How do we maintain connection in times of disruption? This Is How I Fight by Rosie Garland interrogates gods, beasts and monsters, but not to hammer down simplistic answers.

Lady, the new collection of poems by Laurie Bolger, plays with the arc of a chick flick. Whilst trying to be the most honest version of themselves the poems play the parts of housewife, fitness instructor, landlady, hen, sister, mother, boxer or drunk.

In 2023, Nine Arches Press launched their nationwide Primers scheme for a seventh time, in search of exciting new voices in poetry, with Katie Hale and Jane Commane as selecting editors.

Primers Volume Seven now brings together a showcase from three exciting new voices. Through engagement with language, connection to place and time, and the stories we tell or are told about ourselves, these lively and revealing poems offer an essential, insightful collection of new work from some of poetry's most talented emerging voices.

The Apothecary of Flight is a heady flight into the art of poetry itself: its vital importance as a tool for expression; for understanding and translating the self; for articulating the sheer force and joy of poetry and the way, for a person with autism, it can hold and celebrate both the smallest and weightiest of life's experiences.
