The Gift of Boats
Jane Routh manages woodlands and a flock of geese in the Forest of Bowland, North Lancashire, where she's lived for over thirty years. She taught and exhibited photography for several years, but more recently most of her creative work has been in writing - non-fiction, as well as poetry.
Listening to the Night
Jane Routh's fourth full collection combines vivid, musical writing and acute perception of the natural world. Ranging across land and land art, birds, buildings and bodies, roads, trees and winds, her distinctive poems investigate memory and the changes which overtake us all. These poems listen to the nights, but also to the darker places in our lives and - in the face of environmental and personal loss - celebrate the moments of resilience "that keep mortality at bay".
Falling Into Place
Jane Routh's 'Falling Into Pieces' reflects on life enriched by the land she lives with and looks after. This is a book about a small area of land and its wildlife, work and weathers over four decades. At its heart is a month by month celebration of seasonal shifts - their feel, their smell, their mood. But the writing also has a wider sweep, deftly considering the place of the individual in the evolving story of land use.
The Bonniest Companie
In her extraordinary new collection, Kathleen Jamie examines her native Scotland--a country at once wild and contained, rural and urban--and her place within it. In the author's own words : "2014 was a year of tremendous energy in my native Scotland, and knowing I wanted to embrace that energy and participate in my own way, I resolved to write a poem a week, and follow the cycle of the year." The poems also venture into childhood and family memory--and look to ahead to the future. The Bonniest Companie is visionary response to a year shaped and charged by both local and global forces, and will stand as a remarkable document of our times.
Hen Harrier Poems
Hen Harrier Poems is Colin Simms' fifth collection with Shearsman, and his third devoted to poems on a specific species, following Otters and Martens (2004) and Gyrfalcon Poems (2007). Future plans include volume devoted to poems on merlins and on goshawks. Simms is a naturalist who has observed the harrier and its North American cousin, the marsh hawk, for decades; his poems fuse a rich Bunting-esque diction and sonority with a focused eye and imagination.

A Responsibility to Awe
Rebecca Elson's A Responsibility to Awe reissued as a Carcanet Classic. A Responsibility to Awe is a contemporary classic, a book of poems and reflections by a scientist for whom poetry was a necessary aspect of research, crucial to understanding the world and her place in it, even as, having contracted terminal cancer, she confronted her early death. Rebecca Elson was an astronomer; her work took her to the boundary of the visible and measurable. 'Facts are only as interesting as the possibilities they open up to the imagination,' she wrote. Her poems, like her researches, build imaginative inferences and speculations, setting out from observation, undeterred by knowing how little we can know.
Mercy
Róisín Kelly's Mercy is an attempt to reconcile her Irish Catholic background with her pagan heritage, transcending the limits of a world in which everything is connected. Both intimate and political, this powerful debut collection combines a passionate exploration of self with an awestruck confrontation of wilderness. Róisín Kelly lives in Cork.
Morning in the Burned House
The renowned poet and author of The Handmaid's Tale "brings a swift, powerful energy" to this "intimate and immediate" poetry collection (Publishers Weekly). These beautifully crafted poems -- by turns dark, playful, intensely moving, tender, and intimate -- make up Margaret Atwood's most accomplished and versatile gathering to date, setting foot on the middle ground / between body and word. Some draw on history, some on myth, both classical and popular. Others, more personal, concern themselves with love, with the fragility of the natural world, and with death, especially in the elegiac series of meditations on the death of a parent. But they also inhabit a contemporary landscape haunted by images of the past. Generous, searing, compassionate, and disturbing, this poetry rises out of human experience to seek a level between luminous memory and the realities of the everyday, between the capacity to inflict and the strength to forgive.
Pamper Me to Hell and Back
Love, death, Bruce Willis, public urination, being a woman, love, The Nanny, love. This pamphlet of poetry by Hera Lindsay Bird, is a startling departure from her bestselling debut Hera Lindsay Bird by defying convention and remaining exactly the same, only worse. This collection, which focusing on love, childish behaviours, 90's celebrity references and being a woman is sure to confirm all your worst suspicions and prejudices. In a recent comments section on the Guardian, her work was described as "This comment was removed by a moderator because it didn't abide by our community standards. Replies may also be deleted.
