<b>Here is the definitive edition of Seamus Heaney's poetry, with illuminating critical notes, including uncollected poems and a selection of previously unseen material.</b><br/><br/>This is the long-awaited, definitive edition of Seamus Heaney's poetry. It encompasses all the poems Heaney published in his lifetime as well as the small number that appeared after his death: twelve single volumes, from <i>Death of a Naturalist </i>(1966) to <i>Human Chain</i> (2010), and those poems published in pamphlets, journals and magazines or with limited circulation. In addition, the book includes a small selection of previously unseen material.<br/><br/>It is a body of work that, in its entirety, resounds with the 'lyrical beauty and ethical depth' cited by the Nobel committee: poems 'which exalt everyday miracles and the living past.'<br/><br/>Critical introductions to each collection and notes that illuminate the history and development of the poems make this the essential volume for admirers of the work.<br/><br/>'Heaney's voice, by turns mythological and journalistic, rural and sophisticated, reminiscent and impatient, stern and yielding, curt and expansive, is one of a suppleness almost equal to consciousness itself.' Helen Vendler<br/><br/>'More than any other poet since Wordsworth he can make us understand that the outside world is not outside, but what we are made of.' John Carey<br/><br/>'His is "closeup" poetry - close up to thought, to the world, to the emotions. Few writers at work today, in verse or fiction, can give the sense of rich, fecund, lived life that Heaney does.' John Banville<br/><br/>'These poems find - in the dowser's gift and the child's perception of the world - images of the marvellous that are also wonderfully grounded. . . Heaney is a poet who deserves to be read in entirety.' Jamie McKendrick<br/><br/>'For Heaney, there were marvels enough in this world, and never mind the next. Ordinary objects and places - a sofa, a wireless, a satchel, a gust of wind, the sound of rain - were sanctified.' Blake Morrison

The new poetry collection by Poet Laureate Simon Armitage.

<b>In the third and final installment of the Souls Trilogy, acclaimed poet Iain S. Thomas explores what hope feels like after despair.</b><br/><br/>Following on his bestselling collections, <i>The Truth of You</i> and<i> The Secret of You</i>, Thomas's latest volume of over two-hundred poems examines how we find the faith to carry on when everything has been stripped away and all that remains is the core of who we are.<br/><br/> Enhanced by dramatic ink illustrations in his signature style, <i>The Heart of You</i> explores fear, bravery, intimacy, what we keep, and what we leave behind.

<b>With care and vulnerability, novelist and poet Lang Leav explores what it means to live a purpose-filled life as a woman in search of fulfillment and visibility. </b><br/><br/>Through poetry, micro-essays, and ruminations, <i>Soon It Will Be Sunday</i> delves into the purpose and impact of the interpersonal attachments that women form during different stages of their lives. Internationally bestselling author Lang Leav reflects on the perilous and winding road of being a woman, contending with the conflicting messages we receive from society, and the choices we make that ultimately define us, while also addressing the narrowing options women face with the passing of time.<br/><br/> Deeply personal and all too relatable, <i>Soon It Will Be Sunday</i> aims to provide a mirror for women to see and be seen no matter which era of womanhood you are currently navigating.

<b>"When life feels as though it has been burned to the ground, reduced to piles of ash, there is always someone to remind us that life begins again, no matter how hard we fall or how disastrous the crash." </b><br/><br/>This is the story of how you rose from the ashes-where every ending is a new beginning.<br/><br/> The final installment in a long journey of healing is the fieriest of them all. <i>Out of the Ashes</i> offers a roadmap for readers seeking to emerge from devastation. Divided into seven sections-The Destruction, The End, The Quiet, The Wrath, The Transformation, The Arising, The Resurgence-this very personal and engaging new collection from prolific poet Courtney Peppernell illuminates a powerful journey of resilience and survival. It masterfully charts the process of rising again after your life has been burned to the ground.

<b>A Poetry Book Society Recommendation</b><br/><br/>Dean Browne arrives at the <i>After Party</i> with the maturity and style of an altogether more seasoned poet. In a debut collection of standout and stand-alone poems, each tests the boundaries of its unique universe. Browne is a mesmeric teller of strange tales, imaginings that can seem origamically contained within the compressed dimensions of a poem. A leg sets off on a long train journey; a Parisian alley cat is launched into space; earthbound lovers attempt to connect while their inner lives prove unbridgeable.<br/><br/>Losses are mourned: two poets elegized here - Charles Simic and the late Donegal poet Matthew Sweeney - might offer a fingerpost of sensibilities, though Browne's significant talent is distinctly his own. <i>After Party</i> introduces a beguiling, resonant new voice, a raised eyebrow and fidelity to the image - sometimes carried along the tightrope much further than seems possible. In poems that are both death-haunted and youthful, and thrumming with a delicious dark humour, Dean Browne brings a much-needed injection of the surreal - or the surreal-ish as he might prefer to say - to Ireland's rising generation.<br/><br/><b>'Poems that sneak in the side-door then exit through the ceiling' Caroline Bird</b><br/><br/><b>'Dean Browne is a terrific poet: his language is agile and fresh, his ideas surprising, and the reader feels invigorated, renewed - and lucky to have met such poems' Nick Laird</b>
