There were many things that Hollie McNish didn't know before she was pregnant. How her family and friends would react; that Mr Whippy would be off the menu; how quickly ice can melt on a stomach. These were on top of the many other things she didn't know about babies: how to stand while holding one; how to do a poetry gig with your baby as a member of the audience; how drum'n'bass can make a great lullaby. But Hollie learned. And she's still learning, slowly.

Dew drops gather on petals and gleam, Dancing on the precipice of hope to be seen. Hope...Such a quiet whisper in some circumstances. But in others, It is loud or mere trances. It is a yell or a scream, Or love and a dream. It's a chance to prosper, A chance to redeem. Dawn is a new beginning, A new feeling. Dawn lights paint the sky, Lighting the way you must take and try. Revealing the hope that lay deep inside, Wake at dawn, It's time to fly.

4000 år efter at man i oldtidens Irak fortalte de første historier om kong Gilgamesh - helten, der jagede evigt liv - lever hans fortælling stadig videre. Det babylonske epos er et enestående eksempel på, at en fortælling kan brænde sig gennem tiden og forblive aktuel på tværs af årtusinder. "Gilgamesh" - hvis forfatter er ukendt - er et af verdenslitteraturens ældste hovedværker, og i dag bliver man stadig rørt af de oldgamle følelser, som eposset skildrer med poetisk præcision: kærlighed og sorg, rastløshed og dødsangst, venskab og vildskab.

Without apology, it embraces humanity and all the emotions, back stories, and history that come along with who we are and who Love is inviting us to be.

And for all of my growing-up years, I scoffed at the beauty of my sister and what I saw as her meaningless existence. But my wits hadn't served me well in this instance, for here I was, in jail. And while I could have seen it as carrying on the family tradition (Grandma Bebe landed in jail for her support of Prohibition), the truth is, my reasons for being here would probably break her heart."
