I go the zoo half because I like looking at the animals and half because I like looking at the people... The pleasure of dappled things, the beauty of adaptation to purpose, the glory of extravagance, classic elegance or romantic nonsense and grotesquerie - all these we get from the Zoo.In 1938 Louis MacNeice published his second collection of poems with Faber; his personal essayModern Poetry for OUP; and Zoo, a prose commission from Michael Joseph to write an impressionistic guide to the London Zoo in Regents Park. Envisioned as a breezy assignment MacNeices Zoo inevitably became a richer endeavour, taking in side-trips to Paris and Belfast. Zoo also benefited from illustrations by the painter Nancy Sharp, with whom MacNeice had begun an affair after moving to London in 1936.This Faber Finds edition returns to circulation a delightful rarity by one of the twentieth centurys most brilliant poets.

Don Patersons new collection of poetry starts from the premise that the crisis of mid-life may be a permanent state of mind. Zonal is an experiment in science-fictional and fantastic autobiography, with all of its poems taking their imaginative cue from the first season of The Twilight Zone (1959-1960), playing fast and loose with both their source material and their authors own life. Narrative and dramatic in approach, genre-hopping from horror to Black Mirror-style sci-fi, weird tale to metaphysical fantasy, these poems change voices constantly in an attempt to get at the truth by alternate means. Occupying the shadowlands between confession and invention, Zonal takes us to places and spaces that feel endlessly surprising, uncanny and limitless.

I like the way good food and diction go together so clearly. Geographically [these poems] excel, and in so many other directions too. The poems are different to what one normally gets in English, the issues far bigger, as in "Dhimmi Under Sharia Law" (A Lawyers Poem) and in many others that one may benefit from. Such excellent poems show how different customs can nevertheless blend, especially in, "We Speak English Now." I also very much like, "That I May Know You:""Let me visit your houise/and eat something/of what is on your table/hear you and know/some of your language." Alan Sillitoe

A complex work of many layers these thought provoking and deftly crafted poems are a playful and powerful examination of identity, sexuality, heritage and family dynamic.

In You have no normal country to return to, Tom Sastry explores questions of national identity and the end of history. A blistering, bleakly funny and timely second poetry collection, following his Seamus Heaney First Collection Prize shortlisted, A Mans House Catches Fire.By turns crisply satirical and questioning, You have no normal country toreturn to ranges across the legacies of Empire, postwar migration and the current crisis in English identity. Sastrys precise, brilliantly attuned poetry asks how the times we live in and the tales we tell about them affect us; how our emotional landscapes are shaped by national myths and the more personal stories we tell about ourselves. It is a book about illusion, and discovering, again and again, that what was once taken for granted was never really there; a guidebook for an age of "enchantments collapsing on themselves".
