In Calendars Andreea Iulia Scridon presents a lyrically seductive engagement with Fitzgerald's “little green light”. Her poetry explores the perils of heartbreak, generational narcissism and a playful, uncertain, sexuality.

If you feel overwhelmed by the world, go for a walk. Go to a museum or to a library or bookshop. Listen to music or watch a film. Read poetry. Remind yourself that there is more than tragedy. Remember, there is grace & transcendence to be found.

It is the role of the poet and the novelist, and also the painter, to reveal the mystery, and the glow in the dark quality which exist in the depths of every individual.

A knocker-upper was someone whose sole purpose was to wake people up during a time when alarm clocks were expensive and not very reliable. In this photo, Mary Smith earned six pence a week using a pea shooter to shoot dried peas at the windows of sleeping workers in East London, 1930s. She would not leave a window until she was sure that the workers had woken up.
