The Lilliput Press Ltd Pure Filth
Book SynopsisPure Filth, Aidan Mathews’ fifth volume of poetry, follows upon Windfalls (Dolmen, 1977), Minding Ruth (Gallery, 1983), According to the Small Hours (Cape, 1998) and Strictly No Poetry (Lilliput, 2017). At its heart, the collection is about reflections on a career and sustained loves for people, God and art, with themes threaded throughout such as the pandemic, suburban Dublin, Irish landscape and history and the Holocaust. His critic and biographer David Wheatley says: ‘It is no exaggeration to say that Mathews does not have themes so much as obsessions. If his Catholic faith provides the ground base for all his work, sexuality, mental illness and the Holocaust recur in poem after poem, stitching together the quotidian and the extreme … Synthesizing the sexual, the sacred, and the secular, Mathews’ poetry is a testament of great personal power, answerable to the cloister and the locked ward, the social lepers and the captains of the ship of state.’ (Irish Poetry, Wake Forest 2017)Trade Review‘Mathews’ great strength is in gleaning unvanquished beauty from the humblest thing, maybe the ugliest thing and perhaps the pure filth of it. A magnificent work.’ ANNE CUNNINGHAM, MEATH CHRONICLE

Birlinn General Another Way to Split Water
Book SynopsisIn Alycia Pirmohamed’s debut collection, Another Way to Split Water, a woman’s body expands and contracts across the page, fog uncoils at the fringes of a forest, and water in all its forms cascades into metaphors of longing and separation just as often as it signals inheritance, revival, and recuperation. Language unfolds into unforgettable and arresting imagery, offering a map toward self-understanding that is deeply rooted in place. These poems are a lyrical exploration of how ancestral memory reforms and transforms throughout generations, through stories told and retold, imagined and reimagined. It is a meditation on womanhood, belonging, faith, intimacy, and the natural world. Shortlisted for the Raymond Souster Award 2023 and the Saltire Society Poetry Book of the Year Award 2023 Longlisted for the Jhalak Prize 2023, the Laurel Prize 2023 and the Michael Murphy Memorial Prize 2023Trade Review'Pirmohamed writes with a flow which is rarely interrupted.

Another Way to Split Water' -- Rob McLellan'Pirmohamed’s writing evokes tender emotions within readers by bringing a voice to those who search for a sense of identity and belonging in multiple places at the same time ...

The reader's bonding to these poems, in many moments, is meditative, and almost transcendent' * Wasafiri Magazine *'Her narrative is dynamic, a vibrant act of creating, undoing, transforming, and becoming.

Prospect Books Roman Food Poems
Book SynopsisAll the major poets of Rome can be represented by something they wrote about food. They tell us how we taste it, where to get it, how to serve it, how and with whom to eat it, what and how much to drink with it, and how to get or avoid invitations to meals. Their subjects include vegetarianism, food-snobs and mythology. They also considered the idea of forbidden food. After all, the main preoccupations of human beings in any age can be brought in on the same trays as the food and drink. Sex, death, slavery, gardening, religion and the family are included, one way or another, in the verses printed and translated here. Alistair Elliot has chosen widely from Latin literature, from humble graffiti to the most famous and most memorable; from the oldest (Ennius) to those writing at the high-point of Empire (Juvenal). The lover of poetry will admire the vigorous translations; the student of Latin will welcome the many styles and means of expression contained within a short compass.

Norvik Press A Window Left Open
Book SynopsisPentti Saarikoski was a prolific translator and journalist, and a revered modernist poet central to the Finnish literary scene of the 1960s and 1970s. The inventiveness, warmth and humour of Saarikoski's voice have made him something of a national treasure in Finland. His writing is at once playful and political, drawing on everyday life and current affairs, as well as Greek antiquity. This collection of poems chosen and translated by Emily Jeremiah and Fleur Jeremiah charts Saarikoski's artistic development over the decades from his early Greek period to his politically charged participative poetry, and ultimately his last known poem. This dual-language edition places the original Finnish poems side-by-side with their English translation, inviting readers to explore the elegant craftsmanship of Saarikoski's use of language.

Sidekick Books Say It Again: A Book of Misquotations
Book Synopsis“Very ready we are to say of a book, ‘How good it is – that’s exactly what I think!’ But the right feeling is, ‘What the hell did I just read?’”— John Ruskin Why a book of misquotations? Because what’s captured in such a book is the jittery, jumbled essence of truth: that wisdom and edict alike are constantly customised, iterated, adjusted. Nothing stays the same. Say It Again gathers the sage words of philosophers, statesmen, artists and authors alongside proverbs, sayings and scripture – all distorted with varying degrees of deliberation. Some are stitched into poems (or something like poems) while others speak to the present in bizarre new ways. Whether or not they retain their former authority, or the power to lower the reader into the deep well of human experience, these refigured fragments are evidence that everything we know may be shaken, like the grains in a kaleidoscope.

Vintage Publishing playtime
Book Synopsis**WINNER OF THE POLARI PRIZE 2019**‘Vivid, accessible and honest, sometimes uncomfortably so’ Alan Bennett, London Review of BooksIn these intimate, sometimes painfully frank poems, Andrew McMillan takes us back to childhood and early adolescence to explore the different ways we grow into our sexual selves and our adult identities. Examining our teenage rites of passage: those dilemmas and traumas that shape us – eating disorders, masturbation, loss of virginity – the poet examines how we use bodies, both our own and other people’s, to chart our progress towards selfhood.McMillan’s award-winning debut collection, physical, was praised for a poetry that was tight and powerful, raw and tender, and playtime expands that narrative frame and widens the gaze. Alongside poems in praise of the naivety of youth, there are those that explore the troubling intersections of violence, masculinity, class and sexuality, always taking the reader with them towards a better understanding of our own physicality. ‘isn’t this what human kind was made for’, McMillan asks in one poem, ‘telling stories learning where the skin/is most in need of touch’. These humane and vital poems are confessions, both in the spiritual and personal sense; they tell us stories that some of us, perhaps, have never found the courage to read before.Trade Review[An] equally page-turning second collection… McMillan is 30, but writes with the melancholy understatement for an older writer… McMillan’s pared-back style puts great weight on each word, often with magnetic results… McMillan wears his influences on his sleeve – Thom Gunn, Sharon Olds’s explicit Odes, a flicker of Book of Matches-era Simon Armitage – yet brings them together in a voice that is confident, captivating and distinctly his own… Any fans of physical worrying how McMillan could top one of the most widely praised debuts of recent years should breathe a sigh of relief: playtime may be a quieter collection, but it’s a deeper, richer one too. -- Tristram Fane Saunders * Telegraph **Poetry Book of the Month** *Andrew McMillan’s second collection, playtime, is every bit as impressive as his first, physical… He seems attuned to the world around him and he has a sly sense of humour at his command. He is more than promising now. -- Paul Bailey * Literary Review *[In playtime] McMillan makes it clear that the poetics of physical wasn’t a one-off. As with all the best second outings, this collection firmly establishes his patent… [a] fully realised, deeply humane collection. -- Sarah Crown * Guardian *McMillan scrutinises the violent idealism of masculinity in monologues that are both tender and steely… told with courage, invention and charm. -- Jeremy Noel-Tod * Sunday Times, **Books of the Year** *Andrew McMillan's award-winning debut collection, physical, a raw and tender exploration of gay love and desire, heralded him as a new force in contemporary poetry. This, his second book, only cements that reputation... these poems are insightful, revealing, honest and brutally tender. * attitude *playtime is admirably devoted to intimacies and it has a tenderness to it even in its most private of moments... This is a triumphant collection of poems. -- Elaine Cosgrove * Totally Dublin *By returning to familiar ground and deepening his engagement with it, McMillan makes clear that the poetics of physical wasn’t a one-off. As with all the best second outings, this collection firmly establishes his patent… [a] fully realised, deeply humane collection. -- Sarah Crown * Guardian *Vivid, accessible and honest, sometimes uncomfortably so. -- Alan Bennett * London Review of Books *An unobstructed exploration of an important subject. McMillan is writing not only see-through but see-beyond poetry. -- Kate Kellaway * Observer *

The Indigo Press Epic Annette: A Heroine's Tale
Book SynopsisCould you put your beliefs before your family? Epic Annette is the extraordinary true story of Annette Beaumanoir: brilliant and fierce, she was a medical student living in a world at war who, at nineteen years old, joined the French Resistance and saved the lives of two Jewish children in Paris on the eve of their deportation to the camps. As a doctor and mother devoted to justice and equality, Annette was later found guilty of treachery for supporting the Algerian FLN in France and sentenced to ten years in prison. The story of her dramatic escape, trial in absentia and decades in exile, separated from her children, resembles that of the great heroes whose love for individuals had to compete with their destiny and love of humanity. Annette will remain with you forever. With this gripping personal tale of heroism and grief, author Anne Weber joins Homer in her ability to conjure a titan in an epic poem.Trade Review‘A reading delight from start to finish.’ https://www.sueddeutsche.de/kultur/anne-weber-deutscher-buchpreis-annette-ein-heldinnenepos-rezension-buchkritik-1.4891164 -- Joseph Hanimann * Die Süddeutsche Zeitung *‘A bold and moving exploration of the ethics of heroism.’ https://www.the-tls.co.uk/articles/annette-ein-heldinnenepos-anne-weber-book-review/ - review of the German Edition -- Anna Katharina Schaffner * Times Literary Supplement *Editor’s Choice Preview ‘A riveting and highly original retelling of the life of Annette Beaumanoir.’ https://www.thebookseller.com/previews/epic-annette-a-heroine8217s-tale -- Caroline Sanderson * The Bookseller *‘A heroine in a murky world: Anne Beaumanoir and the ethics of resistance’ ‘At the heart of Weber’s book is the instability of our conceptions of heroism, nuanced by hindsight.’ https://www.the-tls.co.uk/articles/annette-ein-heldinnenepos-anne-weber-book-review/ -- Anna Katharina Schaffner * The TLS *Guest review by Anne Sebba: Epic Annette - A Heroine’s Tale by Anne Weber, translated by Tess Lewis ‘Annette Beaumanoir is a rare heroine whose fierce courage almost demands an unusual, and beautiful, account of her life.

Book SynopsisIn 1958, geophysicist A. G. Lewis travelled to the Antarctic to investigate the landscapes and skies of that vast and icy continent.Now Elizabeth Lewis Williams traces her father’s journeys, from the Peninsula to Mt Erebus. They are real, imagined, and artistic journeys, exploring communication across time and space, and experiments in scientific and poetic measure.Erebus transports us to an Antarctic of paradox. A land where perpetual daylight balances months of austral darkness. A land of encounters with the unknown, and with mortality – but where camaraderie and faith are the only defence against catastrophe.At its heart, Erebus is a visit to the frozen underworld, and an exploration of how we find a place for ourselves in this vast and often unforgiving world we call home.

Colenso Books Two Years at the Road Side: Reflections, dreams
Book SynopsisAn extremely varied collection of poetry mostly written in the period May 2021 to October 2023. The second part of the title, "at the road side" is, according to the Introduction, “a metaphor for where an ageing man feels himself to be in relation to the deteriorating world situation”. Included are several poems responding to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and towards the end of the book to the Israeli bombardment of Gaza. There are autobiographical sketches from the distant past, humorous and even silly poems, accounts of several dreams and their connection to reality, some anti-Christian poems, and as an appendix a nine-page piece of literary criticism in verse attacking Wordsworth's Ode on "The Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood". Many poems use constrained verse forms such as tanka and haiku and the 23-syllable 4-line stanza that Hirst has been using since the 1990s.Table of ContentsCONTENTS Introduction viii Him and me 3 Lost consonants 3 Where three roads meet 5 Lost butterfly 7 Linked-verse meditations on the13th of May 2021 8 speaking of the dead 10 Diptych (23rd of June 2021) 11 The Narrow Road 14 Water moths 16 Fehim and his villages (remembering Turkey, Autumn 1968) 19 Strange question, inconclusive answer 21 To die of cancer on the 28th of August 1950 (7th of September 2021) 22 Another day 24 A Roman house 24 So it was you (6th of October 2021) 25 Overloading 26 Two-moon Junction (Luton Airport Parkway) 26 Shellfish 27 Autumn Hill Reservation, Princeton, New Jersey 28 “Tonight at Ten . . . the worst drought in years” (3rd of December 2021) 28 Frozen January 30 Ще не вмерла України SOME TANGENTIAL THOUGHTS ON A “SPECIAL MILITARY OCCUPATION” Poem for Zaporizhzhia Day (4th of March 2022) 31 The contents of a room (27th of March 2022) 32 Royal appointees (16th of April 2022) 34 “a host, of golden daffodils” (16th of April 2022) 34 Bird scarers (27th of April 2022) 36 No pathetic bunker suicide for you (2nd of May 2022) 37 ———— o ———— Seeing eye-to-eye 39 The sound of silence 40 “Lived by the It” 41 Glimpses of my father 42 Road sense 44 God in his Gardens 46 This New Testament of ours 48 It’s all just chicken shit (and eight other titles) 50 Gone with the Wind 51 Wasp sting 51 A long unfinished sentence (16th of July 2022) 52 Late pick-up at the station (26th of August 2022) 54 England, England über Alles (10th of September 2022) 54 No mellow fruitfulness 56 A split quatrain in blank verse (26th of January 2023) 56 A Vote of Tanks (26th of January 2023) 57 At sixes and sevens — thoughts on some of this week’s news (27th of January 2023) 58 Youthanasia (4th of February 2023) 60 The grinding of tectonic plates (10th of February 2023) 62 The Owl and her poor Pussycats (poem for a Braver Man than I) (2nd of May 2023) 63 That Owl again (26th of May 2023) 64 “Secret Knowledge — Stradivarius and me” (6th of June 2023) 68 Hellenic Train (12th of June 2023) 70 Prehistoric spacemen 72 Alcohol-free 73 Titanic idiocy (21st of June 2023) 74 Fish tanka (4th of September 2023) 76 Incomplete scenario, August 1971 78 The end of summer (7th of September 2023) 79 Nomenclature (13th of September 2023) 80 3 in 1 81 The bees’ needs (25th of September 2023) 82 Reflections on a funeral from afar (27th of September 2023) 83 Brief exchange with Mr T.

The Emma Press The Stack of Owls is Getting Higher
Book SynopsisIn a sequence of poems set in the mountainous Deep South of America, Dawn Watson vividly evokes an ominous landscape of gas stations, jackrabbits and drifting hawks, where copperhead snakes fall out of branches and ‘magnolia cones / thum[p] the roofs’ of wooden outhouses. These poems, based on the writer’s time spent in Georgia, Tennessee and the Carolinas, are interwoven with pieces set in the poet’s native Belfast which speak urgently to the raw realities of sexuality, juvenile detention, and the Irish border. Many poems feature speakers driving from place to place, capturing the in-between states in which so much of experience is actually lived. Precise and strange images coalesce into physical and interior landscapes. Alternately surreal and direct, and always joyously inventive, Watson offers a clear and unsettling vision of what is and isn’t there in these anxious, contemporary times.
