Only Sing
The never-before-published poems of one of the great American poets, edited and introduced by Shane McCrae. Only Sing is a continuation of John Berryman's vast project The Dream Songs. These 152 never-before-published poems are an expansion of this epic of the American twentieth-century psyche. In the voice and figure of Henry - riddled with desire, self-loathing and a permanent sense of being odds with the world - Berryman created, in the words of McCrae, 'a hero for a disenchanted nation'. Berryman never saw these dream songs in print but he was content that if they ever appeared, it would 'be up to the reader to fit those poems in among the published ones'.
plastic
Set during a single twelve-hour night shift in a factory, plastic is a book-length poem exploring the life of the industrial worker turned poet. Bringing together memoir, ekphrasis and satire, Bplastic is based on Matthew Rice’s experience working in a plastic moulding factory for ten years. Illustrating alienated twenty-first-century Irish labour in poetic form, plastic engages with the inflictions and implications of a ‘post-industrial’, ‘post-Troubles’ society, all while weaving in depictions of factory work from literature, film and the visual arts. Time-stamped to highlight the claustrophobia of the worker’s experience, this is a poem about feeling a calling while being submerged in the world of menial labour – making plastic airplane parts by night, making poetry by day, uniting what Jacques Ranciere calls the ‘labourers in love with the intellectual nights’ and those ‘intellectuals in love with the toilsome and glorious days of the labouring people.’ plastic’s evocation and lucidity moves with grace through working class realities and hopeful imaginings.
Sonnets
A beautiful deluxe gift edition of Shakespeare's immortal poems with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, beautiful paper and finished with a silk ribbon.
Love sonnets are for romantics, starry-eyed lovers and ardent hearts. And Shakespeare's sonnets are the best ever written. But this is why they are also for cynics, for star-crossed lovers and for those who know the anguish of unrequited love. Some appear to be written to a young man, some to a woman. And although the poems are full of mystery - why did Shakespeare write them, and to whom? - each one speaks to us from across the centuries of love, hate and the intensity of being alive.

A Wild Goose Chase
Words will go their own way, and carry the poet with them, on many a wild goose chase, in and out of the past, haunted by and revisiting the island where he came of age. In the new collection from the Welsh Forward Prize-shortlisted poet, nature writer and editor of the eco-literary magazine Archipelago, McNeillie explores his deep sense, in his older age, of not belonging anywhere other than in mind and in the wild. McNeillie recovers and renews Pytheas the Greek’s exploration of fourth century BC Britain and Thomas Pennant’s account of Wales, but A Wild Goose Chase lays these historical accounts of the natural world beside the author’s own experiences. The poems’ moving and not unmelancholy late recollections blur temporal and spatial boundaries as they stay alive to the impacts of climate change and globalization.
Patchwork
"Love is a needle and thread, and I am the tapestry."Fall in love, break, and heal all over again in this stunning new poetry collection from Catarine Hancock, one of today’s most beloved voices in modern poetry. In this deeply emotional journey, Hancock captures the shifting tides of love—from the thrill of new beginnings and the ache of heartbreak to the quiet strength that comes from finding yourself again. Written with both vulnerability and wisdom, each poem explores love in all its forms: the euphoria of romance, the lessons learned from unhealthy relationships, and the gentle path toward a healthier, more hopeful love. Through raw, relatable verses, Hancock shines a light on what it means to truly heal and to grow, offering solace and encouragement to anyone who has ever felt lost in love. Whether you’re navigating heartbreak, rediscovering joy, or simply longing for words that understand your heart, this collection is here to remind you that love is a journey—and every step brings you closer to becoming whole. Hancock’s words are a comforting presence, and a reminder to yourself that love—real, healthy love—begins with you.
Afterburn
'Lucid, tender and humane . . . One of the most formally agile and compassionate poets of our age’ Fiona BensonHere you are, on the balcony,the sea serenading you,the sun with its armful of light. In Afterburn, Blake Morrison returns to poetry, his first calling, to offers scenes from his own life and the lives of others. In psychology, 'afterburn' refers to the time before a past event is assimilated – an idea that resonates through these poems (which themselves linger after reading) about memory and our attempts to articulate, shape or contain it. Throughout the collection, not least in two extraordinary sequences – one about his sister, the other about Elizabeth Bishop – the poet sees with new eyes the turning points in a life's accidental course. What holds his wise, touching, melancholy yet joyful poems together are the small intimacies that bind us to others, under time’s lengthening shadow: ‘you moved too fast for me to catch you / and so did the years.’Playful and charming, sometimes rakishly so, Afterburn nevertheless reveals an open, and vulnerable, heart. ***'Distils the insights of a seasoned memoirist into images that linger long after the final page' Julia Copus'A master of the sonnet . . . I’m taking Afterburn to my desert island' Hugo Williams
To All the Women I've Ever Loved
To All the Women I’ve Ever Loved is a heartfelt love letter to the divine feminine and all the women who carry its flame, from bestselling poet Billy Chapata. Through poetry and prose, Billy Chapata—bestselling author of Velvet Dragonflies and Flowers on the Moon—lays flowers at the feet of the divine feminine, expressing deeply held gratitude and appreciation for the lovers, mothers, sisters, friends, healers, and teachers who have made his life all the more beautiful and full by shining their light on his heart, some for a lifetime, some for a chapter, and some for only a moment. With Billy’s signature care, To All the Women I’ve Ever Loved serves as reflections on a life spent in the shadow of great women from whom he learned not only about love but about life, connection, personal growth, and how to be a man worthy of a good woman’s love. The lessons aren’t always easy, and some relationships won’t survive, but the love lives on in the memories, prayers, and poems that fill these pages. This is for her, this is for them, this is for you.

A Lockdown Diary
When the Covid lockdown was imposed in 2020, Bob Ward, having had his boyhood shaped by WWII, foresaw that this would have profound effects upon community life. As an elderly man living in a rural town, there was little he could do, but he felt that this was a time to bear witness to the challenges, from the mundane to the heart-rending. By way of making a commitment to being open to whatever the experience might bring, he began to write short verses, often several on one day. He kept this up for ten weeks to create a mosaic about life under siege by an invisible force. The outcome was not simply a collection of poems, but an historical record to be set alongside other accounts of a period in our country’s life which brought significant social change. By publishing this book, the author seeks to honour all those who succumbed during the pandemic, and also those who accepted the risks of trying to save them.
Čítam, čím som bol
Už od svojho debutu bol Łukasz Jarosz, ktorý nemal ašpirácie stať sa literátom, so svojím jednoduchým a pritom mytologickým jazykom vnímaný ako solitér v kontexte mladej poľskej poézie so svojim autobiografickým príbehom, ktorý je rozpovedaný skutočne a pravdivo, cez prizmu iniciačných skúseností – zamilovanie, sex, narodenie dcéry, rozvod, smrť blízkych. Prvý slovenský výber jeho poézie predstavuje básnika súčasného života v malopoľskej dedine, v tradičnej katolíckej rodine, básnika, ktorý na rozdiel od svojich rovesníkov neopúšťa tento svet, aj keď ho prežíva s plným vedomím smrteľnosti, pozorujúc otca, ktorého život mal žiť. Tento život, ktorý číta, môže byť pre nás aj vzhľadom na kultúrnu aj teritoriálnu blízkosť nielen príťažlivý, ale aj rozpoznateľný a veľmi skutočný.
The Manufactured Thrill
Tim Barlow's quirky poems tell of punks, pubs, petrosexuals, Tinder, taxis, taxes, and other snippets from life's great lottery. Within these pages, you'll witness the rise of the grey army, contemplate whether a dragonfly weighs more than your soul, discover if there is life on Jupiter's moons, or if AI will steal your lover. A sideways look at 21st Century society - sometimes serious, often witty, always poetic.
All We Are Given We Cannot Hold
All We Are Given We Cannot Hold, Robert Fanning’s fifth collection of poetry, bravely traverses wide vistas of personal and universal terrain, exploring coast and horizon for what holds us and for what we cannot hold. Exploring boundaries of love, identity and desire, of marriage and family, of human compassion and enmity, of what is given to us and what we make, the journey ends with elegies for the poet’s mother, looking through her death toward what in us is boundless, toward where the infinite begins. For fans of Dylan Thomas and Theodore Roethke, this is a lyric collection not to be missed—a core sample from the middle of life, with all of its comings and goings and grievings.
Crohnic
Crohnic is a brilliant and moving collection of poems that asks, what is the landscape of a medicated life? From their convalescence in a room that overlooks the North Saskatchewan River, author Jason Purcell thinks ecologically with medical records, prescriptions, and dosages, staying attuned to place and to what it might mean to live a life relying on something - in this case, an interminable course of medication - that hurts you in some ways to help you in others. How does the terrain of life change? Crohnic charts two years of Purcell''s treatment for Crohn''s disease, journeying from hospital rooms to bogs and muskeg, places where life and death intermingle and create the conditions for one another''s flourishing. This is a world populated by coyotes, ermines, steroids, pine, infusion drips, moss, pills, and ice. These other-than-human beings come together in Crohnic, coalescing into relations that together form a personal narrative of the management of chronic illness.
Night breaks apart, like pomegranate seeds in my palm
Aakriti Kuntal wields language like a blade and a balm, carving out poetry that is urgent and unafraid to ask what it means to exist. What does it mean to exist within language—to shape it, and in turn, to be shaped by it? In Night breaks apart, like pomegranate seeds in my palm, Aakriti Kuntal crafts poems that unravel at the edges of self and myth, where language is neither home nor escape, but a threshold to something more elemental. Her verses move like water rolling and sifting through sediment, shifting between dream and flesh. Through intimate confessions and stark observations, she confronts the absurdity of suffering, the weight of the body, and the vast, unknowable machinery of the universe. Each poem resists easy meaning, instead offering raw honesty: language as both wound and salve. For readers drawn to the introspective and the experimental, Kuntal’s poetry echoes the emotional depth of Ocean Vuong and the intellectual play of Anne Carson. This collection is for those who seek poetry not as answers, but as an experience—visceral, and unafraid to press against the limits of being.

ČESKÁ CESTA
v které zemi že to dřímá
kdepak je to v kterých místech
v kterých myslích dlaně spíná
k blábolu až dře to v pístech
tahle cesta je tak nová
kdo by myslel na sokola
vlastní čechům vlasto snová
co tě žere co tě klová
smrádek žvástů chladné klíma
rýma v zemi je tím vinna
že hloupost až dře to v pístech
trousí bacil po všech místech
tévé nova yoyo príma
virus cintů ten v nás dřímá
v hubě bacil spíš jen slina
něco mi to připomíná

Letters of the Alphabet Go to War
A bilingual poetry collection translated from the Ukrainian by Ilya Kaminsky and Katie Farris, Letters of the Alphabet Go to War is Lesyk Panasiuk’s remarkable account of living in Bucha, Ukraine, during the apex of war and brutality at the hands of the Russian military. The result is a tremendous work that The Guardian describes as embodying "the idea of the rupture of language through the physical collapse of signs and lettering on buildings hit by missiles." This slim book bears great weight.
The Emboldened Heart
I have to be brave,I have to be bold,allowing the light to enfold. Through raw and heartfelt verse, Amanda Crundall continues her journey of healing and self-discovery.
