed first by voguish Salman Rushdie, and second by a massive stroke. His third wife, Shirin, pads through their house in Hampstead, resolute in the face of Myfanwy, first spouse, who returns with all the subtlety of a stormy weather front to manage Phillip''s care. Their children, Jake and Juliet, have each retreated towards drugs and food, their already strained relationship with their father unable to bear this latest rupture. And to cap it all, it''s the hottest summer anyone can remember.Enter Struan. Built like a heron, fresh from Scotland, he is thrust -- quite literally -- into the bosom of the family as Phillip''s 17-year-old nurse. He''s had experience of death, but not of London. It''s a foreign country, with foreign food and foreign customs. But it also has a kind of magic. As he comes under the influence of each Prys, his life begins to change in ways he could never have imagined. And so, in the meantime, do theirs. . .

''Literary hand grenades, raising difficult questions about the world in which we live'' - GuardianIn the sixteen stories of The Not-Dead and The Saved, Kate Clanchy turns her clear gaze and remarkable honesty on what it means to be a mother or a child; to struggle alone; to seek comfort in love; to be present; to be sane.Lithe prose and crackling wit carry us from comedy to tragedy and back again, and create a bold cast of characters that includes even a few delightfully famous names.The much-lauded title story won the BBC National Short Story Award in 2009, and the collection as a whole more than delivers on that promise. It celebrates Kate Clanchy''s gift for clarity, empathy and surprise, and confirms her as one of the finest writers of our time.

Eight authors were given the freedom of their chosen English Heritage site, from medieval castles to a Cold War nuclear bunker. Immersed in the past and chilled by rumours of hauntings, they channelled their darker imaginings into a series of extraordinary new ghost stories. Following these stories by the eight contemporary writers, is a section by Andrew Martin on ghost stories and the sites that inspired them, and following that a section on accounts of strange happenings and sightings at a selections of English Heritage properties, often as recorded and related in interviews with site staff.
