    From the opening poem of Lisa Hase-Jackson's impactful collection, Insomnia in Another Town, we learn that "There is no small grief...all are interconnected." These poems, cloaked in memory and the unmaking and re-making of family, travel us through the harvest of a poet's life. Like the farms she made grow, this book tills the soil of a human soul and all the many experiences that make it. In pantoums, free verse, and prose poems, Hase-Jackson demonstrates the way that every lived experience weaves into a root system that bears unique fruit, singular as our heartbeats, our winding fingerprints.-Ashley M. Jones, poet laureate of Alabama

    How to escape this world, this body? How can one invent a world parallel to this one? How do language and literature strive for a heterotopia that empties out the world and replaces it with words? From the mass graves of the First World War to transhumanist utopias, from Louis-Ferdinand Céline to Michel Houellebecq, Out of This World focuses on the modern and postmodern vexed relation to the world, body, and Creation, a major theme in gnostic metaphysical rebellion.

    Prompted by the occasion of a gala poetry reading atthe University of Salamanca, Spain, in July 2019, this anthology is the firstof its kind to comprise Anglophone and Spanish speaking poets breathing lifeinto the multifarious poetic legacy of the poet Ezra Pound. Although Pound'sinfluence on diverse Anglo-American poets is well-known, this collectionfurther reveals his lesser known, yet equally vital impact on the Spanishspeaking world, which has been immense. A bilingual anthology, it includes 29poets, 13 of whom write in Spanish and 16 of whom are Anglophone. In recentdecades, the Ezra Pound International Conferences taking place worldwide havefeatured poetry readings in what has become by a well-known tradition.

Still,in concert with their Spanish-speaking counterparts, these poets have alsorecreated the Spanish world in unusual ways, each reflecting a different,illuminating dimension of Pound's sensibility.

    A unique intersection between periodical and literary scholarship, and class and gender history, this book showcases a brand-new approach to surveying a popular domestic magazine. Reading Woman's Weekly alongside titles including Good Housekeeping, My Weekly, Peg's Paper and Woman's Own, and works by authors including Dot Allan, E.M. Delafield, George Orwell and J.B. Priestley, it positions the publication within both the contemporary magazine market and the field of literature more broadly, redrawing the parameters of that field as it approaches the domestic magazine as a literary genre in its own right. Between 1918 and 1958, Woman's Weekly targeted a lower middle-class readership: broadly, housewives and unmarried clerical workers on low incomes, who viewed or aspired to view themselves as middle-class. Examining the magazine's distinctively lower middle-class treatment of issues including the First World War's impact on gender, the status of housewives and working women, women's contribution to the Second World War effort, and Britain's post-war economic and social recovery, this book supplies fresh and challenging insights into lower middle-class culture, during a period in which Britain's lower middle classes were gaining prominence, and middle-class lifestyles were undergoing rapid and radical change.

    Poetry & Strikes examines shifting representations of strike action in the work of six British poets from the 1970s to the present day. It considers how these poets have come to contend with, and contribute to, narratives surrounding industrial disputes. Through these conversations, the book attempts to question the way in which union narratives and legacies are constructed, and to investigate the power dynamics that underpin the presentation of labour histories. The work of these poets helps us to understand how cultural memories have been formed, and makes it possible to see how these legacies may still be rewritten and reframed.

Through a close examination of the spaces of engagement between welfare authorities and the city's poorest families, it explores the increasing intervention of the State in family welfare and the care of the child.
