Anna Mendelssohn (1948-2009) authored poetry, fiction, drama, and life writing; she was also a visual artist, musician, and translator. From the early 1980s, Mendelssohn composed 19 poetry collections and published in journals receptive to her experimental, charged lyrics, and retained a marginal, if constant, presence in the poetry community.

The first issue of Shearsman magazine for 2017, featuring poetry from across the English-speaking world plus translations from Japanese, Dutch and Polish.

The Gestaltbunker encapsulates the diversity of Paul A. Green's output during his long subterranean career. His engagement with nuclear apocalypse, global melt-down and the excesses of media landscaping is modulated through surreal inscapes and an intensifying torsion of language.

Poetry by Isobel Armstrong, Tom Bamford, Geraldine Clarkson, Mary Coghill, Susan Connolly, Jen Crawford, Anamaria Crowe Serrano, Alison Fraser, Anne Gorrick, Harry Guest, Ben Hickman, Lynne Hjelmgaard, Gary Hotham, Norman Jope, Nina Karacosta, John Latta, Maitreyabandhu, David Miller, Paul O'Prey, Sonia Overall, Simon Perril, and others.

Includes poems that concern with the nature, from both a perceptual and ontological perspective, of continuing and intrinsic identities.

Discusses about voices taking each other for granted, saying 'etc etc' and not listening, nevertheless turning out to duet. This title contains double- and multi-columned poems, where each column can be read in its own right (or left), and also read across the columns.

Features poems that speak of specific narratives and landscapes, past and present, as in Cardiff, or Spain. This work tells individual stories, like the hill farmer leaving his farm, or the Navy diver encountering his own unexploded feelings.

Offers tales of families, of growing up, and of the world around us, seen with uncommonly fresh eyes.

'Firewriting' is John Muckle's first collection of poems, following two collections of short fiction. The book revolves around the long title poem, an extraordinary conceit which imagines that Walter Benjamin survived and lived to an advanced age. This and the supporting poems demonstrate the author's narrative skills.

A collection of short lyrics by this Devon-based poet, imbued with his trademark compression of language.

This volume is a journey embarked on via contradictory terms that occur when one attempts to explore the limitations of human (vs?) sentient abidance. Postmodern problems with things and places such as home, body, language, tradition, and rabbit hole become the relative metastructures through which these contradictions are channeled.

How do we find anchorage in a time of planetary crisis, 'our words/ for world migrating'? 'What is common in this. Explain.' "These are poems that open us to new relations with the world." (David Herd)

Douglas Oliver (1937-2000) was a poet with a substantial reputation in the late 1980s and 1990s, finding a larger audience for his socially-committed poetry in a way that no other of his poetic background had done, or perhaps wished to do. This is an important retrospective survey of a significant British poet.

Arrivals of Light is the latest collection by the expatriate Scottish poet, Robin Fulton Macpherson, and his first to be published in the UK for many years. Shorter and more gnomic than the work that first made his name in Scotland, these poems open up a new direction for a poet who still has much to say to us in his 80s.

Finally in one volume, this book brings together all the various parts of Maurice Scully's magnum opus, written over a 25-year period: 5 Freedoms of Movement, Livelihood, Sonata and Tig. Most of the individual components of the book have been out of print for some time. The author has revised the entire work for this first complete edition.

Will Stone reclaims here his role of cerebral journeyman: an inveterate trawler of history, moving between epochs and events, between personalities, cultures and landscapes, leaving behind delicate silken threads of suggestion, salvaging what remains of the humanistic in delineating the replicating tragedies and punishments endured by the fallen.

Epic Series brings together three long poems by Elena Rivera previously published in small press limited editions. These poems delve into the complexities of becoming and into what it means to be from more than one world, where memories, languages and stories are carried and swallowed up by much larger histories.

This issue includes poetry by (among others) Kate Ashton, Richard Berengarten, Daragh Breen, Giles Goodland, Lucy Hamilton, Jill Jones, John Phillips, Hannah Star Rogers, Jaya Savige, Janet Sutherland, Helen Tookey, Judith Willson and Elzbieta Wojcik-Leese, plus translations of Sylvie Marie (from Flemish) by Richard Berengarten.

Last Harvest brings together poems of place, poems on religion, poems on family and friendships, and poems that rebel against the passing of the years. [...] enough however here for mysteries, times to get lost on, found again, a different beauty, wilder, spread, bare and always the past put there in stone to stay

Combines a revised text of the first part of "The Memory of the Drift" (written 1993-1999, and originally published in 2001) with the three interlocking, previously uncollected, books in which its argument is extended: "In the Common Era, Dog Mercury and Vicinal.

A collection of essays on the highly individual art of the Irish poet, Maurice Scully; the volume contains an interview with the poet together with essays by J.C.C. Mays, Aodan McCardle, David Lloyd, Kit Fryatt, Lucy Collins, Michael S. Begnal, Eric Falci, Mairead Byrne and Philip Coleman.

The poems in Youthful Verses cover the years between 1913 and 1915, a period of unparalleled freedom in Tsvetaeva's life. Recently married and with a baby daughter, she chronicles in a sequence of astonishing honesty and frankness her love for a slightly older woman poet.

With The Red Place, Lars Amund Vaage has written a rich and complex poem that radiates great tenderness for the different dimensions of life. The poet takes us on a journey inwards and backwards in time. He is visited by the dead, by his mother and his father. Music is important, and we see him at the piano as a child, a youth and a grown man.

Motive & Opportunity is principally located in Los Angeles, where the poet has lived and worked since 1968. The five pieces collected here are various attempts at poetic language trying to settle in this metropolitan sprawl of contradictions. Or as Carey McWilliams said: an Island on the Land, "very much a city that refuses to know itself."

The prose poems in The Underground Cabaret form the final volume of a quartet, following on from New York Hotel, Identity Papers and Makers of Empty Dreams.
