<b>The only constant in life is change. </b><br/><br/><i>Climate </i>is a journey in embracing change both internally and externally. It guides readers through all the weather they face.<br/><br/>From heartbreak to the storms we create inside our brain, <i>Climate</i> reminds readers to embrace the sun, storm, and rain.<br/><br/>Most importantly, it emphasizes the beauty, value, and consistency of change.<br/><br/><b>Readers LOVE Whitney Hanson's poetry</b><br/><br/>'This book is<b> everything I needed and more</b>' <i>5* reader review</i><br/>'A <b>phenomenal </b>writer and she portrays the truths of life so beautifully' <i>5* reader review</i><br/>'This book <b>did wonders for my mental health and heartbreak</b>'<i> 5* reader review</i><br/>'I felt like she was talking about my own experiences' <i>5* reader review</i><br/>'<b>Best poet</b> out there' <i>5* reader review</i><br/>'I felt <b>such an emotional connection</b> to these poems' <i>5* reader review</i><br/>'Gave me<b> literal goosebumps</b>' <i>5* reader review</i>

<i>Quick before the story ebbs away.</i><br/><i>There are things I need to tell you</i><br/><br/>A work of great strength and equal delicacy, <i>Mouth</i> transports us to a world where violence hangs in the air, where beauty, pity and cruelty intertwine. The sequence at its heart, <i>Palace</i>, takes the overlooked women from the edges of Greek tragedy and places them centre stage, to tell unforgettable stories of survival and loss. With new depth and force, their voices set off echoes with women navigating the terrible reality and aftermath of war today.<br/><br/>As a human rights lawyer, Arshi saw power and its abuses, the structures of silencing set against refugees. As a poet, she charts the movements and migrations that change the course of our lives - from child to adult, from home to elsewhere, from grief to what lies beyond.<br/><br/><i>Mouth</i> is a complex and original study of speaking's limitations, chasms in communication, but also the unexpected power of silence: 'sometimes / language picks us clean'.

<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.

It is sixty years since <i>Ariel </i>was first published. This heritage edition restores Berthold Wolpe's iconic jacket and reproduces the original distinctive typesetting in celebration of the enduring importance of a collection that contains many of Sylvia Plath's best-known poems.<br/><br/>Written in an extraordinary burst of creativity just before her death in 1963, the poems are as expressive of joy as they are of desolation. The remarkable combination of artistry and intensity that was recognised on this volume's first publication established Plath as one of the most original and gifted poets of the twentieth century.<br/><br/>'If the poems are despairing, vengeful and destructive, they are at the same time tender, open to things, and also unusually clever, sardonic, hardminded. . . They are works of great artistic purity and, despite all the nihilism, great generosity. . . the book is a major literary event.' A. Alvarez, <i>Observer</i>

'The world is blood-hot and personal': in her moving and illuminating introduction, the poet Emily Berry remembers her own teenage encounters with<i> Ariel </i>and offers a personal way into this definitive collection. She shows us how Plath can crystallize our most volatile emotions, transforming them into images so potent and precise that they resonate with us all. Plath has been an inspiration to successive generations; her influence, enduring and profound.<br/><br/>'If the poems are despairing, vengeful and destructive, they are at the same time tender, open to things, and also unusually clever, sardonic, hardminded . . . They are works of great artistic purity and, despite all the nihilism, great generosity . . . the book is a major literary event.' A. Alvarez, <i>Observer</i>, 1965

<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.
