  In her first book, poet Havva Ramadan explores the pain of grief, the struggle of mental health, and the journey we all must take to collect our pieces and rebuild ourselves once again. 
  With a mix of her most widely loved poems and previously unpublished material, A Voice, narrated by the author herself, is a beautiful collection of Havva's work that shows her deeply personal and relatable journey. Havva’s words are a light in the darkness for anyone struggling to find their own inner strength and turn their pain into power. 
  And should they stop loving you one day 
  I hope you know that it was nothing to do with your 
  capacity to be loved but their own capacity to live up to 
  the expectations they had built within the love they had 
  displayed unto you. 
  I hope you know that it does not make you unlovable, it 
  just means that this love is no more 
  but that you will be more without it. 
  POWERFUL POEMS: Havva’s evocative poetry offers validation and encouragement for anyone struggling to find their own inner strength. 
  HIGHLY ACCESSIBLE: The honest, thoughtful, and inspirational reflections in A Voice will resonate with readers of all ages and genders. 
  AFFIRMING AND UPLIFTING: Havva writes with vulnerability, grappling with heavy subjects such as abuse, violence, grief, and death, while remaining uplifting and affirming. 
  SOCIAL MEDIA SENSATION: With a million followers across her TikTok and Instagram accounts—including celebrities such as Khloe Kardashian, Annie Lennox, and Alison Hammond—Havva Ramadan’s unique and compelling poetic voice has captured the attention and heart of people around the world.

  Memories and More - Narrative...

  The basic idea of this book is to share life experiences, and thereby give comfort and encourage smiles, by showing my own and others’ reflections on different life-situations. I am sure that many of them are comparable to those that occur in your life, or to others around you. By sharing 
  experiences, we all learn something. Women are probably sharing thoughts more often than men. Many of the events in this book have also been discussed in female groups. They have not all been personally experienced by me but are the consensus from these fruitful discussions.
   Now I am pleased to share them with you. Among the experiences discussed in this book: heartbreak, the #MeToo movement and my own experiences, divorce as its complication as a
   parent, and my own thoughts about the pandemic. I also share with you my thoughts about the aging process that we all must endure, if we are lucky enough to live that long, since life is still a gift given to us all. We ought to remember that and enjoy the journey.

  Impure thoughts

  Golnoosh Nour

  Riotous and fizzing with language, the poetry of Golnoosh Nour boldly explores what it is to be utterly alive and ecstatically, yet complicatedly, in desire. –Richard Scott
  Impure Thoughts is a dizzying dance through impurity's several selves. Half bal masqué, half Grand Guignol, Nour confronts the limits of desire with an almost uncanny intensity of focus. Even at their most tender and elegiac these poems tremble with the white-hot heat of libidinal energy and gleam with oracular fury. –Fran Lock

  Treasure

  "religion's been cruel to people like usthe darkwood sluts      the good time girlsbut god as my witnesssome of us           we're just trying to wrangle our powerback from the species that took it"
  Jemima Foxtrot's Treasure is a shining work of alchemy and liberation which explores power dynamics, sex work, desire, and female friendship with a fresh and playful perspective. Foxtrot investigates shimmering sexualities, the economies of desire, the theft of childhood and pathways towards reclaiming it. Her language is lush: intimate, intricate, full of fertile earth's possibility. The poems of Treasure live up to its name: showing us where the gold is—the joy—how to feed it into the soil of our lives.
  "Treasure is an aptly chosen title for this collection, both as a noun (that quantity of precious ore dug from the stuff of experience) and as a verb (the imperative to seek out, sing, and cherish joy through the sharing of it). Foxtrot is a savvy, sometimes savage, sensualist; her poetic speakers alert to injustice, but alive to pleasure in every way that counts. These are superbly tactile poems, poems of being-in-the-body, and being-in-the-world; they are full of wit, vigour and feminist jouissance. These are also formally exciting poems, poems that showcase a beautifully bold and oddly tender lyric defiance." Fran Lock, Hyena, T.S. Eliot Prize Shortlist

  Mahogany Eve

  An exotic and ambitious collection in which deceptively simple structures are built to carry an impressive weight of interest and reference. – Andrew Motion
  The guardian spirit of this book is a mahogany sculpture called Eve, part of the permanent collection in the Graves Art Gallery in Sheffield. She's looking over her shoulder. Her gaze takes in journeys across the Atlantic, beaches in the Caribbean, a boarding school in Yorkshire, departures and arrivals, home- comings, a grandmother buried in Port of Spain, two brothers on the Orinoco, Hindu gods and goddesses, runaways, castaways, slaves, a cartographer who never leaves his room, mothers and sons, fathers and sons, and a goat pulling a bishop on a sledge…
  Alan Payne's poems are rooted in the Caribbean, evoking a sense of separation and loss, and touch on the contradictions and betrayals of colonialism.
  Shortlisted for the 2025 Derek Walcott Prize
