Simon Lichman's poignant poetry collection, The Punished Wound, was inspired by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Simon is the Founding Executive Director of the Centre for Creativity in Education and Cultural Heritage, a non-profit-making organisation in Jerusalem, which brings together Israeli and Palestinian, Jewish and Arab (Moslem and Christian) communities through educational programmes based on folklore. His poems reveal the psychological burden of wanting peaceful coexistence while one's nation is engaged in an ongoing military conflict.

A Different Land is the latest poetry collection from Frank McMahon, who began his career in Social Work/Welfare as a practitioner and manager, working for three Local Authorities, British Red Cross and ActionforChildren. He also served for nine years as a school governor. His last full-time post was to set up and manage a SureStart Children's Centre. His anger about injustice and compassion for fellow-humans in trouble inform many of the poems. But his profound joy in the natural world also give this book a great freshness.

Alwyn Marriage's poetry collection is a celebration of women and ranges from girlhood memories and the tenderness of parenthood to the intimacies and aggravations of later years, from insight into lives in different cultures to a roll call of remarkable women through the ages in which Pope Joan rubs shoulders with Jane Austen. An assured exploration of womanhood, with poems as abundant as the fruits in the pomegranate, resonant with love, birth, death, achievement, happiness and heartbreak. Small, unnoticed moments are brought into focus and held still enough to touch

Federal Gods by Clare Saponia is a work of poetry, exploring the inevitable knock-on effect of civil wars, western intervention and imperialism on civilians, who risked their lives to reach safety in Europe, only to encounter new conflicts on arrival.
