We are Migrant
The poetic voice in this collection is restless, urgent, sad, and knowing. The knowing is a felt knowing, made in what Glissant calls the ‘Poetics of Relation’. We move through the collection across continents and camps, looking into the eyes of despair and consequences of war, insisting that even the lives wasted are not wasted. Insisting of the grief that is life.

The Siren Awakens
Linda Jackson’s ‘The Siren Awakes’ is a haunting, heartbreaking and often hilarious dissection of the author’s own childhood and early adulthood; a real world of monster masks, dark closes, dazzling sunlight, love, fear, and, particularly, music. Gentle innocence and sudden cruel violence exist side by side. (Graham Fulton, Poet)
