POOLE, U.K. - s4story -- P-Wave Press is pleased to announce the forthcoming publication of Pushing the Wave 2024, the latest volume in L.A. Davenport's ongoing annual series of essays, cultural commentary, and travel writing. The book will be published in paperback and hardback editions on 26 March 2026.

Following Pushing the Wave 2017–2022 and Pushing the Wave 2023, this new volume gathers Davenport's writing from across 2024, exploring creativity, culture, memory, and connection in a rapidly shifting world. The essays move fluidly between the personal and the political, examining subjects as varied as the search for "flow" in everyday life, the pull of limerence, the implications of artificial intelligence, education, freedom, and the rituals of modern cultural life.

Interwoven throughout the text are drawings and photographic essays that root these reflections in place. Pushing the Wave 2024 ranges widely — from the Amalfi Coast, Athens, Barcelona, and Paris to Cuba, Houston, Northern Ireland, and the landscapes of England — offering a richly textured sense of movement, observation, and belonging.

While the visual material plays an important role, the heart of the book remains the writing itself: thoughtful, searching, and often quietly provocative. Together, text and image form a portrait of a year lived attentively, shaped by curiosity and a sustained engagement with the world.

Pushing the Wave 2024 continues P-Wave Press's commitment to publishing literary work that resists easy categorisation, combining essay, travel writing, and visual storytelling in carefully produced editions.
