The Ramazan Libation

Alamgir Hashmi

The Ramazan Libation

Lyrical, compassionate and personal on the one hand, ironical, political and wryly humorous on the other, these poems take us to America and Europe as well as through the rich, vibrant countryside and cities of Pakistan.

This is poetry which looks both to the East and the West and in so doing, establishes its unique position in English-language poetry — unusual, beautiful and enduring.

Fever Tree

Jackie Wills

Fever Tree

Jackie Wills travels through landscapes of place, memory and imagination with a luminous clarity. Many of her poems are rooted in an ordinary, domestic world of family; others take us on journeys — from South Africa to the Sierra Nevada, via Shoreham Airport Cafe. All are voyages of discover, mapped through her precise observation and vividly sensual images. She manages beautifully the conjuring trick of writing poems that begin with simple moment, observation or place, but that spin off, tracking soundwaves through space to become lyrical and humane meditations on the possibilities of life, love and death. — Amanda Dalton
