Sinopse

After Sylvia is an anthology of new writing celebrating the work and legacy of Sylvia Plath. Published by Nine Arches Press in October 2022, the book honours the 90th anniversary of Plath's birth through a range of compelling poems and thought-provoking essays by leading and up-and-coming poets and scholars from the UK and beyond.
After Sylvia is shaped around five inspiring chapters, each exploring a key Plathian theme: Nature, Rebirth, Womanhood, Mothers & Fathers and Magic. Co-edited by Ian Humphreys and Sarah Corbett, contributors include Mona Arshi, Emily Berry, Mary Jean Chan, Heather Clark, Pascale Petit and Jacob Polley.
This vital anthology sets out to help dispel the myth of Sylvia Plath as tortured genius destined to her fate, by expressing the power and complexity of her work, legacy and reputation as one of the most important and influential writers of the 20th century.

    Building Bridges is set in 1965 in Anderston, Glasgow and examines the reaction of deserted husband, Billy Speirs, and his family to the return of his estranged wife, Bernie, whose mother has been taken seriously ill.  
    It is a tale of bitterness, betrayal, and the absolute enduring strength of love when a community was sliced up to make way for a stretch of inner city motorway and the Glasgow Kingston Bridge. Just as the earmarking of Anderston as a Glasgow Comprehensive Development Area faced mixed reactions, the couple’s tentative and nervous steps back to one another faced opposition and difficulty and like the opinion of much of the community at that time, it was clear that things were never going to be the same again.  
    The heart was getting ripped out of the place, just as it had been ripped out of Billy. Decisions have to be made, loyalties examined, and painful truths faced. Better days were coming, however, in the promise of new corporation housing, and it is against this backdrop of demolition and renewal that Building Bridges opens.

    My Mind My Hand Writes 
    By R. Omar Casimire 
    My Mind My Hand Writes is more than a poetry collection—it is a living archive of consciousness, memory, ancestry, spirit, travel, loss, resilience, and revelation. Spanning more than four decades of writing, this body of work gathers over 140 poems composed from the late 1990s through 2025, forming a deeply personal yet historically resonant literary journey. Each poem stands alone as a moment of reflection, but together they form a unified testament to a life lived with awareness—of history, of family, of faith, of injustice, and of love. 
    At its core, My Mind My Hand Writes is a declaration of creative immediacy. The title itself speaks to the unfiltered connection between thought and expression—the sacred instant when consciousness flows directly into language. There is little separation between reflection and inscription. The mind conceives; the hand records. What results is poetry that feels intimate, spontaneous, and honest

    Concerned with questions of aging and mortality, A Second Space furthers 93-year-old Nobel laureate Czeslaw Milosz’s reputation as “arguably the greatest living poet” (Edward Hirsch, New York Times Book Review). 
    “Milosz continues exploring his own version of the meditative lyric, refusing to rest on his laurels…. Consequently, he joins the ranks of other great poets of old age, such as Robert Penn Warren and W. B. Yeats himself.”—The New York Times Book Review 
    A SECOND SPACE 
    How spacious are the heavenly halls! 
    Approach them on aerial stairs. 
    Above white clouds, there are the hanging gardens of paradise. 
    A soul detaches itself from the body and soars. 
    It remembers that there is an up and a down. 
    Have we really lost faith in the second space? 
    And they’ve dissolved, disappeared, both heaven and hell? 
    Without unearthly meadows how to meet salvation? 
    And where will an association of the damned fill its abode? 
    Let us weep, lament the enormity of the loss. 
    Let us smear our faces with coal, loosen our hair. 
    Let us inplore that it be returned to us, 
    That second space.
