Four British plays deal with a poet and her mother, a family's breakdown in communication, a woman who literally wrestles with her problems, and the interaction of a group of office workers.

This volume of poetry is a melancholy exploration of the ideas of love and happiness revealed through the dialogue of an angel and a man. Levy is also a playwright whose "Heresies" was commissioned by the RSC.

'Swimming Home' is a subversive page-turner, a merciless gaze at the insidious harm that depression can have on apparently stable, well-turned-out people.
