An article on quantum entanglement and the behaviour of sub-atomic particles inspired the beginnings of this poetry conversation. In particular, the idea that once entangled particles remain connected however far apart, a kind of 'particle telepathy'. What does this mean for our connection with loved ones after they've gone? Sarah Thomson and Nigel Kent have a poetry conversation

Shakespeare for Sociopaths is a collection of sociopathic characters commented on, caged in the Shakespearean sonnet form. My whole life I've been immersed in a milieu of dark characters - in my bed, in my head, in pop culture, books. This book represents the union of two twin passions/obsessions of mine: the Shakespearean sonnet form and villainous characters. Shakespeare himself was certainly fascinated with these kinds of characters and hou...

The first half of this poetic conversation offers the people's voice - how Hoi Polloi survive under a Tory government. The voices ramble into ridiculous scenarios concerning the fate of the planet Earth and its inhabitants. They switch to the sublime with musical meanderings as if even music would disappear...not transfer into a new world. Like any rollicking conversation, this ventures up alleyways and down theatrical stairs. Part call to arm...

Kristin Garth's work is a vulnerable piece of writing, connected with hybrid memoirs. It is filled with sonnets upon sonnets of language that is precise, detailed, and profound-her words hitting us like punches in the guts. The poems in this book are as naked as the clothes Garth removes as a stripper, layer upon layer of pain, abuse, and self-worthlessness echo in the imagery, yet there is a constant flash of light throughout the darkness.Can...

Vertigo to Go is a lyrical hymn to the power of poetry to sublimate pain and fear into art that is unafraid to confront the problems of the world.

Reading the poems together is like stepping into a forest where each tree has a highly individual character. Patricia M Osborne does really well to conjure up such a playful range of voices that feel different yet enhance one another, and her shifts in stanza length add brilliant disruption." John McCullough - Poet (Shortlisted for the Poetry Costa Award 2019) "Patricia M Osborne writes of the natural world with keen observation and a sensitiv...

Katie Proctor's Seasons is a collection of temporal elegant epiphanies well suited to a pandemic plagued culture. In Firsts, " Proctor writes of the knowledge that shadows such experiences- 'knowing nothing will ever be quite like this again.' She speaks of distanced lovers imagining touching flesh and pressing flowers of the other's hometown into a book. The tactile details of this collection are timely in their taunts of the 'melted endlessn...

The "chengyu", Mandarin Chinese for idiom, condenses a feeling, sentence and more often than not a story into four characters. Similarly, each of Leung's poems is a cross-section, aiming to capture a slice of the world, or a relationship and presenting them to the reader as representations of the whole.Each of the poems in chengyu: chinoiserie are literal translations or re-interpretations of a Chinese idiom, referencing the duality of identit...

In Dewy Decimals, her gifts for rhythm and rhyme propel a scintillating story of sexuality and literature and their interconnectedness. These poems smolder on the page, then blossom in the mind as the poet comes into her own. Every word, every image, is earned. A powerful collection that is both liberating and a p...

Anatomy of A Dress explores messages regarding how women have historically been encouraged to dress, mainly for the pleasure and subjugation of the patriarchy. Poems for this book were written as the final culmination of thoughts and research that developed over a couple of years. This process began with a visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. I was not writing poetry at that time. Focused on visual art, I stumbled upon an ...
