Arachne Press Tymes goe by Turnes: Stories and Poems from
Book SynopsisFrustrated by working under lockdown and worried that the 2020 festival might not happen, Arachne Press decided to continue as though everything would be alright, and asked writers to something that responded or reacted to or was inspired by a sixteenth century poem that editor Cherry Potts has always found comforting in a crisis: Robert Southwell's Tymes Goe by Turnes; or that responded or reacted to or was inspired by some concept in it. The poem observes the ebb and flow of fortune, nothing stays bad for ever, nor anything good - so get on with it while you can. And they have. Oh, they have. This isn't exactly a response to Covid-19, but there's an echo there - in Katie Margaret Hall's epic train journey, New Orleans To Vancouver, and Jackie Taylor's Rewilding; but there is also concern for the environment, and relationships and lives in need of nourishment they are finding hard to find. As with Southwell's poem there is a fine balance between dread and hope. stories and poems from:Brooke StanickiC.L.

Arachne Press A470: Poems for the Road/ Cerddi'r Ffordd: 2022
Book SynopsisArguably the most famous road in Wales, the A470 is 186 miles from shore to shore through the backbone of Wales, linking north to south. Peaceful and picturesque or slow and never-ending: the road out of here, the road home, the beginnings of devolution? Glorious national parks, bypasses, being stuck behind a certain lorry firm or worse, a caravan, the road to the Royal Welsh? From the seashore to slates, from nuclear power stations and fighter plane flypasts to forests and mountains: Bwlch yr Oerddrws, Pen Y Fan. On the road or on a journey, there's no need to take the A470 too literally. Be ydi'r A470 i chi - siwrne dawel trwy harddwch Cymru neu daith araf a diddiwedd? Ai hon yw'r ffordd i adael, neu'r ffordd adref, neu ddechrau datganoli? Parciau Cenedlaethol, ffyrdd osgoi, llusgo mynd tu ol i lori neu waeth fyth garafan, y ffordd i'r Sioe Frenhinol? Traethau, chwareli, pwerdai niwclear, awyrennau rhyfel, coedwigoedd, mynyddoedd, Bwlch yr Oerddrws, Pen y Fan? Taith ddiriaethol ar y tarmac neu daith o fath gwahanol? Does dim rhaid dehongli'r A470 yn llythrennol. 51 original poems, translated into and out of Welsh, to create an entirely bilingual poetry collection. Edited by and translated by Sian Northey and Ness Owen, with additional translations from Sion Aled, and the authors.

Arachne Press Menopause: The Anthology

This anthology of poems and short fiction aims to address that, with wild and wonderful writing from humour and anger, relief and distress, by women who have experienced menopause, whether naturally or as a result of surgery; with a healthy dose of views from the global majority and the lesbian, bisexual and trans communities. With contributions from Adele Evershed, Alison Habens, Alyson Hallett, Amanda Addison, Anne Caldwell, Anne Eccleshall, Anne Macaulay, Cath Holland, Cheryl Powell, Chloe Balcomb, Claire Booker, Claire Lynn, Clare Starling, Ellesar Elhaggagi, Elizabeth A Richter, Em Gray, Erica Borgstrom, Genevieve Carver, Ginger Strivelli, Helen Campbell, Jane Ayres, Jane Burn, Jane McLaughlin, Jessica Manack, Joanne Harris, JP Seabright, Julie-Ann Rowell, Karen F Pierce, Kavita A Jindal, Kim Whysall-Hammond, Lucy Lasasso, Marina Sanchez, Martha Patterson, Mary Mulholland, Rachel Playforth, Ruth Higgins, Sian Northey, Susan Bennett, Susan Cartwright-Smith, Tessa Lang, Tina Bethea Ray, Victoria Bailey, and Victoria Ekpo.Table of ContentsFrom Menarche to Menopause Cath Holland 8 Pause Rachel Playforth 13 A sudden ending Anne Macaulay 14 My Wild Fires Marina Sanchez 16 The Grandmother Hypothesis Genevieve Carver 17 Be Cool Tina Bethea Ray 18 more the use the womb is put to than the womb itself Jane Ayres 20 Flashes of Kindness Victoria Bailey 21 Women of Your Age Erica Borgstrom 22 Night Sweats Julie-Ann Rowell 24 Red Clover and Black Cohosh Days Anne Caldwell 26 A Cabin in the Woods Lucy Lasasso 27 Washing Mary Jane Ayres 32 Deja vu Sian Northey 34 Shape-shift Alyson Hallett 35 Obit: My Last Egg Susan Bennett 36 Woman's Work Cheryl Powell 37 Relieved Victoria Bailey 39 The Other Side of Nowhere Jessica Manack 40 Flush Anne Caldwell 42 Foreign Land Ellesar Elhaggagi 43 Fairy Tales for the Over Fifties Alison Habens 44 Black Armour Joanne Harris 48 Breakup Helen Campbell 52 my vulva & i used to be friends Jane Ayres 53 Menostop Kim Whysall-Hammond 54 Shamans in Luburbia Kavita A Jindal 55 A Summer Prematurely Here Victoria Ekpo 61 Nuclear Tingle Karen F Pierce 63 Ruby-Red Jewel Martha Patterson 64 HUM PBA CK JP Seabright 65 Over the Bloody Moon-a prose poem Adele Evershed 66 You have been this country I have known Jane Burn 68 Dried Susan Cartwright-Smith 70 Evorel Clare Starling 72 The Change Ginger Strivelli 73 China Anne Caldwell 77 Natural wastage Anne Eccleshall 78 Gutsy Menopausal Woman Chloe Balcomb 79 O Womb Mary Mulholland 80 Silver Swans Amanda Addison 82 Monthly Tessa Lang 84 men-oh-paused - haibun Victoria Bailey 85 Demeter Elizabeth A Richter 86 Her mid-life performance review Ruth Higgins 88 The Farmer's Fire Jane McLaughlin 89 Wilding Em Gray 93 On Discovering a New Energy Source Claire Booker 94 Enough Already Claire Lynn 95

UEA Publishing Project The World We Want is Us
Book SynopsisThe World We Want is Us is the anthologized debut of Public Menace; bringing together the revolutionary imaginations of poets from across the globe to celebrate building fresh creative coalitions in the mobilization for future change. Organized into three sections, the Public Menace poets collected in this anthology span nationalities, poetic styles and revolutionary scopes. On offer is a kaleidoscopic journey into the intersecting struggles for our future, expressed through the voices of contemporary poets from America, Africa, Asia and Europe. The radical approach of Public Menace concerning the organization of creative communities sees stalwart voices published alongside fledgling artists, resulting in a roster as diverse in perspective as it is free-wheeling and wild with its variety of form and style. The anthology opens with poems that speak to the sense of wonder and speculative dreaming that precipitates mobilizing for activism. Take Root Among the Stars sings to God and dead heroes, contemplates writing as an act of resistance, and tackles feelings of despondency and dread that accompany wishes for change. Middle Fingers up marks the progression of radical thought from the abstract to the concrete: these poems shout loudly against injustice and subjugation. Transphobia, racism and colonialism, misogyny, climate catastrophe, technological interferences and capitalist oppression are among the main topics of resistance. After the crescendo of powerful refusal expressed throughout Middle Fingers Up, the collection draws to a close with And All Shall Be Well. This final section celebrates the regrowth and recuperation that necessarily accompanies movements for change. Poems here express a commitment to tenderness and the retention of beauty that fighting for our futures can steal.
