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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. 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.
