Poetry from Around the World
Poets from outside the UK & Ireland, writing in English
Painting the Bamboo Tree
In her mesmerising first collection, Gail Dendy unleashes a panoply of sound, smells, colours, rhythms from her native South Africa in a sequence of poems which, though dealing with the familiar, the intimate and the every-day, have a haunting strangeness.
...her poems have a delicate beauty. Her strength is her finesse and throughout her book the haunting understatement is a delight.

Small Stories of Devotion
Dinah Hawken won the 1987 Commonwealth Poetry Prize with her first book.
In this stunning and unforgettably elegiac book, female sensuality and spirituality are celebrated, standing together rather than split the way Christian culture has encouraged. It is a journey of discovery using very precise language, myths and contemporary writing to question our spiritual condition.
