The Yak Dilemma
In The Yak Dilemma, Supriya Kaur Dhaliwal ventures out of the mountain ranges of Palampur and across vast distances of land and sea. From scenes playing out through Dublin windows to ruminating on wearing a Sadri in the West, these innovative mediations are as much about personal identity as they are a testament to the human spirit’s drive to cross territory and forge a ‘map’ of our own. Kaur Dhaliwal’s map, if she has one, is without architecture or foundations; ‘Four walls don’t make a home or a house—it takes some doing’, she writes in Ghazal on Living in a Hotel in Downtown Cairo. She is part of a dynamic new generation of poets pushing the medium into exciting new areas ...

Strangers
LONGLISTED FOR THE 2021 RATHBONES FOLIO PRIZE In Strangers, Rebecca Tamás explores where the human and nonhuman meet, and why this delicate connection just might be the most important relationship of our times. From ‘On Watermelon’ to ‘On Grief’, Tamás’s essays are exhilarating to read in their radical and original exploration of the links between the environmental, the political, the folkloric and the historical. From thinking stones, to fairgrounds, from colliding planets to transformative cockroaches, Tamás’s lyrical perspective takes the reader on a journey between body, land and spirit—exploring a new ecological vision for our fractured, fragile world. Essays: On Wat...
Auguries of a Minor God
LONGLISTED FOR THE DYLAN THOMAS PRIZE 2022 POETRY BOOK SOCIETY RECOMMENDATION 'In Auguries of a Minor God, her outstandingdebut collection, Eipe sings of joys and wounds felt deeply under the skin' David Wheatley, Guardian Nidhi Zak/Aria Eipe's spellbinding debut poetry collection explores love and the wounds it makes. Its first half is composed of five sections, corresponding to the five arrows of Kama, the Hindu God of Love, Desire and Memory. From 'stunning' and 'paralysing' to 'killing' and 'destroying', each arrow has its own effect on some body - a very real, contemporary body - and its particular journey of love. The second is a long narrative poem, 'A is for [Arabs]', which follows a different kind of journey: a family of refugees who have fled to the West from conflict in an unspecified Middle Eastern country. With an extraordinary structure, yoking abecedarian and Fibonacci sequences, it is a skilful and intimate account of migration and exile, of home and belonging.

Making Integral
Richard Murphy's poetry is central to the evolution of Irish poetry since 1950. These original essays offer new insights into Murphy's poetic preoccupations - love and loss, nature and solitude, history and inheritance - showing how Richard Murphy's life and work follow the contours of modern Ireland. With the publication of The Pleasure Ground: Poems 1952-2012 (2013) and the reissue of his celebrated memoir The Kick (Cork UP, 2017), this is a timely reconsideration of an important Irish poet. Sometimes viewed as a poet of two traditions who, in his own words, sought 'to unite my divided self in our divided country', Richard Murphy (1927-2018) also engages with urgent contemporary themes: se...
The Displaced Children of Displaced Children
Mohyuddin's craft is composed of measurable touches that go hardly noticed. There is the jelly-fish in space (lament though the poem may be), a talking banana, binging on pumpkin pie. The title refers to diaspora and the poems refer to families in and immigrants from Pakistan, with literal landscapes and clear memories to be enjoyed. And yet, the subject matter is overtaken by such themes as boundary, legacy, loss, claim. Whether a long narrative poem, or shorter lyric poems, these are the works of a poet, mature in his concerns and thinking. - Kimiko Hahn, final judge of the 2017 Sexton Prize for Poetry.

Island of Towers
Island of Towers is a well travelled, luminous collection of poems, released after 25 years of writing. Aykroyd dazzles with myriad forms and a wordly otherworldliness. She is a poet guided by great lights, 'Tagore, Césaire, Neruda', only to 'never go / as far as Pont Mirabeau'. Aykroyd crosses continents at the beat of a butterfly wing, all the time writing with timeless beauty and grace. Island of Towers, to paraphrase Paul Celan, is "a message in a bottle...sent out in the--not always greatly hopeful--belief that somewhere and sometime it could wash up on land."
