In "Dagonet Ditties," George R. Sims presents a captivating collection of verse that intertwines humor, social critique, and poignant observation, reflecting the complexities of Victorian society. Through a series of whimsical ballads, Sims employs a colloquial and accessible literary style, reminiscent of street ballads and popular poetry of his time. Each poem in this anthology encapsulates a unique narrative voice, showcasing Sims' acute observations on themes such as poverty, love, and the human condition, all while embodying the spirit of the Dagonet persona he famously crafted—a comedic yet insightful character that exposes the follies and virtues of everyday life. Sims, an English author and playwright known for his affinity for the working-class experience, drew inspiration from his own encounters with societal injustices and the vibrancy of urban life.

After All We Have Travelled

Sarala Estruch

After All We Have Travelled,the debut poetry collection by Sarala Estruch, is a distinctive journey across time, continents and cultures, through memory and generations of family history, exploring the long legacies of empire and its personal and political effects. It is a story of intergenerational trauma, grief and disconnection, but it is also a story of the enduring power of love, of connection, and of embarking into motherhood.
Combining elements of memoir, biography, and fiction with formal and experimental poetry, Estruch's work explores the losses incurred by forbidden interracial and intercultural marriage, and is a potent reclamation of voice, story, and mixed-race identity. An important, compelling collection, it asks: What or who is family? What or where is home? And like the modern rose – a hybrid species with origins spanning the globe – to where do we return?
'After All We Have Travelled follows a young woman discovering her own complex history across cultures and languages, religions and lost histories. Where family mythologies meet silence, memory gives an emotive reasoning, singing into the void left by death and distance, using the lyric voice of self-making. This book charts a new terrain, a multiplicity of being mapped for future generations whose relationship to home is as yet unknown to its forebears.' – Sandeep Parmar

More Songs the Radio Won’t Play...

Stan Rogal

Lyrical poetry inspired by popular songs, Rogal sweeps the reader through the journey of creation.
		 
In More Songs the Radio Won’t Play, Stan Rogal takes formerly “popular” tunes (from various genres) and transforms them. Self-referentiality; mashups of the erudite and profane; allusions to other arts and sciences; the insertion and bending of biographical and historical facts; problematic snippets of philosophy and literary theory, quotes, and bastardizations; deploying non- or a-political language to challenge notions of how a poem should work; sampling; and off-kilter humour work together to update Rogal’s playlist for a present-day audience.
		 
While his poems unavoidably serve to comment on the world today, Rogal resists a central message. The true emphasis of this collection is on the process of creation. It’s not the destination but the journey that is of significance. Not mere cover versions, not exactly parodies (though parodic), these poems are redactions, mutations, Frankenstein’s monsters … they resemble the original — somewhat — yet are also grossly different.
