Paperback. Condizione: New. What is a neighbour? What makes a community? In this themed collection, Hannah Lowe focuses on the urban places she knows and loves, and finds a rich complexity of neighbourliness under the extreme pressure. These poems look urgently into the future, into communities bearing the weight of austerity and gentrification, where global struggles manifest in the local. Nowhere is more at stake than the circle of home the author draws around her infant son, who must learn the fragile meanings of the neighbourhood.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. In Lasagne, acclaimed poet Wayne Holloway-Smith moves between internal and external landscapes with pace, panache and vulnerability. This short collection of poems is a defibrillator resurrecting a small part of the universe at each new twist: a silent scream rearranging the flowers in a window, the miracle of a near-dead cow sprung back to life and feeding orphans, tears coming at the speed of cars. When these poems hit, you hardly see it coming.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. "Arji Manuelpillai hits the ground running with this debut and I freaking love it. His poems are funny, irreverent, hugely affecting. He's fidgety, darts moment to moment - you'll rush after him, then suddenly find he's stopped, spun on his heel and you're face-to-face with his good-natured grin. Manuelpillai will dial up the volume just to whisper something damn beautiful beneath its surface. Every page of Mutton Rolls is tasty, and announces by increment a highly enjoyable new voice." - Wayne Holloway-Smith"The poems in this brilliant, playful debut are multifarious though gratifyingly interlinked, addressing the subjects of Sri-Lankan British identity, masculinity, friendship, grief and love. The tone is sometimes satirical, but there is no hiding behind satire in Arji Manuelpillai's work - great tenderness and beauty characterise these poems, and the poet's voice is completely original, entirely his own." - Hannah Lowe.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. 54 Questions for the Man Who Sold a Shotgun to My Father is the second pamphlet by British-born Irish poet Joe Carrick-Varty."Atmospheric, suffused with the blue light of other people's televisions, these poems, while often devastating, possess a tremendous warmth. Carrick-Varty takes an object/a loved one/a particular moment in time and carefully turns it over and over in his hands. This pamphlet is open-hearted, thoughtful - painfully, beautifully alive to the world and its strange specifics" - Ella Frears"Joe Carrick-Varty's poems don't need permission from anybody. Their exceptional and beautiful vulnerability is a permission all of its own. Each poem contained here demonstrates a mind completely awake to the sadnesses and risks of intimacy, and awake to finding an original vocabulary for articulating these things. A brilliant short collection. I'm utterly convinced of this poet's talent." -Wayne Holloway-Smith. …
