Take a poetry-pathway less travelled and enjoy this navigation through a selection of poems from a variety of new and established voices from the contemporary poetry landscape. Travel through the poems’ lyrical scenery, exploring the human, animal and mythical, witnessing everyday magic and vanishing acts along the way; find poems as maps designed to get you lost and discover legends resurfacing in the present day city streets.
This anthology celebrates five years of independent publishing by Nine Arches Press, and features a selection of poetry that they have published and put on the map during this time. This is poetry from the leading edge, plotting points from urban backwaters to legends and landmarks, and way beyond; out into the poem’s wild imagined spaces, shadow places that can’t be found on the official maps or surveys, firmly off the beaten track.
Featuring poets: Phil Brown, Peter Carpenter, Tom Chivers, Myra Connell, Claire Crowther, Angela France, Roz Goddard, David Hart, Luke Kennard, Ruth Larbey, Chris McCabe, Matt Merritt, Daniel Sluman, Maria Taylor, Deborah Tyler-Bennett, Tony Williams & many more.
In Angela France’s third poetry collection, Hide, what is invisible is just as important as what lies within plain sight. Layers of personal history are lifted into the light and old skins are shed for new; things thought lost and vanished long ago are just on the edge of perception, yet certainties before our eyes vanish in the blink of an eye...
the Nine Arches Press blog features a showcase of poems from many of our poets, as well as interviews and articles.
