Escape Room
"Through the use of deadpan humour, lightning wit and a commitment to poking fun at pomposity, Bryony Littlefair's poems show us what the world is really like. Her similes are compellingly outrageous and her metaphors are gloriously bizarre – these poems let us see life and our lives as the ridiculous strange beautiful creatures they are." – Kim Moore "Fresh, natural and surprising twists and turns, sudden illuminations that feel like truth telling" – Pascal Petit Escape Room is the startling and long-awaited debut collection from Bryony Littlefair, following the success of her award-winning pamphlet Giraffe. Littlefair combines clear-eyed observation with wry, surreal humour. Where the mundanities of everyday life, work, therapy, graduation and lapsed Christianity are transformed into the comedic and absurd, with warmth, humanity and a deadpan delivery.
Giraffe
The artful poems in Bryony Littlefair's Mslexia Pamphlet Prize-winning début observe women's lives with a wry, ironic empathy that often features a feminist twist. There is the troubling allure of the 'bad-girl' school friend, a mother who hides her piano playing as if it is shameful as adultery, and an actual meeting with an older self.
Museum of Ice Cream
Museum of Ice Cream is Jenna Clake's second collection, following her debut Fortune Cookie (2017), winner of an Eric Gregory Award, shortlisted for a Somerset Maugham Award. An uncanny examination of objects, scenes and flavours, these poems explore how food can connect or divide, can feel isolating or terrifying, and what it mean to have a secret.
Everything is Going to be All Right
From grief to toothache, heartbreak to homesickness, the power of finding solace in the words of another cannot be overstated. Whether it was written 300 years ago or in our present day, poetry provides a comforting light in the dark. Words may not always provide solutions, but they can at the very least offer us a sense of hope, and the reassurance that we are not alone in our experiences and in our feelings. Everything is Going to be All Right is a ready-made toolkit that offers you a light in the dark, no matter what you are feeling. Comprising poems from literary classics to new, cutting edge voices writing about the world today, this extraordinary collection proves that we are never alone in the suffering we endure, and in the human spirit's capacity to overcome. Whether you are well-versed in poetry or sceptical to the power it holds, we hope that this collection will surprise you, entertain, and ultimately offer comfort through those difficult days. Featuring poems from: Kae Tempest, Hollie McNish, Raymond Antrobus, Salena Godden, Theresa Lola, Maya Angelou, Emily Dickinson and many, many more.

Black Country
WINNER OF THE FORWARD PRIZE BEST FIRST COLLECTION 2014 *PBS Recommendation 2014* ‘When I became a bird, Lord, nothing could not stop me...’ In Black Country, Liz Berry takes flight: to Wrens Nest, Gosty Hill, Tipton-on-Cut; to the places of home. The poems move from the magic of childhood – bostin fittle at Nanny’s, summers before school – into deeper, darker territory: sensual love, enchanted weddings, and the promise of new life. In Berry’s hands, the ordinary is transformed: her characters shift shapes, her eye is unusual, her ear attuned to the sounds of the Black Country, with ‘vowels ferrous as nails, consonants / you could lick the coal from.’ Ablaze with energy and full of the rich dialect of the West Midlands, this is an incandescent debut from a poet of dazzling talent and verve.
