Anna Mendelssohn (1948-2009) authored poetry, fiction, drama, and life writing; she was also a visual artist, musician, and translator. From the early 1980s, Mendelssohn composed 19 poetry collections and published in journals receptive to her experimental, charged lyrics, and retained a marginal, if constant, presence in the poetry community.

The first issue of Shearsman magazine for 2017, featuring poetry from across the English-speaking world plus translations from Japanese, Dutch and Polish.

Tripping Daylight, Peter Dent's latest collection, finds its unlikely protagonist connecting (or attempting to connect) the experiences of a 'life lived' with a welter of convenient 'truths' - known or suspected - and which may be seen as arguable every step of the way.

The Gestaltbunker encapsulates the diversity of Paul A. Green's output during his long subterranean career. His engagement with nuclear apocalypse, global melt-down and the excesses of media landscaping is modulated through surreal inscapes and an intensifying torsion of language.

"Many of these poems engage with 'love', as a perception, as a verb, but to say so underestimates them. Visceral, tangential, with a genuine sense of belief / refusal to believe. You might think that you've arrived but, most of all, how interesting it is trying to get there." (Lucy Burnett)

Offers the reader a historical preview of the three fundamental components or concerns of human life on which "Opus 3" is based, while exemplifying the various sorts of poetry and prose to be found in it.

Includes a long poem by the author, "The Long Habit of Living", together with his loose reworking of Mayakovsky's classic long poem "Cloud in Pants", and some loose translations of Brecht, and a number of poems 'in the manner of Brecht'.

A collection of poems in which the Middle East, both real and imagined, forms the background. It features themes such as: silence, destruction, resistance, and endurance.

Includes poems that concern with the nature, from both a perceptual and ontological perspective, of continuing and intrinsic identities.

Discusses about voices taking each other for granted, saying 'etc etc' and not listening, nevertheless turning out to duet. This title contains double- and multi-columned poems, where each column can be read in its own right (or left), and also read across the columns.

Features poems that speak of specific narratives and landscapes, past and present, as in Cardiff, or Spain. This work tells individual stories, like the hill farmer leaving his farm, or the Navy diver encountering his own unexploded feelings.

Offers tales of families, of growing up, and of the world around us, seen with uncommonly fresh eyes.

A collection of poems.

'Firewriting' is John Muckle's first collection of poems, following two collections of short fiction. The book revolves around the long title poem, an extraordinary conceit which imagines that Walter Benjamin survived and lived to an advanced age. This and the supporting poems demonstrate the author's narrative skills.

A collection of short lyrics by this Devon-based poet, imbued with his trademark compression of language.

This volume is a journey embarked on via contradictory terms that occur when one attempts to explore the limitations of human (vs?) sentient abidance. Postmodern problems with things and places such as home, body, language, tradition, and rabbit hole become the relative metastructures through which these contradictions are channeled.

Singing About Melon opens with a call for silence: 'Silenzio'. This is the self-defeating shout of the guards in the Basilica of St Francis in Assisi, where several of the poems are placed. It is a call that echoes through this collection, playing with sense and nonsense, the sayable and the unsayable, as well as the saying that un-says.

How do we find anchorage in a time of planetary crisis, 'our words/ for world migrating'? 'What is common in this. Explain.' "These are poems that open us to new relations with the world." (David Herd)

Douglas Oliver (1937-2000) was a poet with a substantial reputation in the late 1980s and 1990s, finding a larger audience for his socially-committed poetry in a way that no other of his poetic background had done, or perhaps wished to do. This is an important retrospective survey of a significant British poet.
