Rite of Passage

Bury, Dom
9781780375496
Dom Bury's first collection Rite of Passage is an initiation into what it means to be alive on the planet in the midst of extinction, of climate, environmental and systematic collapse. It is a journey into the shadow of man's distorted relationship with the earth. And yet in the utter darkness of this hour, these poems suggest that there is hope.

To Abandon Wizardry

Caley, Matthew

Matthew Caley's seventh collection speeds through a world where it's harder and harder to tell what's 'real' and what's not. Its title relates to waning national myths and fakery: Harry Potter World as an alibi for the rest of Britain, because the rest of Britain is Harry Potter World, as well as Deep Fake, QAnon, fake news and official news.

Outlandish

Clement, Jo

Compelled by a brutal Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller diasporic legacy, Outlandish tenderly praises the poem-as-protest and illuminates a hidden and threatened culture.
