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.

There can be no doubt that Karen Macfarlane is a special talent. In All About the Surface, her closely observed, resonant poems convey the richness of the moments she explores. Whether it is open water swimming, walking a ridge, or running down the hill at Clachtoll, Macfarlane’s impressive command of her craft transports the reader into her world to live those experiences with her, to share their pleasures, to encounter their challenges and to be the wiser for having done so.

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.
