The Museum of Disappearing Sounds
The disappearing sounds of Zoë Skoulding's new collection may be either in the rich sonic environments that the poems observe, or in the resonance of words themselves, which exist in traces of speech and breath. Exploratory and alive to thesenses, The Museum of Disappearing Sounds creates new perspectives on language and the world in which it exists. 'Zoë Skoulding embarks on a profound orphic journey - one which asks you to travel through the traffic, to listen and look again. This is a poetry that tunes itself brilliantly through tensions out in the world and between bodies, precisely rung in its gaps and inscriptions. Words and sounds "shaken loose from border controls" are discovered in forgotten rooms, on the point of disappearance. Strange dust in the throat. A haunted and beautiful collection, which brings a reader's skin into contact, despite the desertion of language and its museums, with the continual necessity of song.' Carol Watts
Marginal Sea
A Marginal Sea is written from the vantage point of Ynys Mô n/Anglesey, which is both on the edge of Wales and in a marginal sea of the Atlantic Ocean - the island is imagined here as a site of archipelagic connection with other places and histories, where the spaces of dream and digital technology are interwoven with the everyday. Skoulding's poems take their readers into new worlds: we come to terms with the oystercatcher's 'muscle of belonging'; we chart the cross-cultural coordinates of 'Newborough Warren with Map of Havana' ('and it's this way to the Malecó n /to look out over the Menai Strait'); elegy and song overlap in moving poems which think through how we remember and misremember: 'it's my voice // deepening with others that won't let themselves / be buried.' ('Anecdote for the Birds'). A Marginal Sea is inventive, exhilarating in its soundscapes, and brilliantly awake to otherness, in language, and in the animal and natural world.
Contemporary Women's Poetry and Urban Space
This book focuses on the role of the city, and its processes of mutual transformation, in poetry by experimental women writers. Readings of their work are placed in the context of theories of urban space, while new visions of the contemporary city and its global relationships are drawn from their innovations in language and form.
Remains of a Future City
Zoë Skoulding's vibrant, multi-layered second collection of poetry takes the imagined city as its inspiration, but she is equally open to the suggestions offered by keenly observed details, both of the natural world and of the multiple variations of the built environment, from cathedrals to construction sites.
Footnotes to Water
In Footnotes to Water, poet Zoë Skoulding follows two forgotten rivers, the Adda in Bangor and the Bièvre in Paris, and tracks the literary hoofprints of sheep through Welsh mountains. In these journeys she reveals urban and rural locales as sites of lively interconnection, exploring the ways in which place shapes and is shaped by language.

Metropoetica
A unique collaboration from some of Europe’s most exciting contemporary female voices, this work is the result of writing and walking in different cities across Europe in response to the questions What does writing poetry have in common with walking in the city? In translating poetry, what lost paths, dark alleys, and chance connections are encountered? and How are the maps by which cities are known allow for new poetry to be discovered? Each of these lyrical pieces, which deftly explain the relationships between place and language, provide new and refreshing ways for readers to see European cities.
Dark Wires
Poetry. The poems in DARK WIRES were written collaboratively over a two-year period by e-mail while the writers were variously located in north Wales and different parts of Europe and Africa. The poems have since formed the basis of a series of performances in Wales, London, and Hamburg with short films and music by Parking Non-Stop. "We loved the one with the lettuce being savagely - no, not savagely - being systematically sliced and I felt really upset for the salad: she had no chance of arguing for her life, she was a victim, a helpless victim in the hand of a sadist vegetarian. I almost cried."-Jean-Herve Peron.
Poetry, Geography, Gender
Poetry, Geography, Gender examines how questions of place, identity and creative practice intersect in the work of some of Wales' best known contemporary poets, including Gillian Clarke, Gwyneth Lewis, Ruth Bidgood and Sheenagh Pugh. Merging traditional literary criticism with cultural-political and geographical analysis, Alice Entwistle shows how writers' different senses of relationship with Wales, its languages, history and imaginative, as well as political, geography feeds the form as well as the content of their poetry. Her innovative critical study thus takes particular interest in the ways in which author, text and territory help to inform and produce each other in the culturally complex and confident small nation that is twenty-first century Wales.
