Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Whole Island explores the poet's relationship with the Isle of Man, in poems about family and folklore, history and politics, nature and wildlife. The island is navigated as a body, the body as an island.Readers may learn things about the Isle of Man, but Maddrell more frequently uses his cherished Isle as an allegory for the nature of his own queerness, and the queerness of nature and environmental threat. Liberally scattered with Manx Gaelic and dialect, The Whole Island is unapologetically Manx but welcomes its readers with open arms into its complex, conflicted world. The Whole Island explores Maddrell's relationship with the Isle of Man in poems about family and folklore, history and politics, nature and wildlife.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. With his first collection, Matt Riker takes us on a journey where we cannot be sure if we're awake or dreaming if what we perceive is real or imagined. Circling love and family, nature and society, science and mythology, these poems bring both the surprising and the miraculous into sharp focus. But like words, all things are subject to change some are lost, others gained. Riker looks inwards and outwards, to distant places and times, to the essence of consciousness. In poems both personal and philosophical, the intimate and the cerebral are entwined with the richness and ambiguity of existence. Matt Rikers poems take us into a world where things are strange, where we cannot be certain if we are awake or dreaming or if what we think we see is imagined or real. The poems transition between states. They celebrate the richness and ambiguity of existence both within and without.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Beginnings & Other Tragedies is a powerful book-length poem, offering a choral experience of a present-future where almost all hope seems lost except for that offered by poetry itself, and the "beginners" who care about our planet and dream of making a change. In the background, the landscape of Venice, the sinking city.Drawing on nature poetry, dystopian fiction and Greek tragedy, Ilaria Boffa reimagines scientific and ecological language as sites of beauty, with the power to change reality; seen here as something malleable and unstable, to be made and remade. Published in a bilingual English/Italian edition, with both texts written by the original poet, readers are offered a rare opportunity to compare the two languages at their absolute best.Through confronting the most painful, discomforting parts of the world and ourselves, Boffa reminds us why "it's good to think difficult things", and why it may be time to repurpose ourselves and start again a call-to-action which murmurs in our ears both as we read and long after we set the book down. A book-length eco-poem calling on readers to be "beginners" and start a new journey towards hope and change. Bilingual English/Italian edition.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. One eveningwhen they are sitting quietly togethershe breaks the silenceand starts to talkDorothy tells the complete story of a Yorkshire woman, in verse, from her birth early in the last century to her death in the first years of this. Like so many of her generation, she lived a life both ordinary and extraordinary; shaded by grief, troubled by family dynamics, and restricted by the realities of class, location and gender. Hers was a life where survival itself, the simple act of continuing, was a victory to be celebrated but one where the reminders of why we continue, the blinding moments of sunshine when the clouds part, were that much sweeter because of it.Tender and insightful, harrowing and uplifting, Dorothy is a stunning act of empathy from a son towards his mother. Her story, told through the authors assured, unpretentious verse, is both specific and universal enough to resonate with all who encounter it; to challenge some, heal others, and leave a lasting impression on the world Dorothy came to love. Dorothy tells the complete story of a Yorkshire woman, in verse, from her birth early in the last century to her death in the first years of this.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Beautiful things have inner horrors / I learned to be wary of."This collection balances darkness with light: the beauty of the flower, the earwig within. Themes of mental health and memory are played out against the superstition that earwigs can burrow in through the ear and eat the brain. The German word ohrworm means earworm: something replaying in the mind. Another theme is the mortality of the human body. Nature struggles, yet its beauty still prevails. Topping explores coming of age, family, bereavement, and how women are represented in life and literature. These poems have their own music, and appeal to both the senses and the intellect. They explore what it feels like to be human in a troubled world. Poetry on the themes of mental health and memory, balancing darkness with light: the beauty of the flower, the earwig within.
