Elara, however, had been raised on whispers and forbidden texts by her grandmother, a descendant of a hidden lineage. She wasnt interested in turning lead into gold; she was interested in the essence of things, their vibrational frequency, how they interacted not just on a molecular level, but on a well, a soul level. Her laboratory, powered by scavenged solar cells and hidden beneath a sprawling hydroponics farm, was a haven of bubbling beakers, glowing crucibles, and the pungent aroma of rare earth elements.Above the earth, the Techno-City rose like a monument to precisionglass towers, perfect algorithms, emotions regulated into compliance. Below it, buried beneath living roots and whispered knowledge, alchemy never truly died.Fire still remembered.Matter still listened.And frequency still told the truth.Elara was never interested in turning lead into gold.Gold was inert. Predictable. Dead.Elara, standing at the edge of her hydroponics farm, watched the city bloom with newfound life. She had saved them, not by replacing science, but by complementing it. The age of alchemy had returned, not as a mystical art, but as a vital, missing piece of a complex puzzle

A group of scientists, driven by the understanding that "singularity points" exist not only in cosmic phenomena but also within human consciousness and moments in time, embark on an ambitious quest to understand the fundamental nature of life and the universe.Their research leads them to explore quantum dimensions, where they uncover a profound interconnectedness that binds all existence. This interconnectedness, they realize, is the embodiment of pure love. However, their pursuit of this truth attracts the attention of a terrifying and malevolent force, an entity that actively seeks to prevent humanity from realizing or spreading this revelation.The scientists find themselves in a desperate race against this dark force, which relentlessly attacks them in an effort to silence them and suppress the knowledge of universal interconnectedness and love. The narrative details their frantic struggle for survival and their determination to safeguard this crucial discovery.Ultimately, through their perseverance and the inherent power of good, the scientists emerge victorious, defeating the malevolent force and ensuring that the truth of universal love can be known..!

Light Year by Jennifer Wong is a meditation on time. These poems delve into the mind of a poet crossing spaces of deep wounds, love and healing: a constellation of friendships and love as she moves through upheaval, transformation and change.The collection offers glimpses into the journeys of a migrant, a daughter, and a mother; with the passage of years, the poems ask what it might mean to move like light itself, beyond expectations and into new ways of understanding ourselves more profoundly. With sublime precision, Jennifer Wongs poetry brings clarity to the spaces between the stars the time difference between memories and place, between our loved ones, and everything we hold dear in life.A Poetry Book Society Recommendation

A collection to inspire discussions, debate and embolden the difficulties faced by women in the healthcare system.This is a bilingual anthology of new writing from 13 women poets of Wales who suffer with pain and/or chronic illness and health conditions.

The book will be distributed in GP surgeries and healthcare settings and is designed to open up conversations for the women and men that use them and work in them. The book is edited by Hanan Issa and Gwyneth Lewis. A powerful and unflinching collection of poems about living with long term health conditions.It is an act of testimony, a call to awareness, and, in many ways, a rallying cry.
