Routes

Rhiya Pau

Sinossi

At the core of this debut collection is a question – what is worth holding onto?
Through poetic experiments that blend the academic and the artistic, Rhiya Pau queries complex characters and tender landscapes. Routes journeys from Ba's kitchen in Sonia Gardens to Independence hour in Delhi, across the pink shores of Nakuru, to meet a painter on Lee High Road.
Celebrating fifty years since her community arrived in the UK, Pau chronicles the migratory histories of her ancestors and simultaneously lays bare the conflicts of identity that arise from being a member of the East African-Indian diaspora. In this multilingual discourse exhibiting vast formal range, Pau wrestles with language, narrative and memory, daring to navigate their collective fallibilities to architect her own identity.
'[Routes]...holds up to the light the wisdom of the past, and asks what else is passed down along with it...a work of humane intelligence, formal experiment and linguistic verve' - Sarah Howe, Judge of Eric Gregory Awards 2022

A Lifetime of Days - the...

Brett Alan Dewing

The poetry of Brett Alan Dewing – together in one place for the first time. 
Dewing's work examines life under God, lived in "the eucharistic world". With a keen sense of wit and wonder, Dewing stretches the boundaries of language and familiar forms (some of the poet's own design, such as the villanette and the vela). Believing that a poet is by nature at a loss for words and that every poem must be a failed attempt to express our "Substance Insubstantio", he has left no combination of words unturned during his decades-long career. 
Covering a span of over 30 years, this collection includes four previously published collections:Have You Not Heard?Take, Eat, Remember, and BelieveReliquariesthe beginning of the blood: Christmas and Advent poems 
as well as debuting some brand-new work.

After the Love (OLD & MATURE) -...

Jeffrey V. Perry

Finding one’s self is not a product of age or time. But, learning to love and accept ourselves can be. Every day we learn that we cannot deceive our self until we must face our truth. You need no mirror nor any outside help. You will only have you. 
This poetry is written in various styles and on different subjects. It is inspired writing on spirituality, religion, history, romance, and social commentary.  
"Rebuke not an elder, but entreat him as a father, and the younger men as brethen". Timothy 5:1 (KJV) 
After the Love is the ultimate reflection, once age and experience have become memories. Hope is now not what we await, but what we finally can give.
