At Choices we see every day how mental health during and after pregnancy can shape women’s lives, families and their parenting journeys. After 25 years walking alongside women through pregnancy, loss and parenthood, we’ve learnt so much about the hidden impact it can have - and how the right support can help women overcome trauma and mental health challenges to move forward with confidence.

Book Launch: 'flamboyance' With Jack Parlett

Book Launch: 'flamboyance' With Jack Parlett

JACK PARLETT IN CONVERSATION WITH PETER SCALPELLO Flamboyance is Jack Parlett’s follow up to his acclaimed Fire Island (A Housmans bestseller of 2022). This new book has all the qualities one has come to expect of Jack’s work; big hearted and erudite in equal measure. Flamboyance ignites every aspect of our lives, from art and entertainment to ritual and protest. The word conjures exuberance and unashamed passion; in thought, expression and dress. Yet historically the term ‘flamboyant’ has been reserved for the over-the-top and the outré, invoked at times as a pejorative innuendo or worse. In his fascinating new book, Jack Parlett argues for its value as an empowering and creative force, illuminating the ways in which flamboyance is a fundamental aspect of human conduct that both marks and transcends difference. Taking in an eclectic array of examples, from Gothic architecture to the orange flowers of Dungeness, and populated by figures such as Oscar Wilde, James Baldwin, Elton John, Amy Winehouse, Lil Nas X and Chappell Roan, this is a book about flamboyant art and the art of flamboyance. And having both aspired to it and rejected it, Jack recounts his personal relationship to flamboyance while also finding new meanings of the word, exploring its surprises and contradictions, and reconnecting with its radical power. As always, tickets are priced on a sliding scale.
