Aftereffects
'Aftereffects' is a moving and lyrical chapbook exploring the subtle reverberations of our lives. Jiye has an extraordinary ability to distil emotion into a few words, and refresh our perceptions of familiar images. Many of the poems experiment with form and manage to be playful and deadly serious at the same time. Alongside contemplations on family interactions and how we are shaped by relationships, Jiye considers more tangible aftereffects, such as those left by war and politics. "Dedicated to her beloved father, Lee's poems launch us straight into bereavement and the bewilderment that accompanies it. Though her love and grief for her father is the golden thread that binds this pamphlet, she is never self-indulgent. Clear-eyed and open-hearted, Lee takes us around the world to witness beauty, catastrophe and social endeavour everywhere from Goa to Korea, Tyne & Wear to the Red Sea. Wherever her poet's eye lands, she helps us to see the mortality and humanity that joins us all." - Kirsten Luckins, Poet and Creative Producer

If you, or someone you know is mourning the loss of a loved one, or a way of life; let Nikita's words help you through the process to heal.
Animal Experiments
Anja Konig's is a voice we need now more than ever. In an era of tribalism, it's rare to encounter one so committed to identifying the root of things as they really are, and then laying those findings bare with benign frankness. While the world ends around us daily, these pages offer a macro and micro view, in which we find ourselves both culpable and insignificant, and it is in this paradox that, perhaps, we might be redeemed.
