Singing My Mother's Song
This collection started as a whisper, a quiet mouth asking questions. Over the years it became a coherent voice that kept getting louder. Now it is a song, sprung from a yearning to fill in the missing parts, to understand my mother's story. Perhaps it's something that goes beyond what is experiential and real and moves into memory and imagination. Perhaps it is a book of magic, of synchronicity and colliding moments in time, too strange to be logical, too concise to be chance. Ultimately, it's a way of shedding light, in order to change the direction of a past. Sometimes, I think it has been formed by my imagined daughter, clearing the way ahead before her own birth. Or by whole generations of women, celebrating a future, formed from the heart of us.
All the Journeys I Never Took
All The Journeys I Never Took offers a personal account of what it's like to leave behind the middle man - lover, father, priest - and discover our place in the world. A place which echoes with unravelling journeys, first dates, break-ups, family and confidences. At turns both confessional and political, this collection explores what a contemporary definition of home might be: something physical, a person, a concept best left behind or a destination to keep heading towards.
Jam is for Girls
Jam is for Girls is Shagufta K Iqbal's fiercely honest debut collection. Her work lays witness to the immigrant experience and gives voice to the women who made journeys into unknown lands through the eyes of their daughters. This is not a collection that struggles between two conflicting cultures, but is an unashamed and unapologetic confirmation of the third generation identity carving itself a space in an increasingly Islamaphobic world. She deftly balances passion and tenderness in her poems, exploring the personal and the political through themes that address gender inequality, racism and the injustice that is present in our world. Leaving audiences with thought provoking poems that are rich and vivid in imagery.
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.
Maternal Journal
A practical guide to creative journaling through pregnancy, birth and beyond.
The Republic of Motherhood
*'The Republic of Motherhood' Winner of the Forward Prize for Best Single Poem* ‘I crossed the border into the Republic of Motherhood and found it a queendom, a wild queendom.’ In this bold and resonant gathering of poems, Liz Berry turns her distinctive voice to the transformative experience of new motherhood. Her poems sing the body electric, from the joy and anguish of becoming a mother, through its darkest hours to its brightest days. With honesty and unabashed beauty, they bear witness to that most tender of times – when a new life arrives, and everything changes.
Reading Is Magic

The Kindness of the Eel
Whether they're inside the mind an Irish Giant's skeleton, listening to The Last Cassette Player in the World or opening a Yugoslavian family photo album, these poems echo with stories and memories and sing with voices from the past. Tender, thought-provoking perspectives are interspersed with unexpected and absorbing vignettes, creating an imaginative collection which plays expertly with structure, perception and the poetic form to both challenge and entertain the reader.
