Weeds and Wild Flowers is a magical meeting of the poems of Alice Oswald and the etchings of Jessica Greenman. Within its pages everyday flora take on an extraordinary life, jostling tragically at times, at times comically, for a foothold in a busying world. Stunningly visualised and skilfully animated, this imaginative collaboration beckons us toward a landscape of botanical characters, and invites us to see ourselves among them.

"Jess-Cooke conjures (and there is a sense of enchantment or spellcasting present in the sensual figurative language utilised) precise, evocative imagery to discuss wide-ranging subjects, such as disability, feminism, the environment and motherhood, and creates a sense of travelling through experiences and environments" Ruth Stacey"The blend of heavenly and prosaic is glorious and terrifying." Judy Darley"Poems that are strong, yet empathic; steely, but compassionate. Its an extremely powerful admixture and I urge you to read it." Buzz Magazine. A brutal and pressing collection, We Have To Leave The Earth tackles gruesome yet important topics throughout her collection. The first collection playfully examines the Viking culture, with a strong temporal focus on ice in the arctic landscape. Jess-Cooke dedicates her next section to the erased voice of early feminist pioneer Josephine Butler, creating a rich history through a first person narrative. The theme of motherhood echoes from this section into the final beautiful collection as Jess-Cooke describes her own tale of motherhood and the perceptions of her autistic daughter.

Katherine Stansfield has made a name for herself both as a wryly witty poet of the everyday seen aslant and as a popular novelist of crime and fantasy. Her second poetry collection, We Could Be Anywhere by Now, is pointedly full of poems about placement and displacement. After a childhood on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, she moved to mid Wales, and this book explores relationships between these two places along personal and linguistic lines, as well as notions of insider / outsider in Wales and England, learning languages, and the languages of learning to leave places behind. New horizons beckon: we voyage to Italy, Canada, the United States. Stansfield is never eager to pronounce but always approaches her subjects in an oblique, artful way, carefully avoiding cliche and relishing the strange, the overheard, the marginal, the accidental comedy and tragedy of the everyday."Katherine Stansfield writes poems that test language and our place in it, and show how the words that help us anchor ourselves in can suddenly cut us adrift. Perhaps thats why, whatever her subject, her words are so well-chosen, the tones so deftly-handled. These poems are multi-layered and full of surprising transitions: we never quite feel at home in them, yet wouldnt want to be anywhere else." Patrick McGuinness"Katherine Stansfields imagination uses logic and rhythm to push her poems into surprise. She dares to tackle one of the ultimate questions: daring to make a new home. Generously, her poems provide beautiful refuge for her readers." Gwyneth Lewis

Way to the West is a glorious collection resulting from a collaboration between disciplines of art. Featuring twenty-five beautiful full-page watercolours alongside accompanying poems, its focus is on the western tip of Cornwall. For Andy and Vally Cornwalls geographical remoteness, its abiding attraction as a holiday location, its proud fishing and mining history and the varying and often dramatic moods of its weather and sea are an inspiration and cause for celebration.The profound emotional and psychological effects on visitors to Cornwall is not lost on the authors, who have a long association with the area, having walked its entire coastline and holidayed there for over a half a century. Way to the West is a celebration of the natural world and the home, the past and the present, and of the fierce interconnectedness of people with their landscape.

"Full of life: politicially astute, well-made and formally experimental poems celebrate even sadness in fresh language, natural rhythms and subtle music.

Ian DuhigFrom the thumping heartbeat of the distance runner to the roar of football terraces across the decades, Ben Wilkinsons debut poetry collection, Way More Than Luck, confronts the struggles and passions that come to shape a life.

Hannah Sullivans first collection, Three Poems won the T.S. Eliot Prize and the inaugural John Pollard International Poetry Prize. Was It for This continues that books project, a trenchant exploration of the consciousness of daily living and the way in which we attempt to map our lives in time and space. Here is a life recalled through the dwelling places that have contained it, by the associated people, paraphernalia and peculiar rites of an individual existence. But there is also the wider, more collective experience to contend with, the upheavals of historic event and present disaster. Tenants, the first poem, is fuelled by the particular anxieties of a mother of young children living in the vicinity of Grenfell Tower at the time of its destruction. Elsewhere, from the terraces and precincts of 70s and 80s London to the late-at-night decks of American suburbs, intimately inhabited geographies provide reference points in a construction that sets the three distinct and formally experimental parts of the collection in conversation with one another. Nothing is too small or unlovely to be transfixed by the poets attention, culminating in an effort to shake off the ingrained aesthetics of received opinion and, in revisiting the places of childhood, discovering instead the beauty in the thin concrete pillars of a flyover, the geranium brocades around a porch, or the consolation to be found behind the modernist rows of windows at the Chelsea Hospital. There is a memorializing strain in the forensic accumulation of detail, but there is also celebration, a keen sense of holding onto and cherishing what we can.

Now warm blooded things offers us this same tender gift." Liz Berry

Widely considered to be among his best works, War Stories is a collection of poems detailing Nemerovs observations and personal experiences of the Second World War. From the grand, sweeping reflections of The War in the Heavens to the haunting verses of The War in the Streets, this anthology is as pertinent now as it was when it was first published. A superb book for those with an interest in World War II, or those who want to see a different side to this usually-satirical poet.

La apuesta de Serge Pey en este libro es de la más radical estirpe: para él, el poema es el espacio político primario; para él, la poesía es la práctica política elemental. Quien hace historia de la literatura elabora una especie de parapoesia,escribe parapoemas, porque busca el fundamento de la poesia en los enunciados de las ciencias que corren paralelas al devenir del poema, tales como la jurisprudencia o las ciencias sociales. Quien hace critica de la literatura construye unasuerte de metapoesia, escribe metapoemas, porque busca el fundamento de la poesia en los discursos sobre la contingencia humana, que van mas alla del suceso del poema, tales como las ciencias politicas o la economia. Quien hace teoria de la literatura inventa un discurso archipoetico, escribe archipoemas, porque busca el fundamento de la poesia antes del acontecimiento poetico, sumandose a las pretensiones de las ciencias cognitivas y naturales. Todos ellos buscan el origen de la poesia en pensamientos, conocimientos o circunstancias que supuestamente preceden a la aparicion del poema. Acaso se equivocan. Que todo poema es una contraseña escribe nuestro poeta, porque entiende que el poema es la llave primitiva del mundo.
