Odd as F*ck
In this collection, the author loses, finds and redefines herself, in poems that are sometimes visceral and often humorous. She ultimately shows how meaningful life can become after a period of darkness and how transformative those experiences can be. Anne Walsh Donnelly's debut chapbook with Fly on the Wall Press 'The Woman With An Owl Tattoo' came 2nd at the International Poetry Book Awards 2020. 'These are personal poems, where the reader shares with the poet a space as intimate as the conjugal bed. From the everyday idiom of housewives and farmers to the imagined voices of beasts and inanimate objects, Anne Walsh Donnelly captures the humour and pathos of real life with unique honesty.' ...
Fly on the Wall
At the Manhattan School for Arts, where everyone is 'different' and everyone is 'special', Gretchen Yee feels ordinary. She sits alone at lunch, drawing pictures of Spider-Man, so she won't have to talk to anyone, has a crush on Titus but won't do anything about it, and has no one to hang out with when her best (and only real) friend Katya is busy. Gretchen wishes that she could be a fly on the wall in the boys' locker room - just to learn more about guys. What are they really like? What do they talk about? Are they really cretins most of the time? Fly on the Wall is the funny story of how Gretchen's wish comes (a bit too) true . . .
Planet in Peril
When the sciences and the arts begin to work together, a powerful force is created. This anthology was founded upon the belief that words have the power to change. Through poetry, photography and art, creatives across the globe, from the age of 8 to 80, have united to express the urgency of global warming, facing the facts but never losing hope. "A new metaphor is as useful in the climate fight as a new solar panel design. We need poets engaged in this battle, and this volume is proof that in fact they're in the vanguard!" - Bill McKibben, Schumann Distinguished Scholar at Middlebury College and leader of the anti-carbon campaign group 350.org. An anthology for our time Poetry and Photography Edited by Isabelle Kenyon Foreword by Dr Michelle Cain, Science and Policy Research Associate, Oxford University Featuring Emily Gellard Photography and a commissioned poem by Helen Mort

RENDANG
WINNER OF THE FELIX DENNIS PRIZE FOR BEST FIRST COLLECTION SHORTLISTED FOR THE T.S. ELIOT PRIZE FOR POETRY 2020 A startlingly radical and surreal poetic journey, RENDANG takes the reader from West Sumatra to Planet Mongo via Gray's Inn Road, alighting on Indonesian artefacts, gentrification, and citizenry. RENDANG is an urgent comment on what it means to be a person now, a dissection of and love letter to the histories, places, and things that make us. Through adept and complex language play, a ludic voice, and a masterful command of form, Will Harris creates a poetry that charts the ambivalences, difficulties, and voices of our contemporary landscape.
Medusa Retold
"A wild and writhing reimagination of the Medusa myth for the modern age. Mesmerising. Compelling." - Tanya Shadrick, editor of Wild Woman Swimming.
Satyress
A startling exploration into the beautiful, erotic, difficult, and sometimes surreal corners of modern femininity, Satyress figuratively peels back a woman's skin to bear witness to the painful loss (and subsequent rediscovery) of youth and sensuality. Beneath the skin reside creatures - real and imagined - as diverse as the pelican, salmon and satyr. Navigating ageing, marriage, motherhood, and the riptides of heartbreak and new love, Satyress traverses emotional landscapes, revealing the complex arcs of intimacy one develops with one's body and one's self. "Satyress has special qualities that mark it for serious critical attention; the unusual style of the syntax gives these poems an inter...
