Iarnród Éireann
Simon Barraclough's Iarnród Éireann is a long poem configured around two triangular trips between London, Dublin, and Limerick. Barraclough's words trace a poetic path between the two lands, channelling destiny and predestination, always with a firm grip on the possibilities of passage.
Neptune Blue
Neptune Blue opens outside the galaxy and quickly zooms into a computer-generated Paris, dancing past the planets as it goes. With poems that fizz with wit and invention, Simon Barraclough's new collection bursts with crazy hearts and boisterous planets. From the Sun to Pluto; from baby sharks in Miami to the forlorn dogs of Sri Lanka and the unlucky settlers of the imaginary Island of Schalansky; Neptune Blue sees Barraclough at his most playful and musical, dishing up a feast for the eyes, the ears, the heart and the mind.
Sunspots
The sun is our local star; the most important object in our lives. But what really powers it? And who are the sun's favourite painters? Simon Barraclough is your guide in this tour-de-force book of poetry. Sunspots condenses fact, fiction, myth, humour and emotion into a luminous meditation on the star that gives us life.

Divine Hours
Divine Hours is a collection of poetry which has that intangible sense of being in the presence of a master craftsman, showing us the possibilities of language at its most inventive, and its most necessary. Simon Barraclough's work showcases a confidence in the music and structure of poetry's potential, and a willingness to test the mettle of words beyond the constraints of their usual associations.

It is the first publication from the Poetry Ambassadors mentoring scheme, a new programme supporting emerging literary talent co-founded by ArtfulScribe, Winchester Poetry Festival, and Will May from the University of Southampton.

Speculum
In Speculum, Hannah Copley considers the difficult history of the female body. Mirroring the title object used for centuries by gynaecologists, the poems uncover the hidden lives behind scientific progress. From the enslaved women exploited in the name of invention to the anonymous residents of mother and baby homes, Copley navigates personal, historical and forgotten legacies with equal exactitude and tenderness. Speculum is not only important as a feminist text, but its poetry is immaculate; a virtuosic first collection.
