The work in Chip's first full collection, A Class Act, reveals a poet very much engaged with the struggles of the working man. The poetry is characterised by an attitude of stern determination and a tender, underlying empathy that never forgets the human story behind every headline and statistic.

The question of belonging lies at the heart of Life in a Country Album: who gets to decide who belongs? "Now that we are guests in our bodies, how do we survive?" In its clarity, craft and chimeric language, this book is a love letter and admonition mailed by the same stamp. Nathalie remains an urgent and singular voice in contemporary poetry.

A largely allegorical exploration of the loneliness of the rootless, The Waiting radiates from metropolitan Ghana to encompass the world. The second book of Martin Egblewogbe, whose hilarious The Gonjon Pin lent its title to the 2014 Caine Prize anthology, it sparkles with local myth while paying homage to Kafka, often with hilarious outcomes.

Un Nuevo Sol: British LatinX Writers is the first major anthology of UK-based writers of Latin American heritage, a new vanguard in British literature. Their work carries a sly political edge, channelling the rich mythology and scope of Latin American literature, but carrying a uniquely British gene - a bit of banter, a flash of restrained cheek.

A Warning to the House That Holds Me builds on the milestones and mythology of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo to perform a deeply personal act of reclaiming power. Drawing on a long tradition of Somali storytelling, these poems achieve the complex balance of being as conversational as they are crafted.

'Deluge', as with Charlotte Ansell's previous books - 'you were for the poem' and 'After Rain' - displays an unerring emotional honesty. Confronting therapy, family, as well as social shifts like gentrification, Charlotte draws perspective from the community she lives in and distils it into the poems that make up this stunning collection.

The poems in A Quickening Star are brought into increasingly vivid focus line-by-line, each line like a frame in a well-crafted film opening sequence. This loaded narrative quality of Sue Morgan's work is particularly evident in the short but harrowing 'Forced Entry', which begins with "The click-tick/ of a cockroach on a dark ceiling" and escalates by the tenth line to "he knows/ a hundred ways to harm without marking". Whether tackling abuse, mental health or romance, Sue Morgan's poems transport you to a space where curtains are parting and a quiet music is creeping in. Born in Lancashire in 1958, Sue Morgan spent much of her childhood in South Africa, working abroad for many years as a teacher, before marrying and moving to Northern Ireland where she still lives. She counts as her mentors Ciaran Carson, Sinead Morrissey and Leontia Flynn who have all been influential in her development as a poet. Her submission Let Red Hibiscus Fall won the Venture Pamphlet Award in 2013 and she was runner up in the Seamus Heaney Award for New Writing in 2015.

'The mouthmark Book of Poetry' is an anthology of the individual-author titles published under the mouthmark poetry pamphlet series, comprising the work of Nick Makoha, Inua Ellams, Jacob Sam-La Rose, Jessica Horn, Truth Thomas, Denise Saul, Malika Booker, Janett Plummer and Warsan Shire.

A Suburb of Heaven is based on Stanley Spencer's work and the part-imagined life of Anna O, patient zero of psychoanalysis. Spencer's predilection for using Biblical scenes in a rural context carries a narrative impetus that Pnina Shinebourne builds on, and she deftly invents Anna O's history, complete with music notes and linguistic asides.

Peter Ebsworth is a poet in love with the stage. Enlisting heavyweights such as Sarah Kane and Samuel Beckett to Sticky Vicky, the veteran Benidorm erotic entertainer, as extras, his debut collection, Krapp's Last Tape, shows him to be a true connoisseur of high and low culture.

The Sideways for It is a tour de force of poetic invention. Crafted to read as the eye leads, the poems are experienced both as commentary and personal engagement. Ian's work draws us into 'the silence of space,' urges us to observe the bridge cupping its shadow 'like a lover,' and the 'delicate proboscis of the moth'.

The poems in Katie Hale's Breaking the Surface are populated with totems of our wild, essential truths- from the raven bearing witness to death, to the wolf's dark appetite. Hale interrogates desire in its different forms and unpicks the seams of myths, folktales and fairy stories, offering them up with new life. A self-assured debut.

At Damascus Gate on Good Friday is a selection of poems exploring life in the Gaza strip, where the author lived for a period.
