buy it from abebooks.co.uk  


I put a lot of tabs in this one!


42. by Kim Moore

Bulldozers Undoing God by Mabfoutha Ishtayyeh

Telephone Girls by Holly Hopkins

Bless Grace Jones & Midnight in the Foreign Food Aisle by Warsan Shire

I’m Shouting I LOVED YOUR DAD at my Brother’s Cat by Cecilia Knapp, even the title it packed with emotion.

Foreplay by Claire Askew which I read as an uncomfortable reflection on power.

Scholar by Emily Berry

Monster Tinder by Anna Cheung

Sunset on 14th Street by Alex Dimitrov

The Worries by Molly Naylor especially for is closing lines “… | Maybe the worries stopped me doing more | or maybe everywhere I went, | the worries took me there.”

Boys Over Flowers by Stuti Pachisia

Nerve by Peter Scapello – one of those time when I feel a little smug for have already read their book before “discovering” the poem here…
