An eclectic gathering of work from one of the outstanding English poets of our time.

Farley P: When It Rained For a Million
Years / LF

When It Rained For a Million Years

A Norton Short

Drawing on deep passion and personal experience, former US Poet Laureate Tracy K. Smith demystifies the art form that has too often been mischaracterised as "inaccessible", "irrelevant" or "intimidating". She argues that poetry is rooted in fundamentally human qualities innate to our capacities to love, dream, question and engage across diverse cultures and backgrounds. Lifting the veil on her own creative process, Smith shows us how reading and writing poetry allows us to confront life's many uncertainties and losses, to build camaraderie with strangers and to understand ourselves. She grounds readers in the technical elements of the craft and provides close readings of the works of contemporary poets, alongside classic poems. By reimagining and re-examining the age-old art form, Fear Less is a warm invitation to find meaning, consolation and hope through poetry.

How To Think

The Poets That Made Our World and Why We Need Them

How to Think Like a Poet

Does loss define us or do we define loss? Tracing the duality of grief as it reverberates through a family, Callie Siskel wrestles with questions of identity and inheritance in precise, lucid poetry. Two Minds indulges and therefore exposes the vanity of turning private pain into art and the pursuit of self-revelation. Drawing on ekphrasis, ars poetica and the prose poem, Siskel expands the elegiac genre as she oscillates between childhood and adulthood, art and mythology, as well as the natural and domestic world. At once cerebral and emotional, Two Minds is an essential meditation on the ways that loss cleaves and doubles our perceptive power.

Poems

Two Minds

swoon/swu?n/verb1. faint, especially from extreme emotion. 'The girl swooned and had to lie down'2. be overcome with adoration, or other strong emotion. 'She was swooning over Him'Etymology traces to the Old English word 'geswogen', meaning 'overcome'On the eve of her wedding, a young woman wrestles with transitions: from adolescence to adulthood, from longing to holding, from womb to birth, from life to death, from darkness to enlightenment, from waking to dreaming, from love to grief. There is only one choice: death or change. In 2023 Imogen Wade won the National Poetry Prize with her poem 'The Time I Was Mugged in New York City', gaining her a wide audience. Finally, we have her stunning debut collection, Girl, Swooning, in which Wade looks at womanhood, love, death and religious experience. Distinctive, beguiling and compelling from the start, Girl, Swooning marks the emergence of a thrilling new voice.

Girl, Swooning

As an Irish-American family gathers for Thanksgiving weekend at their home on Long Island, they must confront the decades-old tragedy that haunts them all.

The Irish Goodbye

This eloquent literary collection from Ellery Chapshaw reflects on her time as Natalie Snyder in the long-running soap opera As the World Turns, uncovering a different, darker reality behind the camera through poems and personal essays.
Within the soundstage of a Brooklyn television studio on E 14th St., a young girl believes her acting career is all bright lights and playing dress up, but her messy reality is in stark juxtaposition to the glittering world of the tv cameras. Capshaw takes an unflinching look at growing up inside the three walls where life begins, ends, and lingers for the cameras, while real life with all its troubles keeps on going.
Confronted with the challenges of fitting in, defining identity, and enduring the tragic loss of her real life father, Three Walled World unravels the ghosts that remain—those around us and the ones within.

Three Walled World

It's 1977, and punk rock has just hit Liverpool. The legendary Eric's club is home to the city's rebels, posers and misfits. It's a place of attitude, adventure and new possibilities, and it changes lives. Some become pop stars; Penny Kiley becomes a music journalist. The story traces Penny's relationship with the music scene from the turbulent political 1980s into the changing culture of the 21st century. Throughout these years, she never stops being a misfit, and the question remains: how do you navigate normal life when punk is dead and you don't know you're autistic? Atypical Girl begins as a coming-of-age story and ends as a midlife reinvention. What unites them is a search for identity and the role that music plays in all our lives.

Liverpool, Punk Rock and Trying to be Normal

Atypical Girl

A dazzling second collection from “an immensely gifted poet” (Eduardo C. Corral, author of Guillotine).Spanning Appalachia to California, Will Brewer’s new poems attempt to make sense of some of life’s darkest turns: a father’s bout with leukemia, the slog of mental illness, a friend’s early death, and the rise of environmental catastrophes in the West.Yet despite these difficult moments, strands of light emerge: the smell of an orange on a plane, the starburst of a car hitting a power line, a citrus tree in California sun. Mysterious hair loss prompts dermatologist visits and reveals “how dignified it felt / to be looked at like that, to be read, / a record of past exposures / becoming a map to possible futures.” It is the type of knowing in which “knowing nothing for sure feels like a special kind of freedom.” Over time, a seemingly endless night gives way and an aubade opens to a new possibility: love.The second book of poems from this rising and lauded author, Nocturama offers a presence of mind and spirit that notices the mysterious, even in the wake of disaster.

Nocturama

This is the first encyclopedia devoted exclusively to medieval women’s writing&nbsp;globally. Focusing on the thousand-year period between 500-1500, this comprehensive reference work addresses a long-standing gap in scholarship on women writers from this period. It challenges current understandings of the literary tradition of women by incorporating early writers and texts that remain marginal and by expanding definitions of textual composition to include more collaborative&nbsp;and contextual&nbsp;activities.&nbsp;This encyclopedia also presents women in context of the global Middle Ages.&nbsp;Entries extend beyond works written in England, Scotland, Ireland,&nbsp;and Wales to include works by women from Europe, Africa,&nbsp;and Asia. By locating medieval women’s writing within its cultural, social, religious,&nbsp;and political contexts,&nbsp;The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Medieval Women’s Writing&nbsp;in the Global Middle Ages&nbsp;will be an ideal entry point for students and researchers coming into the field, and a valuable resource for established scholars.
