A 'Selected and New Poems' from one of Ireland's most important religious poets of recent times.

Letford's long-awaited third book is a tour de force of storytelling and poetry that has the narrative punch of a novel, taking us to the not-too-distant-future, where an artificial intelligence rules the world and a working-class family use their wits to live off the land.

Fred D'Aguiar's new collection connects the condition of namelessness of a famous black jockey with a present-day need to give back to those lost souls the dignity of their names.

With the world turned upside down following the sudden death of a same sex partner, the poet works through the aftermath, negotiating the people and 'stuff' left behind, and transforming difficult lived experience by interrogating language as a means to process grief and loss, ultimately finding love, hope and catharsis.

Rebecca Goss' fourth and most ambitious collection, Latch, is a study in the act of returning. It is about reconnecting to a place, Suffolk, and understanding what it once held, and what it now holds for a woman and her family. These poems unearth the deep, lasting attachments people have with the East Anglian countryside, gathering voices of labour, love, and loss with compelling particularity. The book is various, unpredictable: memory and magic interweave, secrets tangle with myth. As in her earlier books, Goss again draws on her distinctive ability to plough difficult, emotional terrain. Here is an anatomy of marriage, her parents' and her own, while the natural world becomes an arena for the emotional push and pull that exists between mothers and daughters. The return to a childhood home recalls young siblings retreating into nature as they steer the adult lives that disintegrate around them. Readers will find themselves beckoned to barns, fields, weirs, to experience both refuge and disturbance: we are shown a county's stars, and why a poet needed to return to live under them.

A Poetry Book Society Summer Recommendation 2023. BBC Poetry Extra's Book of the Month August 2023. This, Lisa Kelly's second collection, responds to the repression of British Sign Language (BSL) as its occasion and inspiration. Kelly develops the subject through extended sequences which attend to mushrooms and fungi, lifeforms that develop in secret, unnoticed, unappreciated, yet whose existence enriches everyday life. What can such hidden others teach us - if we attune all our senses?

Winner of the Michael Hartnett Poetry Award 2024. Shortlisted for the Derek Walcott Prize for Poetry 2023. Shortlisted for the Pigott Poetry Prize 2023. Tara Bergin's third collection, Savage Tales continues to explore original territory, bringing the riddle, song and dialogue into a series of formally inventive and blackly comic sequences. Bergin's book asks us to steer our way through a chorus of exchanges and situations, as she charts the fraught course between the making of individual poems and, uneasy bedfellow of this sustained activity, an authority which is always here called into question. Dramatizing the contemporary and the classic with great wit, ingenuity and panache, Savage Tales confirms Bergin as one of the outstanding poets of our time.
