Jacqueline Brown
Fractured Flights
"These are clear-eyed poems of identity, isolation and love. They give glimpses into the ambivalence of reality, haunting as the after-image of an owl on glass." Pauline Stainer
The Black-Out Book
The Black-Out Book, the author's third book of poetry, deals with navigation in its many guises, taking points of departure from a variety of domestic, social and political contexts, but above all, attempting to chart and fix points in collective and private histories.

Tony Roberts
Sitters, Tony Roberts' second collection of poetry, is a portrait gallery of well-known and lesser-known figures form the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Chris Emery
Dr. Mephisto
"This is a remarkable debut collection by Chris Emery. He possesses an attack vocabulary and has the ambition to think the unthinkable. Cross yourself before reading Dr. Mephisto." John Hartley-Williams
Michael Haslam
The Music Laid Her Songs in Language
Michael Haslam sees his job as brewing strong lyric from the mash of his ordinary life: working the mills, the dole, walking the hills as he goes, composing a liberal philosophy of the tea-break .

Emma-Jane Arkady
Lithium is a first collection from a writer who has only comparatively recently made an appearance on the poetry scene. The 'lithium' of the title - a metallic element, and also one of the drugs used in the treatment of manic depression - hints at the rich and unusual mix of poems in this volume.
Donald Atkinson
A Constant Level of Illumination
"Donald Atkinson deals in serious and considered themes - including violence, cruelty and arguments about war. He creates telling imagery and narrative... shown in a moving series of dramatic monologues." Stella Stocker, Wayfarers 90
Katherine Gallagher
Tigers on the Silk Road
Divided into five sections, each contributing to a collage which explores the themes of identity and belonging, this collection is a powerful, personal journey through the contrasting landscapes of the physical and inner worlds.
Clearing A Name
In Clearing a Name, the author undertakes a very personal journey, re-visiting his Roma roots in and around Blackpool and distilling memories, half memories and family mythologies into the sharp focus of the present.
A C Bevan
Of Sea Graves and Sand Shrines
These are clever, witty, quirky poems which make you alternately smile and sigh by turns - and, after reading this highly entertaining collection, you will find that when you next hear the Shipping Forecast, it will seem slightly different.
