My name is Pickle is about a little girl and the things she loves. As she goes through life she encounters a bundle of firsts, with imagination, excitement, and giggles. She is filled with love, laughter, and surprises. She will snuggle right into your heart. She has magic in her smile and the things she loves are things I bet you love, too. My name is Denise or Nina to some. I am a retired educator, wife, mother to four adult children, grandm...

A brilliant outing from one of the finest poets currently working in the English language.

An enormously gifted writer . . . a voice that is instantly recognisable.' Guardian 'Her writing is perfectly weighted, justifies its existence.' Observer 'A terrific talent.' Carol Ann Duffy

‘Riley is an enormously gifted writer.’ GuardianDenise Riley has pursued her singular path with a determined disregard for poetic fashion: a poet of immense musical gifts and formal skill, as happy in traditional forms as experimental, her non-alignment with any ‘tribe’ has led to a rich and various poetry that, while densely allusive and intellectually uncompromising, remains emotionally open towards the reader at the most profound level.

A collection of essays on the everyday workings of language and how language shapes our social and political existence.

In this extended meditation on the language of the self within contemporary social politics, the author ponders the question: What does it matter what you say about yourself? She studies why the requirement "to be" a something-or-other should be so hard to satisfy in a manner that rings true in the ears of its own subject.

A new edition of a classic work on the history of feminism. Writing about changes in the notion of womanhood, Denise Riley examines, in the manner of Foucault, shifting historical constructions of the category of "women" in relation to other categories central to concepts of personhood: the soul, the mind, the body, nature, the social. Feminist movements, Riley argues, have had no choice but to play out this indeterminacy of women. This is mad...

A collection of essays and some related poems by almost 30 contemporary poets who have worked for years outside the "mainstream" of British publishing. Many are or have been small-press publishers and editors too.
