<p><b>Mary Jean Chan and Andrew McMillan's luminous anthology, <i>100 Queer Poems</i>, is a celebration of thrilling contemporary voices and visionary poets of the past. </b><b>Featuring Elizabeth Bishop, Langston Hughes, Ocean Vuong, Carol Ann Duffy, Kae Tempest and many more.</b><br/><br/>Encompassing both the flowering of queer poetry over the past few decades and the poets who came before and broke new ground, <i>100 Queer Poems</i> presents an electrifying range of writing from the twentieth century to the present day.<br/><br/>Questioning and redefining what we mean by a 'queer' poem, you'll find inside classics by Elizabeth Bishop, Langston Hughes, Wilfred Owen, Charlotte Mew and June Jordan, central contemporary figures such as Mark Doty, Jericho Brown, Carol Ann Duffy, Kei Miller, Kae Tempest, Natalie Diaz and Ocean Vuong, alongside thrilling new voices including Chen Chen, Richard Scott, Harry Josephine Giles, Verity Spott and Jay Bernard.<br/><br/>Curated by two widely acclaimed poets, Mary Jean Chan and Andrew McMillan, <i>100 Queer Poems</i> moves from childhood and adolescence to forging new homes and relationships with our chosen families, from urban life to the natural world, from explorations of the past to how we find and create our future selves. It deserves a place on the shelf of every reader keen to discover and rediscover how queer poets speak to one another across the generations.</p>

Conflicted Copy Bok
Sam Riviere is a past master of taking and exploiting 'found' content and process and transforming it into poetry that captivates and unsettles. Here, he harnesses anxiety about AI only to exploit it for his own extraordinary ends. In this case, Generative Pre-trained Transformer 2 (GPT-2), an open source neural network , is used to produce poems that, stripped of the usual authorial clutter, find themselves nonetheless cohering around a voice that speaks of the uncertainties, fears and desires of a world that is desperately, poignantly and recognisably human.

Up Late Bok
<p>Nick Laird's powerful new collection reflects on the strange and chaotic times we live in. Reeling in the face of collapsing systems and the banalities and distortions of modern life, the poet confronts age-old anxieties, questions of aloneness, friendship, illness and death, the push and pull of daily existence.<br/><br/>Laird is a poet capable of heading off in any and every direction, where layers of association transport us from a harbour in County Cork to the library steps in New York's Washington Square, from a face-off between Freud and Michelangelo's Moses to one between the poet and a squirrel in a Kilburn garden. And at the heart of the collection lies the title sequence 'Up Late', a profound meditation on a father's dying, and winner of the 2022 Forward Prize for Best Single Poem.<br/><br/>There is conflation and conflagration, rage and fire, neither of which are seen as necessarily destructive. But there is great tenderness, too, a fondness for what grows between the cracks, especially those glimpses into the unadulterated world of childhood, where everything is still at stake and infinite as 'the darkness under the cattle grid'.<br/><br/>'Up Late, passionate and angry as Hamlet, is formally brilliant, an exercise in control.' Martina Evans, Irish Times<br/><br/>'Laird's fifth collection glimmers with angsty maturity as it manoeuvres its way between introspection and elegy . . . Elsewhere, Laird cracks open the poetry of sensitivity to reveal a raw sense of politics and injustice "as the rich get richer and the poor get fucked".' Philip Terry, Guardian</p>

<p><b>Dazzling short stories from internationally bestselling author Olivie Blake.</b><br/><br/>Once upon a time in a land far, far away, the tutelary spirit to a magical bridge rapidly approaches burnout.

Drypoint Bok
<p>Jamie McKendrick's <i>Drypoint</i> depicts the turbulent present with incisive detail while often taking us back to an equally conflictual Biblical or classical world. Acute and stoical in tone, these poems transport us by bus or ferry or ghostly Rolls Royce to the cobbled streets of Ferrara, the once-Greek port of Smyrna, the bombed acres of Liverpool and Mariupol, and to places not to be found on any map, places where 'North was south, being lost like this'.<br/><br/>Like his 'immigrant muntjac' the poet disregards walls and fences and breaks through 'the borders of our ruled enclosures'. The presence of translations from poets ancient and modern is another example of the way space and time are here collapsed and reconfigured in a language rich with associations, historical and vernacular.</p>

The Owl And The Nightingale Bok
<p><b>Shortlisted for the Derek Walcott Prize for Poetry</b><br/><br/>In this 'graceful, elegant translation' (Guardian), Poet Laureate Simon Armitage communicates the energy and humour of the Middle English tale with all the cut and thrust of the original. An unnamed narrator overhears a fiery verbal contest between the two eponymous birds, which moves entertainingly from the eloquent and philosophical to the ribald and ridiculous.<br/><br/><b>'Arguably the greatest early Middle English poem we have.' Prospect</b></p>

Not Waving But Drowning And Other Poems Bok
<p><b>'Cheerful, brutal, beautiful! Stevie Smith is the wildest poet of them all</b>.' <i>Nick Cave</i><br/><br/>Stevie Smith was not only a famous poet in her lifetime but a poet <i>before </i>her time, a radical eccentric who relished the performance of poetry as spoken word (before that was a thing). The poems are distinctly unsentimental as she casts the 'eye of an anarchist' over propriety and convention, finding comedy in the tragic and tragedy in the comic. She asks the questions we don't have the nous or courage to ask, speaking for the lonely, the troubled and the trapped, and for any of us who at one time or another have imagined ourselves not waving but drowning.<br/><br/>'Variety and inventiveness, much humour and understanding, and a constant poignancy. . . Death, waste, loneliness, cruelty, the maimed, the stupid, the trusting - her concerns were central ones, her compassion genuine.' Seamus Heaney<br/><br/>'Her poems speak with the authority of sadness.' Philip Larkin<br/><br/>'I better say straight out that I am an addict of your poetry, a desperate Smith addict.'<br/>Sylvia Plath, Letter to Stevie Smith, 19 November 1963<br/><br/>'Revolutionary, wild, and fierce.' Ali Smith</p>
