Lady, the new collection of poems by Laurie Bolger, plays with the arc of a chick flick. Whilst trying to be the most honest version of themselves the poems play the parts of housewife, fitness instructor, landlady, hen, sister, mother, boxer or drunk. The poems get stuck on the ideal of small girl in a big dress when perhaps we are wild, dreaming big and taking it all in.

Is your retirement plan dying in the climate wars? Are you getting on with things in the meantime? Life expectancy begins to fall is a book of poems about how it feels to normalise an apocalypse. It is not a call to arms, it is a poet's book about the weight we all carry -uncompromisingly curious, emotional and authentic.

Weaving familial and queer traditions and archives, and stretching across generational perspectives, Amann Hyder's Self-Portrait With Family is an autobiographical collection about coming out to family and coming out into a gay community defined by whiteness.

Blackbird Singing at Dusk is a bold exploration of place within nature through themes of rural working-class identity and the female body, alongside explorations of loss and the repetitive nature of time.

In 2023, Nine Arches Press launched their nationwide Primers scheme for a seventh time, in search of exciting new voices in poetry, with Katie Hale and Jane Commane as selecting editors. After reading through hundreds of anonymous entries, and narrowing down the choices from longlist to shortlist, three poets emerged as clear choices: Jade Cuttle, Antonia Taylor and Laura Varnam. Primers Volume Seven now brings together a showcase from three exciting new voices. Through engagement with language, connection to place and time, and the stories we tell or are told about ourselves, these lively and revealing poems offer an essential, insightful collection of new work from some of poetry's most talented emerging voices.

Caleb ParkinâEUR(TM)s dark and mischievous second collection Mingle stirs up the toxicities between landscapes and bodies, in poems bubbling with the intoxications of hyper-wealth and climate nationalism.

The Tattoo Collector ranges between Hong Kong, Scotland, and London, exploring the intertwined relationship between the body, ecology and class âEUR" where protests, gigs and the tattooed body form a vital line of connection.

The Apothecary of Flight is a heady flight into the art of poetry itself: its vital importance as a tool for expression; for understanding and translating the self; for articulating the sheer force and joy of poetry and the way, for a person with autism, it can hold and celebrate both the smallest and weightiest of life's experiences.

Small Moon Curve is an intimate poetry memoir exploring what it means to ease open to the restorative powers of love, faith and beauty following diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer. In this compelling testimony, the narrator discovers a surprising, powerful affinity with Tess of the DâEUR(TM)Urbervilles.

The poems in Tamar Yoseloff's Belief Systems act as a call to make something worthwhile from the wreckage of our world, in the spirit of the radical artists she evokes, such as John Latham, John Cage and Robert Rauschenberg - visionaries who located power and beauty in what is forgotten.

Popular Song makes us tap our feet to the rhythms of nostalgia, life on Mars, science fiction, lyric odyssey, humour and a fondness for the spirit-catching cassette tape in this highly inventive debut from Harry Man.

amuk sheds light on the devastating and ongoing effects of a single word's mistranslation, and emphasises what exists in opposition to such hostile histories and presents: hope, resistance, and joy.

Frieze by Olga Dermott-Bond is an astonishing and spellbinding debut poetry collection. Voices are recovered from canvas, from behind museum glass, from the pages of literature and the tales of Irish folklore, to explore what can be recaptured and what remains still out of reach.

Poetry Projects to Make and Do, edited by Deborah Alma (The Emergency Poet) is a 'how to' handbook of prompts, inspiration, ideas and essays designed to help aspiring and established poets find new ways to create poetry, and to take it out into the world through collaboration, projects, performances - and more.

Greekling,the much-anticipated debut poetry collection by Kostya Tsolakis, celebrates and commemorates damaged and rejected Greek bodies, be they of flesh and blood, made of marble, or natural bodies. In intertwining Greek culture, history and poetic influences with the contemporary queer experience, this collection is perceptive, lyrical, and deeply evocative of time and place. From an Athenian childhood to a closeted adolescence in the shadow of the AIDS epidemic, towards sexual self-discovery, maturity and freedom âEUR" Tsolakis charts the pursuit of unconditional happiness. These poems explore queer joy on dance floors, darkrooms and bedsits, but also the risks of crossing strangersâEUR(TM) thresholds or in encountering the violent machismo and hypermasculine expectations of the society you grow up in. And ever-present through the collection is Athens âEUR" the city the poet once turned his back on at eighteen but has come to love again. Moving between lament and celebration, Greekling reflects on a changing and often misrepresented country, the nature of motherlands and mother tongues; it is a voyage out âEUR" and a return.
