Griffin Poetry Prize Anthology 2026

A Selection of the Shortlist

AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW'Deeply moving.' VOGUE'Completely blew me away!' MARC JACOBS'Beautiful and wise.' COLM TOIBINA sundrenched graphic novel adaptation of one of the greatest love stories of our time. 'We were friends first and lovers second. Perhaps this is what lovers are.'On the Italian Riviera, Elio welcomes his father's house guest. Oliver is the picture of arrogance - all billowing shirts and snide comments - and Elio is convinced that Oliver will be someone he'll grow to hate. Thrown together, a friendship blossoms as the pair spend endless hours walking treelined streets, enjoying sun-soaked lunches, and besting each other at tennis. Soon, Elio finds himself longing to make Oliver laugh and relishing glimpses of his glistening skin sprawled poolside. Over the restless weeks of the summer, an undeniable connection deepens as the two become entwined in the one thing both fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy. For the first time, from artist Sarah Maxwell, comes the gorgeous graphic novel adaptation of this international sensation. What Call Me By Your Name means to readers:'I cannot express enough how deeply I connected with this story, it really is a whole experience.''Passionate, intimate and eternal.''The love and intimacy we all desire at every level.''Wistful, emotional and painful . . . all in a good way.''This is one of the great love stories.'

Call Me by Your Name: The Graphic Novel

Those of us who identify as multi-cultural and exist in-between and across places, spaces, cultures and languages are in search of poetic means to understand and represent the experiences of being an insider-outsider. This volume responds to that challenge: taking Venice and the Veneto as a creative site, the author demonstrates how poetry focussed on hybrid, interstitial subjectivity can be mapped into this storied location. Using the structuring metaphor of the archipelago, the book exemplifies how the islands of the Venetian lagoon reflect the way that poetry - as individual works that coalesce to form a focussed collection - can be used to create a cartography of the self that is multiple but interconnected. Drawing upon scholarship around literary nomadism, flânerie, self-translation and cultural geography, the author shows how a personal relationship to a creative space opens a Third Space that challenges fixed ideas about belonging, alienation and nationality. In doing so, in-between-ness is revealed as a generative position from which to write and translate poetry.

A Poet’s Guide to Venice and the Veneto

Winner of the Margaret Mallett Award 2026 Follow a little boy's friendship and journey with one tree, in this powerful and beautiful love letter to nature. From master wordsmith, Benjamin Zephaniah, comes a breathtaking new poem and story showing how trees offer us the perspective and connection to nature we crave in our daily lives. The final scene is an honest representation of the devastating effects of deforestation and urban development, encouraging all of us, everywhere, to 'leave the trees, please'. With resplendent illustrations from bestselling Melissa Castrillón, this book is both magnificent and timely. Also available in hardback.

Leave the Trees, Please

Signature Editions

“If there’s one thing I love, it’s a novel that’s ambitious, that’s kaleidoscopic, that’s large in scope and unafraid of its expansiveness—a novel like The Chinese Lady. Wang’s novel is a rich tapestry that follows the life of the first Chinese woman to be brought to America…. This novel is stunning—glittering and alive. It deserves a place on your bookshelf.” – LitHub “Riveting…With nuanced character work and detailed storytelling informed by deep research into immigrant life in the 19th-century U.S., Wang offers a clear-eyed depiction of the myriad ways her protagonist is dehumanized. It’s an admirable achievement.” – Publishers WeeklyAs rich in detail and emotion as Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club and Lisa See's Lady Tan’s Circle of Women, but with an exciting structure that reinvents the genre, Bo Wang’s gorgeous and immersive debut historical novel immortalizes the life of the first Chinese woman to be brought to the United States in the 1800s.Little Sparrow, Julia, Afong Moy, Madame Moy, The Chinese Lady, were her many names . . . but her true name has been lost to time.In 1834 Afong Moy was brought to New York by two merchants as a live exhibit. Rising to fame as the first Chinese female in the United States, she became an oddity among curios as Americans marveled at the opportunity to observe her astonishing little feet, broken and bound to resemble lotuses.As the story moves from 1820s Canton to P.T. Barnum’s American Museum, to Gold Rush San Francisco, three women introduce us to her many names. Her mother calls her Little Sparrow and sells her to a captain who sails her to New York. The captain’s wife names her Julia and “graciously” treats her as her own. And when she is shunted off to P.T Barnum, her fellow human exhibitions call her China. Eventually arriving in San Francisco's Chinatown, she will at long last claim her name and her own story.Combining archival research and brilliantly imaginative storytelling, Bo Wang masterfully fills in history’s gaps to weave a powerful narrative of survival in the face of hardship, tragedy, and betrayal. Told through the eyes of those around her; mirroring her life as an object on display, until we finally see the world through her own eyes.

The Chinese Lady

FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF&nbsp;SING BACKWARDS AND WEEP 'Expressionistic and visceral . . . exhilarating and unexpectedly funny'&nbsp;THE I PAPER Poetic, raw, hallucinogenic and darkly witty,&nbsp;Devil in a Coma&nbsp;charts Mark Lanegan's terrifying, mind-expanding experience of acute illness and the confrontation it forces with mortality itself. Struck down by Covid-19, drifting in and out of a coma, unable to walk and given little hope of survival, these diaries see Lanegan assaulted by nightmares, visions and regrets about an existence lived on the edge of chaos and disorder. In arresting prose and at times transcendent poetry,&nbsp;Devil in a Coma&nbsp;is one man's intimate reckoning with a lifetime spent cheating death.

Devil in a Coma

Why do we write poetry? Who should create it? And where do you even start? Well, Brian Bilston, one of the UK's most hilarious and best-loved poets, is here to take us through the hows, whys and whats of reading, writing and enjoying poetry every day. With his characteristic wit and charm, Bilston accompanies us through the jungle of imagination to the source of inspiration, takes us under the bonnet of a sonnet and over the fear of literary devices. He gives us a whirlwind tour through the history of verse, and shows us why human poetry will always triumph over any attempts by AI. Showcasing over a hundred brand-new poems, and including practical critiques of some of his greatest hits, every page is an immensely pleasurable deep-dive into the life-affirming craft of poetry and a passionate argument for why we should all pick up a pen. How to Lay an Egg with a Horse Inside is for anyone who loves words and all the things they can do. Reader Reviews: 'Love the author's humorous take on creating poetry . . . absolutely brilliant!' 'I laughed my way through the book.' 'I'm not a poetry aficionado but this book made me feel like I could write poetry!' 'A lighthearted gambol through the topic of poetry' 'Absolutely hilarious - the kind of poems you'll love even if you don't consider yourself a 'poetry person''

An Alternative Guide to Writing and Enjoying Poetry

How to Lay an Egg with a Horse Inside

Passages - Transitions - Intersections

This volume explores the complexities and variations of the nation and examines its transformative potential within the broad field of literary studies through various literary works, including fiction, autobiography, poetry, and theater. The authors address phenomena such as global capitalist exploitation, and its conjunction with other forms of violence, including colonialism, racism, sexism, xenophobia, and white supremacy. They engage with literary texts and film that reflect on, and disseminate, both hegemonic and, importantly, counterhegemonic discourses across the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. Each chapter engages with productions that speak from minoritarian and/or racially oppressed perspectives, including works representing Black American transnationalism, perspectives of refugees of color, immigrant and Palestinian voices, Romani positionalities, and Caribbean diasporic perspectives. Focusing on these cultural texts, our authors examine the effects of, as well as resistance to, a variety of vectors of oppression. These include U.S.-American anti-Black racism and anti-migrantism, in connection with the exploitation of the working class; European anti-Roma violence; 20th-century Zionism; the violence of European border regimes; and forced migration and the segregation of refugees into camps.

Words of Dark Love & Eternal Devotion

Our Hearts Entangled

SHORTLISTED FOR THE DIVERSE BOOK AWARDS 2026Bracing and essential, a radical reframing of British Romanticism through the lens of Black experience - for fans of David Olusoga, Gretchen Gerzina, Saidiya Hartman and Emma Dabiri'A masterpiece about how history is made, written with power and ferocity' Boston GlobeWordsworth, Shelley, Byron, Keats - the Romantic poets are titans of English literature, taught and celebrated around the world. Their writings are associated with the sublime power of nature and revolutionary politics. But these literary icons also lived through the climax of the transatlantic slave economy. They witnessed both the explosion of the abolition movement - and the reactionary formation of white supremacist ideologies.The Trembling Hand examines how the lives and works of six major Romantic authors were entangled with the racial politics of their era. Mathelinda Nabugodi studies manuscripts and archival treasures - a teacup, a baby rattle, a lock of hair - to recover startling links between the poetry of freedom and the practices of slavery in the Romantic period.'Urgent . . . One will never look at these poets in quite the same way' The New York Times'Ambitious and ingenious, Mathelinda Nabugodi engages the reader in the quest to re-see, re-imagine and re-read the past' Colm Tóibín

Reflections of a Black Woman in the Romantic Archive

The Trembling Hand

A hands-on guide for poets who want to make work beyond the page. How can a poem become an image, a soundscape, a performance, an erasure, a tactile object, or a digital encounter? A Writer's Guide to Multimodal Poetry brings together poets, visual artists, editors, publishers, and teachers working across the expanding field of multimodal poetics. Pairing examples of artists' work with craft essays and writing exercises, this collection gives readers practical ways to combine poetry with visual art, sound, music, movement, archive, found materials, digital media, and performance. Contributors share the tools, choices, and compositional processes behind their work, from blending text and image to experimenting with rhythm, translating across media, using erasure and collage, and designing interactive or embodied reading experiences. Rather than treating multimodal poetry as an add-on to traditional forms, this book shows how medium itself can become part of the poem's thinking. The essays explore audio-modality, image-text hybrids, musical influence, alphanumeric translation, lyrical improvisation, neo-concrete poetry, archival practice, found poetry, mythic reimagining, tactile experience, and more. Designed for writers, artists, students, and teachers, A Writer's Guide to Multimodal Poetry offers both inspiration and instruction: a field-defining introduction to multimodal poetics and a practical invitation to make poems that move through sight, sound, touch, space, and screen.
