Sinossi

In "Later Poems," Alice Meynell showcases a refined blend of lyrical beauty and contemplative introspection that encapsulates the essence of her poetic evolution. Composed during a period marked by profound personal reflection and societal change, these poems resonate with themes of nature, faith, and the transient nature of existence. Meynell's distinctive literary style is characterized by her mastery of imagery and rhythm, conveying profound emotions through concise yet vivid language, all while reflecting the broader movement of late Victorian poetry that sought to merge art with deeper existential inquiry. Alice Meynell, a prominent figure of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was not only a poet but also an influential critic and editor who championed the works of her contemporaries. Her literary journey is deeply intertwined with her experiences as a woman in a male-dominated landscape, and her exploration of faith and spirituality profoundly influenced her work. Her keen observations on the world, paired with personal trials and societal shifts, led Meynell to seek a poetic form that could articulate the complexities of human experience, profoundly mirrored in "Later Poems." I highly recommend "Later Poems" to enthusiasts of lyrical poetry and those interested in the exploration of the human condition through the lens of nature and spirituality. Meynell's eloquent verse offers an enriching experience that invites readers to ponder their own existence, making this collection a poignant addition to any literary archive.

Mother | Line

Ankita Saxena

What do we inherit from our mothers? From our grandmothers? From the legacy of colonisation and empire? Mother | Line, Ankita Saxena's debut poetry collection, charts lineage in all its forms, delving into female rage, compassion, and endurance. Drawing on the author's British Asian heritage and experiences growing up as a woman in an increasingly violent world, this collection weaves together the personal and the political in ghazals, odes and specular poems, which hold a mirror to the world and to themselves. "We are daughters of Kali", Saxena writes, and "mothers linger on the sides, hearing us become them; / our routines only theirs to thank for, our spices, / our blends, and even our greedy tongues.
"A sublime and considered collection, speaking to, and spanning lineage, inheritance, friendship; what it can mean to be a girl, a woman in the world — across continents, oceans, time." - Rachel Long

Annabel Lee

Edgar Allan Poe

Annabel Lee is the last complete poem by Edgar Allan Poe. Like many of Poe's poems, it explores the theme of the death of a beautiful woman. 
The narrator, who fell in love with Annabel Lee when they were young, has a love for her so strong that even angels are jealous. He retains his love for her even after her death. 
There has been debate over who - if anyone - was the inspiration for Annabel Lee. Though many women have been suggested, Poe's wife Virginia Eliza Clemm Poe is one of the more credible candidates.

The Fabulanarchist Luxury Uprising

Jack Houston

Playful, formal, satirical and tender, the poems in The Fabulanarchist Luxury Uprising are wildly wide-ranging. Jack Houston whisks the reader through meditations on family life, the teachings of Lucretius, the sexual potential of Captain Barnacles, and dreams of a socialist utopia, managing to be both deeply weird and touching.
In his debut pamphlet, Houston draws out and scrutinises the mundanities of life, showing how they can form part of something much bigger. His poems aim to awaken the capacity for revolution within us all, even if it only gets us as far as the roundabout in the local playpark.
"In the year 2121, we're all now too aware that a sofa is simply a bench

constructed from the hewn corpse

of a tree, covered in a mesh made from the amniotic fibres

of oppressedly mono-cropped cotton plants

& filled with the plumage

from many a murdered full-grown duck [...]"
