Euphoria: a collection of univocalic poetry and plays

A collection of antilipogrammatic constrained poetry and plays – univocalics wherein each uses only a single, specific vowel. Exploring diverse poetic forms and structure with deft observation and humour, Euphoria confronts serious themes including social and global politics, mental and physical health, abuse, class, identity, brain training, and the human quest for wellbeing. Educational, engaging, and better than Wordle! Melanie Neads is a poet, playwright and dramaturge from Salford whose poetry collection with Sarah Miller was Best Collaborative Work runner-up at the Saboteur Awards. Her plays have won the Forever Manchester Award, been shortlisted for the Shelagh Delaney Award, and performed on radio by victims of youth crime for Live from Worktown’s Standing Together community safety project. Melanie co-founded the Pavilion Theatre Company in Bolton, was Drama Co-ordinator for Salford Young People’s University, and is a tantra and somatic yoga teacher and award-winning Special Educational Needs teacher. She has taught and lived in Australia, India, Poland, Israel and the USA – experiences which infuse her work.
