'these basements that taught me to breathe;my body happening in the space between moonlight &the leather straps wrapped round an old dyke's wristgender split open like a crass piñata on the sticky floor' Ciara Maguire's poems explore the bright fields and dark corners of love. They are heartbreaking, sexy and addictive. 'Impossible Heat is a work of claustrophobia, heat, and longing. Sexual ideation extends from the mind of the speaker to colour and consume everything. Long lines and rich cadences hold the reader in a vice, just as the speaker is offered no reprieve from her own intensity of feeling. Amidst the erotic, there is a profound hopelessness that doesn't stop the poems being witty and manic, as the speaker struggles with privacy and performance, with a fear of perception but a desperate need to be perceived. The emotional incisiveness of this work is stark, its euphony sumptuous.' Susannah Dickey 'A nest-making of threads and mirrors, sapphic rorschachs revealing everything and nothing that might be told in the salt content of sweat and the tonguing indent of lyric. These generous poems drift through the gap someone left in your bedroom window. Here are dreams, tragedies of homosexuality, domestic horror shows, a cascade of utopian performatives, moonlight, a summer that may or may not ever end. What innocence is lost or won in love is felt in the sensory plenitude of our speaker's imagination. Maguire is a master of anaphora, list and simile. Impossible Heat surrenders to its own melting, poems yielding magical hyperobjects which metabolise into tender adhesives, binding us irresistibly to this book. This is a work of devotion, connection, eclipse, desire and discovery. Its charm is quietly devastating.' Maria SledmereVer livro
In England the Victorian Age was about to become the past and a new age of worldwide wars of horror and slaughter would envelop and decimate generations, forever staining mankind. The Century would see the World discover strengths. The Democracies would stand firm against Fascism and later Communism yet still keep its own elite and privileged in power and the rest of us underfoot. The World was more connected than ever before. Culture accelerated its kaleidoscopic and interwoven journey. Transport delivered people by car and train and then aeroplane to far flung corners of the globe. Empires were at their zenith and ready to fragment with new nations, many troubled, rising from their decay. The natural world continued to be plundered and pillaged for its resources by industries who pledged ‘more’ and ‘better’ and would clothe and feed a growing world yet sow the seeds now ready to devastate us in our current times. The globe was as vibrant and violent as troubled and tarnished as it ever was. But new ideas, new political systems, new times changed everything once again. 1 - The Poets of the Early 20th Century - Volume 1 - An Introduction 2 - At the Grave of the Forgotten by Effie Waller Smith 3 - Preparation by Effie Waller Smith 4 - A Rajput Love Song by Sarojini Naidu 5 - My Dead Dream by Sarojini Naidu 6 - The Poet's Love Song by Sarojini Naidu 7 - The Royal Tombs of Golconda by Sarojini Naidu 8 - Real Property by Harold Monro 9 - Midnight Lamentation by Harold Monro 10 - Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird by Wallace Stevens 11 - The Emperor of Ice Cream by Wallace Stevens 12 - The Snow Man by Wallace Stevens 13 - Disillusionment of Ten O'Clock by Wallace Stevens 14 - The Wayfarer by Patrick Pearse 15 - The Mother by Patrick Pearse 16 - To My Daughter Betty, The Gift of God by Tom Kettle 17 - On Leaving Ireland, July 14th 1916 by Tom Kettle 18 - Tenebris by Angelina Weld Grimké 19 - The Eyes of My Regret by Angelina Weld Grimké 20 - Image by Edward Storer 21 - The Blind Ploughman by Radclyffe Hall 22 - Ode To Sappho by Radclyffe Hall 23 - Ardour by Radclyffe Hall 24 - Palace by Guillaume Apollinaire 25 - One Evening by Guillaume Apollinaire 26 - The White Snow by Guillaume Apollinaire 27 - The Heart of A Woman by Georgia Douglas Johnson 28 - When I Rise Up by Georgia Douglas Johnson 29 - Sunlight and the Sea by Alfred Noyes 30 - The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes 31 - The Rose by John Cournos 32 - Among the Rodins by John Cournos 33 - The Volunteer by Herbert Asquith 34 - Autumn, 1914 by Mary Webb 35 - Fallen by Alice Corbin 36 - Two Voices by Alice Corbin 37 - The Joy of a Dog by Edgar Albert Guest 38 - See It Through by Edgar Albert Guest 39 - It Couldn't Be Done by Edgar Albert Guest 40 - An Old Woman of the Roads by Padraic Colum 41 - A Prayer by James Joyce 42 - Tilly by James Joyce 43 - Sleep Now, O Sleep Now by James Joyce 44 - Night Piece by James Joyce 45 - Translation by Anne Spencer 46 - White Things by Anne Spencer 47 - Deirdre by James Stephens 48 - Midnight by James Stephens 49 - La Vie C'est La Vie by Jessie Fauset 50 - Dead Fires by Jessie Fauset 51 - Spectral by John Drinkwater 52 - The Life of Love - Spring by Khalil Gibran 53 - On Pain by Khalil Gibran 54 - Autumn by Khalil Gibran 55 - Song of the Flower by Khalil Gibran 56 - Proof of Immortality by William Carlos Williams 57 - This Is Just To Say by William Carlos Williams 58 - The Crowd at the Ball Game by WilliamVer livro
'you need to be a warrior right now,especially in Wetherspoon's where you're slightly scaredto take a pissand for comfort you search 'Mudlarking' on your phone,as you squat in the cubicle with one footpressed hard against the doorin case someone should come inand realise what you are.'

'There is an artful balance of humour and melancholy that makes these poems into a gorgeously unforgettable experience for the reader. Jackson's poetry embodies both trans joy and trans vulnerability in such a candid and heartfelt way that it leaves a beautiful mark on the mind.' Golnoosh Nour 'This collection is essential reading: powerful, arresting, brave, heartbreaking and funny. Jackson's 'glissando' journey from 'geezerbird' through 'decomposing girlhood' and 'premature elation' to 'phoenix' is told with wry humour, deft imagery and open-hearted candour. It ought to be on every school syllabus.' Maggie ButtVer livro
One Language is a remarkable debut collection. From the perspective of a female photojournalist, these concise but complex and insightful poems draw on first-hand experience of war to explore how damage is generated and perpetuated. The book's title expresses the contradiction between the lingua franca of photography and the equally universal language of violence. One Language comes to an understanding of personal history and global conflict in poetry that is as immediate and evocative as the most urgent of dispatches.Ver livro
