Polly Bee
Polly Bee weaves the rustle of leaves and the hush of dusk into poetry that charms the senses and awakens the spirit. Rooted deeply in the natural world, this collection invites us to look again—more gently, more closely—at the world we so often rush past. With a light turn of phrase, Polly B meets contemporary anxieties with grace, these poems are strong and tender, offering glimmers of hope amidst the noise. A quiet balm for a restless age.

ClotaLinda Devlin’s Clota is a bold rush at the world, like the collection’s namesake: goddess of the River Clyde. A mirrored ball reflecting numerous versions of ourselves and the spaces we occupy, this collection invites the reader to look closer, question ‘laundered thoughts’ and admit the dark truths of damage received or delivered. There is an undeniable fragility but, like the river, currents of strength run deep and fast. Renewal’s All I can do is add my fragment to the whole lingers long after reading. (Morag Anderson, poet)

Songs for Lara
Jim Ferguson has ten books of poetry already under his belt and this latest collection is a most welcome addition to his vast repertoire. A particular favourite is Domestic Day, a slow meandering through house-hold chores that Ferguson turns into pleasures, whilst the making of soup becomes a meditation in nourishment, soup wae wine, a Vikings shield against the snowfall.
Songs for Lara is more than just a love story, it’s a story of love found between the lines, or in the secret places where we sometimes fear to venture.

Replacement Service: Collected Bus Poems
Charles Bukowski is a master at writing in a similar fashion about the underclasses but Graham Fulton’s work is better by miles. Not a wasted word and each phrase as carefully balanced as a swaying drunk on a bus.
