Clean
Our lucent teeth spark the rainbow dark. Here, we do not use words like love. Instead, we speak with hands that hold as shoulders tussle the roughhouse rougher. In the absence of daylight, we are just two young men, silent save for giggle and shoe scuff: we do not rouse suspicion when touching. from 'Night Orchids' — In this volume, Scott-Patrick Mitchell propels us into the seething mess of the methamphetamine crisis in Australia today. These poems roil and scratch, exploring the precarious life of addiction and its sleep deprivation. From an unsteady and unsavoury life, we are released into the joy of a recovery made through sheer hard work. Even in the disintegration, the poet points us towards love and carries tenderness every day in memory. Scott-Patrick Mitchell's decades of spoken- word practice has enabled a fine tuning on the page when, for so many readers, we enter into an alien zone of unknowing. Shortlisted in the Victorian Premier's Literary Awards 2023 and the Best Book category in the Western Australian Premier's Book Awards 2023.
Performance Poets
In Fremantle Poets 3, editor Scott-Patrick Mitchell brings together the work of twelve performance poets from the west coast. These poems exist in the mediated tension between the page and their other, electric, life when spoken aloud. With accompanying audio performances available to download, and an introduction by Rebecca Giggs, this collection showcases the energy and vibrancy of spoken word performance in the west.
New Poets
New Fremantle Poets is a celebration of three fascinating and distinct new voices from the West. The volume showcases the considerable talents of emerging Western Australian poets Scott-Patrick Mitchell, J.P. Quinton and Emma Rooksby. The editor, award-winning poet Tracy Ryan, said the book combines 'three quite different works, extremely diverse in tone and approach'.
Killernova
In KILLERNOVA Omar Musa remixes this ancient art form with fiery poetry forged in the stars. Relentlessly on beat, visually captivating and deceptively intimate, this is a collection of words and art that burns blindingly bright.
Changes
A unique selection of poetry reflecting change from poets in the WA Poets Pathways Program. Change is full of light and dark. Here are poems that speak of the fear or ennui we might be feeling about the environment. Poems that embrace joy, lift up the human spirit, shine a light toward an uncertain future and we can travel there with hope in our heart. There is a balance in this anthology that will take you to places that may seem brutal but then open up to a multitude of possibilities. In a world full of changes, poetry is the one constant that shines a path toward the more complex parts of what it means to be human and alive.

How To Be Held
To be held is to be embraced. Not only by the bodies or cities around you, but also by yourself. Maddie Godfrey's debut poetry collection is an ode to resilience, vulnerability and tenderness. Using personal experiences the author explores gender politics, body positivity, trauma and self-preservation. How To Be Held aches with an intimate familiarity, like a diary entry which you cannot remember writing but still recognise yourself within. These poems are strong in the softest way.
