Paperback. Condizione: New. The 'bleak and blasty' sands of Crosby Beach provide the stage for a cast of mysterious and sometimes sinister figures: scavengers and shrimpers, raucous boys, a lonely priest and a disillusioned soldier, with the steely waters of the Mersey, passing ships, and the play of sunlight on distant hills an ever-restless backdrop. In these vivid dramas Nicholas Murray reveals to us the bitter sweetness of departure and return to a place known with the intense intimacy of childhood, and weighs the 'loss and gain/ that exile forces.'Praise for Nicholas Murray's work:'A real treat . . . an elemental menagerie in which the poet's own delight through verbal magic becomes ours.' Christopher Reid, on Of Earth, Water, Air and Fire'The poems have an emotional intelligence, a wit, I really admire.'Michèle Roberts, on City Lights.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Suddenly there's a room missing in the house. Just yesterday there was a door, now it's gone. A path opens through the forest, which fades as you enter. Disappearance, absence, these are now integral to everything you do: watching the clouds, laying the table for dinner. In these intensely intimate explorations of personal loss, Jordi Doce takes us on a journey in which poetry is both a means and an end, a way of seeking new harmony with a painfully altered world, and a testament of enduring love.Shortlisted for the Michael Marks Poetry Prize.

Paperback. Condizione: New. These poems depict a restless world of journey and movement, of arrivals and departures, greetings and farewells. Soldiers come home from war, old friends reunite. The only stillness is death. The human past is etched into the natural landscape as the living watch and listen to the continuously changing moment they find themselves in, which in turn is pressed into history by the relentless insistence of time: 'there was before, there will be after, no half-measures.''Sean O'Brien's work combines an almost documentary realism with mythical patterning. The world capsizes from surface into depth, depth into surface, as if the present tense was a trap-door into a deeper, darker longue durée. His subject is the uneasy truce between past and present, and in Juniper he traces History to its vanishing-point in ordinary lives, in poems that are both richly imagined and true to their people, their times and places. His is a voice that reminds us what poetry can still be and do for a culture.'Patrick McGuinness.

Paperback. Condizione: New. It's marked on all the maps and stories of its wonders abound but, for some mysterious reason, whenever we set off for the island we never seem to arrive. Starting with legendary voyages of failed or faked discovery, reality and illusion collide in poems that question how we see and know, and in which finding our island depends as much on navigating uncharted seas within, as on mastery of the stars.'Pilot Songs explores the elusive, hallucinatory and darkly-enticing mysteries, wonders and perils of the oceans. Here are journeys across seas within and without, to islands real or enchanted, driven by compelling visions of possible, or perhaps impossible, archipelagoes floating in the balance. Each poem, rich with lucid beauty and precise lyric revelation, charts its own voyage, through sightings, "never-findings" and starry discoveries, into the unknown.'Nick Drake.

By writing at the instant the very heartbeat of life is caught." WALT WHITMAN.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Based on poetry written when he was Poet in Residence at Anne Hathaway's Cottage in 2016, Gregory Leadbetter's Caliban is a dramatic and intriguing new story based on an imagined life of Shakespeare's enigmatic 'thing of darkness' after the events of The Tempest. What makes the poems particularly interesting is that Greg wrote the poems first in the dialect of Shakespearean times ('Original Pronunciation') and then 'translates' them into modern English.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Winner of the Michael Marks Poetry Prize.A Newer Wilderness gives voice to human powerlessness and existential conflict. Amid loss and oppression, attentiveness to animals and nature's immediate present offers inviolate spaces of life-force and grace, enabling hope, tenacity and a precarious path towards redemption. From a panicked winter fieldfare and the evening star's focused light, to the bare trees and the potent scent of mock orange: wild lives are met in their own voiceless states of flux and continual utterance - humanising, vital forces of intelligence and liberation, and our fragile companions.The title is taken from Emily Dickinson, who feels very much a kindred spirit in these intimate, haunting explorations of a deep and complex reality, in which nature plays a fundamental role in supporting human resilience and survival.

Pamphlet. Condizione: New. Apostasy is a remarkable new collection of fourteen poems by John Burnside, one of the UK's foremost poets. A child struggles to reconcile a received Catholic world-view with a more instinctive and passionate paganism. A deep connection with the natural world offers an imaginative and spiritual freedom.

Pamphlet. Condizione: New. A new sequence of startling, haunting poems by award-winning poet David Harsent. These are no guardian angels. They are dangerous, feral. They arrive uninvited, unrefusable and each visceral encounter demands an existential reckoning, an unflinching honesty. They are love's arbiters, though themselves loveless.

Pamphlet. Condizione: New. A new sequence of poems by Sean O'Brien, winner of both the T.S. Eliot Prize and the Forward Prize.The season is high summer, the hour is late, 'in the high numbers', the place is one where roots remain deep, but at the same time it grows unrecognisable - a terrain vague steadily absenting itself from human memory. Love holds it all together, preserving a sense of expectancy and promise, an intuition of immanence in the everyday. Sean O'Brien is one of the leading poets of our age and these poems show him at his best: a pitch-perfect lyricism, an unflinching vision of the world as it is and as it could be, a truth-telling humour that is both gentle and ruthless.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Alan Sillitoe (1928-2010) was an award-winning poet and one of the leading British novelists of the twentieth century. He wrote more than fifty books, establishing an enduring critical and popular success with his 1958 novel Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, which set a new direction in writing about the reality of working-class lives in post-war Britain. His stories of working-class life earned him a reputation as one of the "angry young men" of a new generation of writers. His poetry, however, revealed his own inner life in a way that he found impossible to do in fiction. Presented here are Sillitoe's poems that present the world as he saw it. Using a storyteller's skill, he brought to life the people and places that captured his imagination and took him on a search for meaning. Fascist graffiti scrawled by an unseen hand on a wall in Irkutsk, three sons standing in silence by the grave of their father--this is Sillitoe's world as seen with his poet's eye, a vision that is at the same time clear and precise, politically engaged, fiercely intelligent, and deeply personal. Drawn from his eight volumes of poetry, this selection has been chosen by his wife, the poet Ruth Fainlight.
