Look Again: A Book of Hidden Messages<\/a><\/h3>\r\nRead on and reflect on all the ways messages can be hidden \u2013 and uncovered \u2013 in other messages. More than that, we invite you to think about the relationship between the within and the without, and what it tells us about ourselves. Look Again<\/em> is a compilation of curious poems, short texts and extracts from longer works that all have something to hide or reveal, taking their cues from riddles, cyphers and imaginary languages.\r\n

Roll Again: A Book of Games To Play<\/a><\/h3>\r\nA collection of rules and instructions \u2013 for games to play on your own, with friends or enemies, outside or in. Most are designed to be very short, but one or two may last a week, a month, or a lifetime. There are role-playing games, dice games, creative games and battles, extracts from the likes of H. G. Wells and Charles Cotton as well as new work by contemporary writers.\r\n\r\nBut this compendium is also an experiment in literary form \u2013 it includes texts which are more poem than game. It urges readers to dive into the ambiguous space between imagining and enacting, and in so doing, rethink the meaning of everyday experiences.\r\n

Say It Again: A Book of Misquotations<\/a><\/h3>\r\nQuotations are used to motivate, intimidate, compel, amuse and persuade. But perhaps the quotations themselves need a little manipulation. This curious, critical, playful volume whips away carefully arranged context and sees what happens when well-known words become a little less familiar. We\u2019re saying all the right things, but not necessarily in the right order.\r\n

You Again: A Book of Love-Hate Stories<\/a><\/h3>\r\nWhat are the things you can\u2019t live with or without? What can we expect from relationships that refuse to resolve themselves one way or the other? You Again collects together accounts of ruinous tension and blighted passion, mixing extracts and cut-ups from famous works with fresh slivers of contemporary writing. There\u2019s romance, of course \u2013 but other kinds of entanglement as well, all awash with delight and frustration, rage and joy, hope and perplexity.\r\n
