Versions by one of Britain's best-known poets of Yannis Ritsos (1909-90) - along with Cavafy, Seferis and Elytis - one of the most significant Greek poets of the 20th century. Harsent's selection is of poems written while Ritsos was in prison or under house arrest.

Jiving with Wasps is a new retrospective from Ireland's Rita Ann Higgins drawing on a dozen collections from Goddess on the Mervue Bus (1986) to The Long Weekend (2024).
