  And I Will Make of You a Vowel...

  Morag Anderson

  Winner of the 2023 Aryamati Pamphlet Competition. In her second chapbook, And I Will Make of You a Vowel Sound, Morag Anderson places centre stage an unlikely cast of neglected, exploited, and unsung characters. These poems uncover many of the contradictions of life lived in the female body and bear witness to largely forgotten yet highly-personal stories, woman by woman, girl by girl. Confident and assured of voice, she navigates womanhood and its attendant desires and abuses, permitting the reader to embrace the power and vulnerability encased in the female form. Anderson's delicate choice of words \'unlace restraint' and take us to the limits of the female body's potential.

  When Harry Baker first started writing rap infused poetry he was advised to "write about what you know" so instead of writing about killing people, or driving fast cars (over people), he wrote about mathematics.
  
  It is not all complex maths and algebra however but throughout Harry applies his mathematician's mind to conjuring complex rhythms that have to be read out loud to be believed.

  HOMER: The Iliad & the Odyssey

  Homer

  • 0

  Nearly three thousand years after they were composed, The Iliad and The Odyssey remain two of the most celebrated and widely read stories ever told, yet next to nothing is known about their author. He was certainly an accomplished Greek bard, and he probably lived in the late eighth and early seventh centuries BCE Authorship is traditionally ascribed to a blind poet named Homer, and it is under this name that the works are still published. Greeks of the third and second centuries BCE, however, already questioned whether Homer existed and whether the two epics were even written by a single individual. 
  Most modern scholars believe that even if a single person wrote the epics, his work owed a tremendous debt to a long tradition of unwritten, oral poetry. Stories of a glorious expedition to the East and of its leaders’ fateful journeys home had been circulating in Greece for hundreds of years before The Iliad and The Odyssey were composed. Casual storytellers and semiprofessional minstrels passed these stories down through generations, with each artist developing and polishing the story as he told it. According to this theory, one poet, multiple poets working in collaboration, or perhaps even a series of poets handing down their work in succession finally turned these stories into written works, again with each adding his own touch and expanding or contracting certain episodes in the overall narrative to fit his taste.

  The Story Is

  Kate B. Hall

  "If it's the beginning or the end, it doesn't matter as long as you tell it all."
  Frank, funny and poignant, Kate B Hall's new collection is a lifetime in the making. From her wartime beginnings as a 'difficult child' to the tentative joy of early great-grandmotherhood, the power in these poems shines through in the tension held between the tough and the tender.
  Finding no truth untouchable, Hall squares up to mortality, dementia and unloving mothers, yet almost always unearths a seedling of hope growing amongst the wreckage. Resilient and playful to the last, this is a book that loves hard, a long-awaited chronicle from a well-loved writer.
  "In this debut collection you'll find a glorious mix of the historical, quotidian, humorous and tragic. Kate B Hall confronts the often-devastating realities of life and death with a surprising lightness of touch, always leaving room for the reader to 'experiment with rejoicing'. Whether she is describing children's gas masks, the National Health Service, true love, the experience of cancer or the texture of pomegranate seeds, she writes with a beguiling and intimate directness. Pour yourself a cup of tea, put your feet up and read on." Jacqueline Saphra
  "As the title suggests this is an important document in recording the history of marginalised women in the UK. Part archive, part life map, The Story Is is eloquent, honest and passionate, and strong testament to a life well lived. Brilliant." Joelle Taylor
