  There was a time when I was falling, 
  My enemies surrounded me. 
  I was wounded and weary. 
  I felt so weak unable to fight anymore. 
  My eyes were dark and, 
  my strength was almost gone. 
  I prayed and cried out to God; I felt forsaken. 
  I was hurt and felt abandoned. 
  Then I reminded myself of his words 
  that he will never leave me. 
  I cried with my whole heart, 
  He heard me and save me from my enemies.

  The Complete Poems of Emily Brontë brings together the full body of poetic work by one of the most powerful and enigmatic voices of English literature. Best known for her novel Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë was also a poet of remarkable intensity, whose verses reveal a deeply imaginative, spiritual, and fiercely independent mind.
  
  Written largely in solitude, Brontë's poems explore themes of nature, solitude, freedom, death, faith, and the eternal struggle between the human soul and the forces that bind it. Her language is stark and elemental, often drawing on the wild landscapes of the Yorkshire moors to express inner passion and transcendence. Many of the poems reflect a longing for spiritual liberation and a defiant resistance to confinement—both physical and emotional.
  
  The collection also includes poems connected to the imaginary world of Gondal, a richly invented realm that served as a creative outlet for Brontë's most dramatic and visionary ideas. These works showcase her gift for lyrical intensity, rhythmic power, and emotional depth.
  
  The Complete Poems of Emily Brontë offers readers an intimate encounter with a singular poetic voice—one that is haunting, uncompromising, and timeless. This volume stands as an essential addition to any lover of classic poetry, revealing the profound inner world of a writer whose poetic legacy continues to inspire and captivate generations.

  In 2022, James McDermott lost his sixty-year-old father to COVID after three weeks in intensive care. In* Father Myself*, his second collection from Nine Arches Press, McDermott explores his father's complex illness and death; grief; growth and how as a queer boy then a bereaved son, he had to learn to father himself.
  In clear-sighted and often hard-hitting poems, McDermott takes the reader onto the frontline of the pandemic – documenting the experience and trauma of a COVID-bereaved family with an unflinching eye. Both powerful and compassionate, these extraordinary poems have the capacity to go beyond simply a record of events, reaching sensitively for the human details that matter – the beat of a heart and movement of breath, the touch of a hand, the words we use for goodbye.

  Published to commemorate the author’s 100th birthday, this wide-ranging and thoughtful collection reflects on history, colonisation, family, childhood, Aboriginal Dreaming, traditions and storytelling, working lives and people. 
  Sometimes wistful, melancholic, poignant, at times the author’s wry sense of fun and humour shines through. 
  When he arrived in Sydney in the 1960s, Bigambul man, Uncle Wes, was not allowed to tell his stories at schools. He set up a fire bucket in his backyard and invited families and children from the local Aboriginal community to come to sit around the fire and share his stories. It did not take long for the police to arrive and arrest him for hosting an unlawful gathering – he spent two days in lock-up for sharing his stories. 
  Uncle Wes is a living treasure of Aboriginal storytelling wisdom. Through his poems Uncle Wes invites the reader to join him by the fire as he generously shares his reflections and reminiscences on one hundred years. 
  'It is my pleasure to honour Uncle Wes for his work in retaining the age-old storytelling tradition of our people. It is important to maintain this tradition of our Elders sharing their knowledge and insight through story and verse. Thank you Uncle Wes, for sharing your poems with us as you celebrate your 100th year.' - Dr Anne Pattel-Gray: Head of the Australia First Nations Program, World Vision Australia 
  'Uncle Wes Marne has a unique ability to allow the reader to see through his experienced eyes. The power and wisdom of his words is now more than ever important for the future generations to understand the time and place they exist in.' - Ben Bowen: CEO, Indigenous Literacy Foundation
