Second Place Rosette is a calendar of the customs, rituals and practices that make up life in modern Britain. The poems take in maypole dancing, mehndi painting, and medical prescriptions. Some events, like the Jewish Sabbath, happen every week; some, like the putting away of Christmas decorations, thankfully come only once a year. The subjects range from the universal to the personal: every family might have its own ritual, and each culture its own important figures to remember and commemorate. In the introduction, co-editor Emma Wright notes how, as the daughter of a refugee, she felt deeply disturbed by current discourse about Britishness and how it seems impossible to separate talk of national identity and pride from talk of exclusion and isolation. Against that divisive rhetoric, Wright and co-editor Richard OBrien have assembled a refreshingly inclusive take on national identity. Poets from different cultural backgrounds speak to their sense of what Britain means through their own daily lived experience, through what they care about on a grass-roots level. The nation which emerges from the poems is a patchwork quilt of betting tips and TV dinners, nights out on Bold Street and strolls in the park. While the years pass, the seasons cycle, and the people who make up the country change, these poets reveal how much stays the same. In Britain, there will always be a man running late who really should have been allowed to get the bus, and a warm spot by the fire in a pub in December. Much of the book displays an ambivalence towards the land and its rituals, but there is also love, affection and pride. Mixed feelings: what could be more British than that?

In the introduction to his selection of some of the greatest sonnets ever written, Paul Muldoon reminds us that of the innumerable traditional verse forms, the sonnet is not only the most persistent but also the most pervasive. He suggests that part of the reason for the durability of the sonnet is its very duration. Its the perfect length for what Dante Gabriel Rossetti described as a moments monument, or Edna St. Vincent Millay as putting chaos into fourteen lines. Among the diverting and diverse poets represented here are Elizabeth Bishop, Wanda Coleman, John Donne, Terrance Hayes, John Keats, Claude McKay, Christina Rossetti, William Shakespeare, Patricia Smith, William Wordsworth, and W.B. Yeats. There are also translations by Paul Muldoon of sonnets by Charles Baudelaire, Rainer Maria Rilke, Cesar Vallejo, as well as the doughty duo of Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud.

Smith, writer and editor of Black Bough Poetry.Sanctuary is urgent. The pandemic has made people crave it; political crises are denying it to millions; the earth is no longer our haven.

Angela Graham & 5 other poets from Wales & Northern Ireland explore Sanctuary from the inside, asking how we can save the earth, ourselves and others?

That, roughly described, was our initial sensation on seeing the work of Kym Deyn, Estelle Price and Fathima Zahra. Each, in their unique ways, have that uncanny ability to recast what you thought you knew, as they make you look then look again at who we are, how we live, and what we might be." Rishi Dastidar
