YOUR SILENCE WILL NOT PROTECT YOU Audre Lorde Audre Lorde (1934-1992) described herself as ‘Black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet’. Born in New York, she had her first poem published while still at school and her last the year she died of cancer. Her extraordinary belief in the power of language - of speaking - to foster selfhood, articulate injustice and bring about change in the world remains as transformative today as it was then, and no less urgent.

This edition brings together her essential poetry, speeches and essays, including ‘The Master’s Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master’s House’, in one volume for first time.

With a preface by Reni Eddo-Lodge and an introduction by Sara Ahmed.

LARKINLAND Jonathan Tulloch “A really clever look at Larkin, at Hull, at the 1950s.” Michael Arditti, Radio 4 Arriving in 1950s Hull, Arthur Merryweather finds himself lodging with the landlady from hell, and falling in love with fellow librarian Niamh O’Leary.

But just as their love threatens to bloom the mystery of Mr Bleaney, the enigmatic insurance salesman who rented his room before him, threatens to pull the poet into disaster and cast him into the criminal hinterland of ‘fish town’, that sublimely banal Larkinland ‘beached on the mudflats at the end of the railway line, like a brick seal with a woodbine in its gob’.

HOW TO BE A POET Jo Bell & Jane Commane How to be a Poet is the brainchild of poet Jo Bell and editor Jane Commane. As a natural follow-on to the 52 Project of 2014, this book aims to help poets taking the next step in developing, working and participating in the wider creative community as a writer.

How to be a Poet combines practical advice and topical mini-essays that examine both the technical and creative dimensions of being a poet. It’s a no-nonsense manual where spanners are replaced with lots of ink, elbow grease and edits. At each step plenty of questions are asked: what makes a poem tick over perfectly, how do we get it started when it stalls, and which warning lights should you never ignore?

2017 BESTSELLERS

THESE DARKENING DAYS Benjamin Myers As autumn draws in, a series of unexplained vicious attacks occur in a small northern town renowned for being a bohemian backwater.

As the national media descends, local journalist Roddy Mace attempts to tell the story, but finds the very nature of truth brought into question. He turns to disgraced detective James Brindle for help.

When further attacks occur the shattered community becomes the focus of an accelerating media that favours immediacy over truth. Murder and myth collide in a folk-crime story about place, identity and the tangled lives of those who never leave.

I WAS BRITPOPPED: THE A-Z Jenny Natasha & Tom Boniface-Webb Britpop: it’s the only term that can accurately encompass the bright, bold sound and attitude that burst from the United Kingdom in the ’90s. Beginning with the release of Blur’s single ‘Popscene’ in 1992, peaking with Oasis’ triumphant outdoor live shows at Knebworth in 1996 and closing with Pulp’s come-down album This is Hardcore in 1998, this alternative rock subgenre grew to be one of Britain’s most impactful musical movements of the modern era.

Here, in more than 500 light-hearted but meticulously researched entries, musicians and fans Jenny Natasha and Tom Boniface-Webb pay tribute to a brief but pivotal moment in musical history; turning the spotlight on key players like Liam Gallagher, Brett Anderson, Jarvis Cocker and Damon Albarn as well as unsung heroes who fought under the red, white and blue banner in the Britpop revolution.

ANTHOLOGY OF Emma Wright

LOVE (ed.)

In The Emma Press Anthology of Love, that familiar four-letter word takes on a world of meanings. Love is written across the sky for the whole world to see, and whispered to a partner at the bus stop in the rain. Love is transcendent and love is everyday, found equally in steamy texts and shopping lists, and the only reliable thing about it is that it’s never where you expected to find it.

Building on the success of 2015’s Mildly Erotic Verse, this book explores the diversity of modern romance. Often awkward, never perfect, romantic encounters and relationships are rooted in our own contemporary world of Tinder, Twitter and TV dinners. But they are also part of an enduring tradition: the cornerstone of our common humanity.

In this book, thirty fresh, diverse and original voices speak to what love means right here, right now, bridging the gap between Hollywood imagery and modern lived experience.

FRANKIE VAH Luke Wright We all want something to believe in. It’s 1987 and Frankie Vah gorges on love, radical politics, and skuzzy indie stardom. But can he keep it all down?

Following the multi-award-winning What I Learned From Johnny Bevan, Luke Wright’s second verse play deals with love, loss, and belief, against a backdrop of skuzzy indie venues and 80s politics. Expect frenetic guitars, visceral verse, and a Morrissey-sized measure of heartache.

MORNINGRUSTLE Arno Kramer Morningrustle is the debut poetry collection from celebrated Dutch artist Arno Kramer whose work is inspired by Ireland.

“This imagination creates a mystery you can’t paraphrase. Poems put things, or create things, in a place where they, and we, have never quite been before. A concise, mysterious language alters things. The result is a wonderful fidelity to the way things may be imagined, which also suggests it might just also be the way things are, once altered, re-imagined and imaginatively transformed.”

John Brown, poet/writer

SANTIAGO SKETCHES David McLoghlin Santiago Sketches is a book of short, imagistic poems entirely set in Santiago de Compostela, where the small and the local are revealed to be universal, mirroring the process whereby this small city near Finis Terrae became central to human patrimony and declared a world heritage site by UNESCO. Since the 12th-century Codex Calixtinus—the first Camino de Santiago guidebook—many books have been written about the paths to Santiago. Santiago Sketches is one of the first books in English about living in that city to which millions have travelled, but which most arriving pilgrims depart after a brief stay.

Here, David McLoghlin uses his fluency in Spanish and galego, and his background as a Hispanist, to capture what Virginia Woolf called “moments of being”, and translate them to us.

A SHOAL OF POWAN Andrew Geary This is Andrew Geary’s first collection, but he has been widely published in magazines and competition anthologies. He won first prize in the Wells Festival of Literature Poetry Competition in 2015. He is a long time member and treasurer of the Ware Poets in Hertfordshire and also a Chartered Accountant, based in Enfield.

“Andrew Geary’s first collection is intelligent and engaging, his serious themes often leavened with a wry, understated humour. He peoples this selection of poems with the vulnerable and tragic, the displaced and dispossessed – entering and understanding his subjects’ emotions and feelings in a profound way. This is compassionate, thoughtful and compelling writing – a collection I can thoroughly recommend.”

“Raw, poignant, wrenching, and deeply courageous, this beautiful collection of poetry took my breath away. Each poem is a gift, wrapped in luminous, lyrical verse.

Standing firmly in her own truth, Fitzgerald takes us on a tour de force of the human condition, the search for self, and Ireland’s shameful treatment of the unmarried mother and her child. As an adoptee, I wept many times as I read this stunning collection, but it is the universality of these devastating poems that grants them their power. Fearless, Fitzgerald takes us on a journey of love, loss, death, abandonment and grief. Despite the inherent pain in these poems, she never surrenders to self-pity. With near-invisible artistry, Fitzgerald weaves agonizing loss into redemptive power and ensures that love breathes on every page.”

PROPHETS Kwame Dawes As 24-hour television, belching out the swaggering voices of American hellfire preachers, competes with dancehall, slackness and ganja for Jamaican minds, Clarice and Thalbot preach their own conflicting visions. Clarice has used her gifts to raise herself from the urban Jamaican ghetto. She basks in the adulation of her followers as they look to her for their personal salvation.

Thalbot has fallen from comfort and security onto the streets. With his wild, matted hair and nakedness, he is a deranged voice in the wilderness. Whilst Clarice has her blue-eyed Jesus, Thalbot brandishes his blackness in the face of every passer-by.

Clarice’s visions give her power; Thalbot is at the mercy of every wandering spirit.

But when, under cover of darkness, Clarice ‘sins’ on the beach, Thalbot alone knows of her fall. He sets out to journey, like Jonah, to denounce the prophetess and warn the Ninevite city of its coming doom. An epic struggle begins...

A new editon of the classic book by Kwame Dawes.

CITY OF BONES Kwame Dawes “City of Bones is a poet’s testament, his vision of time’s past and future. Composed in a language that is highly intelligent, tightly wrought, and buoyant—the inherent lyric quality derives its swing from reggae, blues, jazz, gospel, and spoken-word traditions—it is a road map tarred in civilizational wisdom. This is an astonishingly fine book. If I were to predict a future Nobel Prize winner in literature, it would more than likely be Kwame Dawes.”

Sudeep Sen, editor of The HarperCollins Book of English Poetry

“This testament is one of the remarkable books of contemporary English-language letters. I celebrate Dawes and his achievement, and in doing so celebrate all those who have a space in his poems and all those who are able to tune into his remarkable music, intellect, and spirit.”

VACANT POSSESSION Anne Fitzgerald

MIGRANT SHORES Manuela Palacios (ed.)

“Migrant Shores, in threading together Moroccan, Irish and Galician poetry, unflinchingly renders in many different dimensions the burdens and longing of the migrant and works to countermand the failure of Western societies to open themselves to those who are stateless and without a home. This luminous, multi-voiced anthology of original texts, translations and responses suggests that poetry is a quintessentially migrant art, attuned to the roving perspectives and linguistic richness of the Other. This beguiling collection provides a sheltering sky for poems about migrancy in Arabic, Galician and English, allowing them to intertwine, resonate with and sometimes painfully cut across each other.”

Anne Fogarty, University College Dublin

FIREFLIES Luis Sagasti How do we even begin to narrate the history of the world? Where do we start, and where do we end? Fireflies is Luis Sagasti’s bold and original attempt to answer these questions.

Taking an eclectic array of influences and personalities from modern history, he teases out events that at first glance seem random and insignificant and proceeds to weave them together masterfully, entertaining as he enlightens. Joseph Beuys, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Stanley Kubrick, Neil Armstrong, Wittgenstein, Glenn Miller and the Beatles; poets and authors, priests, astronauts and Russian sailors all make an appearance, and Sagasti finds common threads to bind their stories together.

Using his unique, poetic and keenly observant style, Sagasti turns the accidents of history into a single, lyrical constellation, and for the reader it’s an extraordinary sight.

SOUTHERLY Jorge Consiglio On the eve of an important battle, a colonel is visited in his tent by an indigenous woman with a message to pass on. A man sets about renovating the house of his childhood, and starts to feel that he might be rebuilding his own life in the process.

At a private clinic to treat the morbidly obese, a caregiver has issues of her own...

Acclaimed writer and poet Jorge Consiglio presents a universe of seemingly unrelated tales, linked perhaps by a certain rhythm in the prose or subtle dimensions of violence and perversion. These are stories of immigration, marginality, history, intimacy and obsession which are masterful and deeply touching, domestic yet universal.

Southerly is a perfect introduction to what has been called ‘the Consiglian logic of story-telling’ (Cabezón Cámara), in which events don’t always occur sequentially, and where the reader quickly learns to tiptoe between the tiniest of details, as if they formed a minefield.

In this boundary-breaking collection of short stories, Yang Zhengguang, the dark horse of contemporary Chinese literature, unflinchingly dissects the passions and sexual mores of the past. By his own admission, he aims to “unsettle” the reader with black humour and filmic vividness, enticing them into a world where vendettas, humiliation, grave-robbing and murder are an integral part of everyday life in a rural Chinese province untethered from reality.

These stories, available in English for the first time, include the inspiration for the 2001 film How Harry Became a Tree, for which Serbian director Goran Paskaljevic relocated the action to 1920s Ireland; and for which Colm Meaney, starring alongside Cillian Murphy, won an Irish Film & Television Award for Best Actor.

Now, this intriguing volume is set to introduce Yang Zhengguang’s unique view of 20th-century China to a whole new global audience.

CROCUS KING Bryan Hewitt E.A. (‘Gussie’) Bowles was one of Britain’s great gardeners. His Handbook of Crocus and Colchicum and the My Garden trilogy are still used by gardeners around the world and his garden at Myddelton House, Enfield, continues to attract many visitors. He was also a talented artist and a warm-hearted supporter of the local community.

Bryan Hewitt - himself a gardener at Myddelton House - has made a sympathetic biography of the whole man, illustrated with some of Gussie’s own paintings, and an introduction by his great-nephew, Brigadier Andrew Parker Bowles.

ON AND OFF PARNASSUS William Oxley “I may be the only poet in Britain to have been thumped in the chest by a drunken Poet Laureate. Whom I will not name, if only for my own safety! In discussion with the said laureate at a London party, I made the observation that ‘I didna ken you wes Scottish?’ I spoke in my best imitation Scots’ accent, transforming myself into a stage Scotsman for a laureate whose accent was not remotely Scottish. My only reward being the aforesaid ‘thumping’. Though I must add that, having just discovered the laureate’s Scottish connection, I also was somewhat inebriated.”

Since publication of his autobiography, No Accounting for Paradise, the mystery and excitement presented by his fellow humans has led William Oxley away from self to an attempt to portray others through anecdotes, collected here.

“On and Off Parnassus vividly evokes the eccentric pleasures and mortifications of a life well spent among the poets.”

KWAME DAWES’S PROPHETS Jeremy Poynting (ed).

Set in Jamaica in the late 1980s and 1990s, Prophets is a poem of rhythmic and metaphoric inventiveness, which “loads every rift… with ore.” It brings together an exacting a portrayal of the social and cultural resonances of Jamaican society with a soaring mythopoeic imagination that explores the tension between an ebullient cynicism and a heartfelt desire for faith.

Jeremy Poynting’s illuminating and entertaining introduction and notes offers a user friendly guide to Kwame Dawes’s Jamaican poetic masterpiece.

HOW TO DISAPPEAR COMPLETELY Si Smith Is it possible to disappear in a world where everyone is connected by technology? The unnamed everyman at the heart of illustrator Si Smith’s debut graphic novel manages to leave his life behind after the death of his father, but escaping his own thoughts proves more problematic. As his outer world diminishes, his inner world takes over, emerging through ever more elaborate murals on the dank walls of the deserted inner-city office he calls home.

With its multi-layered illustrations of contemporary Leeds, using real locations and real people, How to Disappear Completely provides an intriguing, previously uncharted landscape that bears repeated exploration. There’s something new to discover with every reading, about art, theology, pop culture and music, and how they can each shed a little light in dark times and provide fleeting but crucial hints of hope.

IF THE SYMPTOMS PERSIST Francis Combes If modern French poetry began with Rimbaud’s observation that ‘je est un autre,’ Francis Combes believes that poets should now say, ‘je suis tous les autres’.

Drawing on the tradition of Hugo and Aragon, the idea of une poésie d’utilité publique runs through Francis Combes stunning new collection, from poèmes sans domicile fixe to poèmes moraux et politiques.

It is a book about poverty, homelessness, inequality, racism and the endless wars of the twenty-first century. It’s a book of gentle humour and savage irony. It is that rare thing, a collection of poetry that is both useful and necessary.

LANDSCAPE WITH MUTANT Frederick Pollack “Poetry is about something,” according to Fred Pollack. “A strong poem is about something that is important, but which is not perceived by the ideologies of its time or expressible in their language.”

The poems in Landscape with Mutant are about US life before and during the Trump presidency, with its alienation, violence, and political despair. In this dystopian landscape, “the weak exist to be trodden and those who are trodden are weak.”

It is a book about casual racism, sharp-suited Fascism and the complicity of liberals – “wrinkled, blobby, obsolete, like me” – in the assault on equality and justice.

Between the narrow horizons of the mainstream (“Have parents and write about them”) and the games of the academic avant-garde, Fred Pollack makes strong poetry about something important. “You can be certain you’re an enemy,” he writes; “it’s your choice whether also to be a threat.”

WHISTLE Martin Figura “Martin Figura’s riveting sequence of poems about his childhood, his father killing his mother, and the consequences of that upon the whole family is remarkable for the story he doesn’t tell, as much as for the story he does. Exercising a humanising restraint, delicately balanced, these poems are an attempt to excise memory, to fill in some of the missing gaps, but the sense one is left with most of all is absence and loss. Moving, brave unsentimental, Whistle doesn’t blow the whistle on the family.

Instead it rather heartbreakingly tries to piece together the fragments of a life, shattered by murder. Sometimes lyrical, rarely angry, often tender, Figura’s soul mate throughout is the understanding and watchful eye of the camera: ‘One day I shall hold them with white gloves,/carefully brush away the dust and look/through their shadows and fingerprints.”

Before Lyricism includes six book-length poems: “The Forest” (1954), “Plant Upbringing” (1956), “Diary of Age” (1958), “Description of the Body” (1959), “The Meaning of the Blind” (1962), and “Our Way of Being in Danger” (1966). Each of these, apart from “Plant Upbringing,” was published as a separate book, which Elani Vakalo herself designed. (“Plant Upbringing” was originally included in the volume Wall Painting, of which Vakalo later repudiated all but this single long poem.) For Vakalo, these poems formed a larger, accretive whole, which she titled Prin Apo Ton Lyrismo (Before Lyricism). By bringing these poems together under a single cover, Before Lyricism allows us to see the complex web of intertextual relations that bind these books together. Meanwhile, by bringing these poems into English, this volume will enrich not only our knowledge of this key period in Vakalo’s career, but English-language readers’ understanding of modern Greek poetry as a whole.

KHOLIN 66 Igor Kholin Kholin 66 is a trampoline into underground Soviet poet Igor Kholin’s life and work through the window of a single autumn. In a string of acerbically related non-adventures excerpted from his 1966 diary, Kholin moves to the country, sleeps a lot, drinks and debauches among Moscow’s literary underground, and eventually moves back to the city. Broke and bitter, he details his bemusement in terse, absurdist prose.

The selection of Kholin’s poems features self-deprecating self-portraits, bleak views of the Moscow outskirts, and strange visions of life on other planets. llustrated with Ripley Whiteside’s drawings of Kholin and his friends.

NATURAL PHENOMENA Meryl Pugh A city lies in ruins. Spires topple, planes fall. Rubble is broken by wildflower. Birdsong and chatter cut through.

Discover the urban wild in Meryl Pugh’s debut collection. Join the poet as flaneuse wandering the city’s hidden spaces to encounter its flora and fauna; its many-voiced song.

A book of witnessing and overhearing, Natural Phenomena asks where the beauty is in the city of plastic, wire and glass; holds a mirror up to the self and asks how we contend with loss and absence in a constantly bustling environment.

NEW TO INPRESS

SPOILS James Brookes In Spoils James Brookes advances a lyrical, frank and unsparing consideration of the England in which we find ourselves. While retaining the historical interest and folkloric reinvention of his spectacular debut Sins of the Leopard, Brookes has clarified his poetic concerns into the less comfortable questions of freedom and liberty.

Here is the weirdness of heraldry, the intrigue of politics and war, finely drawn by a poet with an eye for texture and material; from time to time, in Brookes’s bestiary, we glimpse something dazzling in the corner of our eye. Everywhere in Spoils there is struggle, conflict, but the pantheon of strivers that Brookes employs assert his skill as a poet of high humanity, unshakeable conviction, and a consummate talent.

WORKING CLASS VOODOO Bobby Parker Bobby Parker’s Working Class Voodoo is an enterprise of dark metaphysics which exists in the same tradition as Thomas de Quincey and Elizabeth Bishop.

Punishing, plaintive, improper, vitally comic, Parker employs a vibrato narrative deeply concerned with the cost of both journey and arrival, with the irresistible darkness of both humour and tragedy in contrast and counter to one another. Our unreliability, our addictions and our weaknesses are both indulged and confronted.

Yet where such commitment to the uncovering of artifice might be expected to provoke disdain, Parker’s singing faith in human love is what these poems reveal.

What is lost will be recovered, and what was thought impossible will be achieved, no matter the darkness, no matter the weight. Working Class Voodoo is a confessional and a challenge, and a swampy, seductive ride into the night.

CUMSHOT IN D MINOR Melissa Lee-Houghton In Cumshot in D Minor by Meslissa Lee-Houghton revisits the perils of sexuality, threat and persistence that have made her not only one of the most-read of the Next Generation Poets, but also one of the most controversial and gripping poets of our time.

The barest facts of sex and aggression are examined in Lee-Houghton’s typically fierce style, but she also enacts a dry and sly wit in these considerations, prompting laughter in the dark as well as fear. These intimate, hard pieces reward rereading, and mark a brilliant next step in the career of one of our most fearless poets.

FOCUS ON...

THE GLASS AISLE Paul Henry From the sea of the poet’s childhood to the stillness of a canal walked in middle age, The Glass Aisle moves between rage and stillness, past and present, music and silence. In the book’s title poem, a telephone engineer repairs a line that crosses a canal to the site of an old workhouse. Tormented by the voices of former “inmates”, he unwittingly connects the centuries, setting free the Victorian ghosts of poacher John Moonlight, lone parent Mary Thomas, and a host of others who haunt the poem’s present-day walker.

Lyrical and humane in its observations, The Glass Aisle is rich in the hallmarks readers have come to admire in Henry’s poetry.

WAY MORE THAN LUCK Ben Wilkinson From the thumping heartbeat of the distance runner to the roar of football terraces across the decades, Ben Wilkinson’s debut poetry collection, Way More Than Luck, confronts the struggles and passions that come to shape a life. Beginning with an unflinching interrogation of experiences of clinical depression and the redemptive power of art and running, the collection centres on a series of vivid character portraits, giving life to the legends of Liverpool Football Club. By turns frank, comic, sinister and meditative – ‘the trouble with you, son, is that all your brains are in your head’ – these poems uncover the beautiful game’s magic and absurdity, hopes and disappointments, as striking metaphors for our everyday dramas. Elsewhere there are tender love poems, political satire and strange dream worlds, in an urgently lyrical book of poems that take many forms and modes of address: pantoum, sonnet, sestina; epistle, confession, dramatic monologue. All are united by a desire to speak with searching clarity about matters of the heart. Way More Than Luck is a book that shows how pain comes to define our happiness; how we keep on in a world of chance, uncertainty and change.

January, 1890 — Britain threatens Portugal with an ultimatum: Abandon south-east Africa or face a naval bombardment of Lisbon.

Three centuries earlier, the poet Luís de Camões described the region at issue — Behold the lake which is the Nile’s source.

And the green Zambezi, too, begins its course.

Further upstream, the river becomes serpentine, twisting itself into a vast swamp, known to Europeans as Elephant Marsh, choked with papyrus, monstrous baobabs, and marabou storks like coffins. Every mud bank has a gang of crocodiles, the air thick with mosquitoes and the nearest horizon a tousled fringe of swamp palms.

Could the European powers go to war over such a wilderness?

WOMEN WHO SING Patricia Hammond Parlour songs were the pop hits of the Victorian era – and some of the biggest hit-makers of the day were women. Barred from positions in universities, cathedrals and orchestras, this intimate, home-based musical genre was their only outlet. Sadly, their extraordinary contribution has largely been forgotten, overlooked by historians and marginalised in the timeline of music.

Now, however, singer Patricia Hammond is putting the record – or, rather, the sheet music – straight, telling tuneful tales of political reform, personal empowerment and the unique role women played in a fascinating period of British musical history.

CINNAMON PRESS

The Cinnamon Pamphlet series has now been running for three years and has profuced some of their best selling poetry titles. Authors are chosen through their annual competition to find outstanding new poetry and their allaimed mentorship programme for emerging writers. They’ve recently added to this with occasional special edition pamphlets, like Nick Jones’ Night Journey, which includes original aquatints.

The rationale is to give space to two strands within their poetry list. One strand is those highly focused projects that demand a beautifully produced slim volume rather than a longer full collection. The other is to give a first platform to new poets, giving them the confidence to build their writing portfolios. The simple shared design in house colours has become a signature for voices to watch for and are perfect for people looking to try something new.

KEY TITLE

TALKING TO WOMEN Nell Dunn With an introduction from Ali Smith.

In 1964, Nell Dunn spoke to nine of her friends over a bottle of wine about men, sex, work, money, babies, freedom and love. Novelist Edna O’Brien remembers being ‘very frightened’ of having her nipples touched. The Pop Artist Pauline Boty says she got married to the ‘first man I could talk very freely to’. Kathy Collier, who Dunn worked with in a Battersea sweet factory, confesses that she had thought about suicide. After more than forty years out of print, Talking to Women is still as sparkling, honest, profound, funny and wise as when it was first published. With a new afterword by Nell Dunn.

“Nell Dunn’s work has a freshness, a rsthand observation, that is very di erent from its slick commercial copies, from the standardised versions of soap opera and sitcom. If there is a myth here, a myth of escape and liberation, it is a positive one, an enlarging one.”

Margaret Drabble “Nell Dunn has always specialised in listening to women talking. To do this successfully means a delicate sense of time and place, and she is an artist in both.

REAL GROWN UP WOMEN Samantha Boarer A poetry collection focusing on what it is to become a ‘Real Grown-Up Woman’ in the twenty-first century. Each poem is a reckless navigation through the obstacle course of a modern twenty-something female with such hurdles including dating, cancelling plans and the vagina’s varying PH levels.

A mix of sex and social inabilities, Samantha Boarer’s poetry will woo you, make you feel uncomfortable, but will never leave you feeling unsatisfied. Presenting self deprecating humour, this collection turns serious situations on their heads to reveal the absurdity of it all. An incredibly honest account of what it’s like to be a grown up single woman.

Tender poems about childhood and family mingle with highly irreverent performance pieces honed on the spoken word and stand up comedy circuits.

Seigal’s poetry conveys an infatuation with the intricacy and possibility of words, and issues of Love and Loathing are dealt with in equal measure.

In Trace Elements, his first collection for eight years, Nigel Forde takes us on a quintessentially English journey through life and memory, exploring love, landscape, music and those difficult moments we all share but few can put into words. Though there is great sadness along the way, it is beautifully balanced with fine humour – the yin and yang of a life well-lived.

This powerful collection of poems deals with the darker side of childhood and throws light on the sinuous intricacies of music; a subject notoriously difficult to write about, but tackled here in several illuminating sections. It is also, at its heart, a paean to the English landscape; its beauty, its mystery and its soul-soothing qualities.

A FEAST OF FOOLS Terry Gifford Who are the fools in our world of climate change? Certainly the author, he admits, in this seriously playful, long-awaited eighth collection. Terry Gifford’s poems wryly celebrate people both joyously at home in their landscapes and slightly uneasy about what is happening around them.

The first section, ‘Flights of the Fool’, is culled from fifteen years of travels, geographical and emotional. In the second section the Fool is in his village in the mountains of Spain, trying to make sense of changing landscapes and old traditions.

‘The Guizer’ is the Fool of English tradition, seeking sustaining connections in people and places, the species and processes of the familiar everyday.

Theo Dorgan is one of the best known Irish poets of his generation. Born in Cork in 1953, he is the author of many collections of poems including Greek (2010) and Nine Bright Shiners (2014) which won the Irish Times Poetry Now Award.

These are poems in which the suppleness of language is as shifting as the sea. Full of energy and passion, this outstanding collection is once again enhanced by the Pat Gregory’s astonishingly rich and complex illustrations. A tour de force from a poet previously described by Jonathan Balcombe as ‘a national treasure’ and hailed as ‘capable of grasping something vast, ancient, chthonic …’ by Jay Griffiths.

THE WOUND John Kinsella The premise the author uses to make his very strong point against state interference and the decimation of a fragile environment is a two-section work of thoughtful poetry. In the first section, John Kinsella assumes the identity of the mythical Irish king Suibhne (aka Sweeney). Following in the footsteps of Eliot and Heaney, the author uses the character of Sweeney to challenge the authroities in his native Western Australian outback to realize the extreme mischief of ignoring the natural order. Sweeney affords a narrative that roams across the landscape, at once inclusive and outrageous.

In the second part, taking the work of German Romantic poet Friedrich Hölderlin and making versions of his own, Kinsella cleverly dovetails his own work and his obsession with the ecology of his homeland, with the single-mindedness of an eighteenth-century poet who was famous both for isolating himself for 36 years in a tower in the small town of Tübingen, and for producing works of enormous power and impact.

BUTTERFLY VALLEY Sherko Bekes (Choman Hardi trans.)

The late 1980s witnessed two devastating chemical attacks by the Saddam regime on Iraqi Kurdistan. The first of these, in 1988, known as the Anfal campaign, saw the destruction of 3000 Kurdish villages, over 40 chemical attacks launched, and 100,000 civilians buried in mass graces, with hundreds more dying of exposure to chemical weapons. The second attack was on the town of Halabja where over 5000 people died.

Butterfly Valley is Sherko Bekas’ response to these atrocities. Stunned by the world’s silence in the face of this genocide, Bekas – in exile in Sweden at the time – longs to go home and mourn the victims. This long poem unfolds in beautifully drawn images of the poet’s homeland which are juxtaposed with scenes of death, destruction and suffering. This is an immensely powerful poem, at once lyrical and heart-rending, and Choman Hardi’s fine translation at last gives the English-speaking reader the most extensive example yet of his outstanding writing.

IT COULD BE WORSE Margarita García Robayo Uncomfortable family situations, unfortunate health conditions, people on the brink of survival – this is what each story in this collection captures, every ripple and every echo that travels from one person to another. With narrative ease and a seductive pull, Margarita García Robayo reminds us that sometimes intimate struggles are as fragile as they are political, and there is nothing but time that keeps us going.

A refreshing and luminous novella, It Could Be Worse can be read as a flamed rite of passage novel but also as a story of a turn against the what one’s country makes you dream for. Longing to get out of the coastal village where she lives, an ambitious girl thinks up the best plan for escape: becoming a flight attendant. In her cynical and sad voice and a dark, dirty city, we find the other side of the happy Caribbean.

A story that ponders the destiny of its characters in the middle of catastrophes that can be real, self-provoked or the result of an intelligent strategy.

In the Paris of 1970, the hippie revolution has yet to crash land and Minnette searches hungrily for a way to enlightenment. She finds it. Or she finds something and the path of her life is set. But, by the beginning of the 21st Century, Minnette is haunted by the shades of recurring dreams and recurring memories, unsure whether the city around her is as solid as it appears. She looks back on her life’s search — and on that a winter’s evening in Toledo when, for a moment, the gates to another world may have opened — and feels the defeat of a life thrown away.

But something moves in the shadows, something that comes closer each evening.

Combining a mind-spinning vision of another reality just a step away from our own with searing character study and sensual, impressionist prose, In Dreams the Minotaur Appears Last is the latest novel from the author of the ground-breaking anti-novel Vitus Dreams and the acclaimed short story collection, High City Walk.

THE ICE MIGRATION Jacqueline Crooks The stories in this collection move around in time and place, but are linked by the experiences of the descendants of a Jamaican family of mixed Indian and African heritage.

From Roaring River in rural Jamaica in 1908 where the descendants of African slaves make connections with new arrivals from Calcutta to work in the sugar cane fields, to Southall in 2013, where the Millers live alongside newer migrants from India, the Ice Migration is a poetic exploration of movement as central to the human condition.

The people of Jacqueline Crooks’ stories are deeply enmeshed in their African/ Indian Jamaican world of dreams, visions, duppies and spiritual presences that connect them across time and place. What they discover beyond the strangeness of change of place and the hostilities they encounter is that life remains defined by its common crises – of birth, the complications of sexuality, sickness, old age, and death – and the comforts of food, stories and memory.

May is a poignant exploration of memory, history and the burden of the past. It is a story that is just as much about the things that stay with us as the things we forget.

Based on his own experiences, Alen Meskovic has written a novel by turns humorous and tragic. His novel is lively, poetic, raw, affecting and very funny, all the while depicting a European tragedy whose consequences are still with us today.

Its subject and resonant style have made Ukulele Jam a European success. It has been translated into German, Croatian, Hungarian and Slovenian, and is being developed as a film in Germany, where it is also a long-running theatre production.

CEASE UPON MIDNIGHT Jo Mazelis It’s the 1970s, and a mysterious woman has a cache of letters to sell. They claim to tell the story of the death of Fanny Imlay, half-sister of Mary Shelley and daughter of Mary Wollstonecraft. Did she really commit suicide in an inn in Swansea in 1816, as historians thought? The letters instead suggest a faked death and an escape from a fraught family life. It could have been an independence of which Fanny’s mother would have been proud. But the letters also suggest the re-born Fanny remained misunderstood, mis-used and rejected.

The intertwining narratives reflect on each other as the mysteries multiply and resolve. Gothic body-swaps, dark mansions and unexpected deaths merge with seventies politics and feminism to reveal the lives of two women, historically different yet in many ways the same.

Cease Upon Midnight is an extraordinary take on the classic gothic novel by Jerwood Fiction Uncovered prize-winner Jo Mazelis.

OCCASIONAL VEGAN Sarah Philpott Here are 100 simple, tasty and fun recipes, which will appeal newcomers and long-time vegans alike and keep them well-fed and healthy. In The Occasional Vegan, Sarah Philpott’s recipes are accompanied by the story of her journey to becoming a vegan. In it she explores the ethical and lifestyle arguments for a plant-based diet through her own experience of turning vegan at thirty. Growing numbers of people are making the same journey and the number of vegans is up 350% in the past decade.

Drawing on Philpott’s blog the book is divided into four sections: The Working Week: quick meals for busy people; Something for the Weekend: lazy brunches and Sunday lunches; High Days and Holidays: special occasions like birthdays, Christmas and Easter; Comfort Food and Children’s Favourites.

Health, affordability, the environment, animal welfare: there are many reasons for becoming a vegan – or becoming more vegan – and in The Occasional Vegan Sarah Philpott shows how to do it, in the kitchen and in life.

INTRODUCING...

CHARCO PRESS

NEW TO INPRESS

SLUM VIRGIN Gabriela Cabezón Cámara (Frances Riddle trans.)

The slums of Buenos Aires, the government, the mafia, the Virgin Mary, corrupt police officers, prostitutes, transvestites, thieves, drug dealers, cumbia music and debauchery all combine in this sweeping novel deemed to be a ‘revelation for contemporary literature’ and ‘pure dynamite’ (Andrés Neuman, author of Traveller of the Century & Talking to Ourselves, Pushkin Press).

Slum Virgin tells the larger-than-life story of Cleopatra, a transvestite who renounces prostitution after the Virgin Mary appears before her. Following the divine messages she receives, Cleo takes charge of the shantytown she lives in, transforming it into a tiny utopia. Ambitious journalist Quity knows she’s found the story of the year when she hears about it, but her life is changed forever once she steps into the shantytown and finds herself irrevocably seduced by the captivating subject of her article.

THE PRESIDENT’S ROOM Ricardo Romero (Charlotte Coombe trans.)

In a nameless suburb in an equally nameless country, every house has a room reserved for the president. No one knows when or why this came to be. It’s simply how things are, and no one seems to question it except for one young boy.

The room is kept clean and tidy, nobody talks about it and nobody is allowed to use it. It is for the president and no one else. But what if he doesn’t come? And what if he does? As events unfold, the reader is kept in the dark about what’s really going on. So much so, in fact, that we begin to wonder if even the narrator can be trusted . . .

CHARCO PRESS | £8.99 | 9781999722722 PB | 96PP | 4 SEPTEMBER 2017

DIE, MY LOVE Ariana Harwicz (Sarah Moses & Carolina Orloff trans.)

In a forgotten patch of French countryside, a woman is battling her demons – embracing exclusion yet wanting to belong, craving freedom whilst feeling trapped, yearning for family life but at the same time wanting to burn the entire house down. Given surprising leeway by her family for her increasingly erratic behaviour, she nevertheless feels ever more stifled and repressed.

Motherhood, womanhood, the banality of love, the terrors of desire, the inexplicable brutality of ‘another person carrying your heart forever’ – Die, My Love faces all this with a raw intensity. It’s not a question of if a breaking point will be reached, but rather when and how violent a form will it take?

BOILER HOUSE POETS

Boiler House Poets is an exciting new series of contemporary poetry from Norwich-based indie publisher Boiler House Press. These remarkable, highly-collectible and exquisitely designed titles feature some of the very best poetry being written right now, from new and emerging as well as well-established names.

LATANOPROST VARIATIONS by Jeff Hilson [9781911343189 | £10.99]

Beginning with an extended riff involving the glorified music search engine Spotify and ending with the ongoing and ignored tragedy of European migration, these prose poems address a range of historic and contemporary particulars including Rolf Harris, ripoff payday loan sharks, English football grounds, world shipping, the endangered flora & fauna of the British Isles and singer-(not)songwriter Art Garfunkel.

TEN THOUSAND THINGS by Emily Critchley [9781911343172 | £10.99]

Ten Thousand Things is about motherhood. Also it is about the equipmentality of woman in/to society in general. It is about parenting as labour; poetry as labour; labour as poetry; poetry as thought; thinking as poetry; protest as labour; poetry as protest; and our perennially changing, perennially stuck hereditary lines. It is for warrior-women. It is for girly-men. It is for all persons, animals, plants in between. It is about love. It is about fear. It is about doubt. It is about hope.

ON FATHERS < ON DAUGHTYRS by Tim Atkins [9781911343202 | £10.99]

ON FATHERS < ON DAUGHTYRS is a poetry collection written by a father about the father-daughter relationship. In a brand new poetics of the transcendent domestic, which combines the styles of The New York School and Britain’s Tom Raworth, slapstick and tragedy coexist on every page. Poet George Oppen asked the question; “My daughter, my daughter, what can I say of living?” Atkins’ happy poem is a 120-page answer: “Come down here right now/ & get your snot off the ceiling.”

WORD/WORLD by Marianne Morris [9781911343219 | £10.99]

This is a book of three registers, in three sections, which constitute a progression, through language, from the unruly, abstracted language of trauma, into a more integrated and embodied approach to a language that inhabits an awakened body in the present tense. The fabric of WORD/WORLD spans heirloom seeds, police murders, witch burning, Ayahuasca tourism, shamanism, the asteroid Chiron, soul mates, alchemical principles, plant medicine, tantric sex, gangster rap and the end of American Apparel.

CLICK & COLLECT by Colin Herd [9781911343196 | £10.99]

This collection is a sequence of poems that explores the shape and shaping of consumerism, internet culture, queerness and emotion. How do we brand the world around us and how does it brand us? It gives advice on how to frighten your friends, weighs up the pros and cons of cream jeans, questions the efficacy of algae as a face mask, gives dental hygiene tips and ideas for floral arrangements.
