In the story ''Nada,'' an anguished mother whose son has been killed in Vietnam refuses the consolation of her neighbors and the medals offered by the government (''Tell the Mr. President of the United States what I say: No, gracias.'').

This is a debut that leaves bite marks in the most erotic and intoxicating sense ... In Her Jaws is here, finally, and it was certainly worth the wait.' - Victoria Kennefick'Taylor's language, form and imagery exhibit a remarkable freshness, resulting in work that manages to create a space between the uncanny and the familiar. Her sexuality and her feminism are carried candidly and address universals through the specifics of queer love and the experiences of women through history. This is the Irish lyric tradition queered in the manifold and finest meanings of that word. Taylor's is a poetry I do not want to be without. We are all the richer for it.' - Paul Maddern'In Her Jaws is by turns delicate and fierce; holding the reader gently in its muzzle, where we thrill to the awareness of teeth against our carotid. Taylor inhabits the natural world like no other writer working today; shapeshifting, questioning, and enthralling us with her curiosity.

Sisson called John Heath-Stubbs `a Johnsonian presence with a Miltonic disability' - a reference to the poet's blindness. This selection of an abundant poet restores him to a new readership with the work on which his popularity was based. His ground-breaking early poetry is given its due, especially the major long poem Wounded Thammuz, printed here in its entirety. Heath-Stubbs was at the centre of the New Romantic school. The Second World War left him as almost the sole representative of one stream of English poetry. He remains crucial to the 1940s and '50s, and was a popular presence into the 1980s, composing his later poems in his head and reciting from memory. Too long he has been sidelined by shifts of critical fashion. Selected Poems includes a critical preface by John Clegg who essentialises and celebrates the work.

The settings of these loosely contiguous fragments almost casually define a historical community, ranging around farm and fields, through furze and ragwort, headland and plantation, haggard and Bog - tracing the immemorial scenes of traditional farming life: cutting drains, harvesting, fencing, potato planting, beet topping a?' and their close and intimate topography is recalled with a Proustian fidelity to names (the Long Field, the Kiln Field, the Small Fields, the Hill Fields, Higgs's Field, the Passage, the old Deer Park, the Orchard, the Bottom Glen)The tentative oral fluidity of these remarkable poems flickers on the borderline of prose, resolving complexities into an impression of timeless pastoral life, at once archaic yet precisely pitched in time. Other poems in The Holy Land proffer alternative forms of capture and recapture, and resemble light-sensitive plates storing and restoring what one poem refers to as 'the understory'. Thus the stilled life of 1950s rural Ireland is recreated, with echoes of classical models such as Theocritus, or of traditional Irish materials from the Fenian cycle, celebrating 'the music of what happens'.

Soon after Visions of England was completed the Earl of Burford came to international attention when he leapt onto the Woolsack of the House of Lords in a principled protest against the Blair Government's plan to abolish hereditary peers' voting rights, which led to 92 remaining in the Lords. A few months later he left Nicholas Hagger's employ and the selection was buried under papers for nearly 20 years. In 2018 Nicholas Hagger came across Visions of England while preparing papers to send to his archive. It now seemed as if the selection had been made with Brexit in mind. The places are full of English history and culture, and the poems are prophetic in their anticipation of England's new spirit of independence. These poems convey Englishness with a freshness and vividness that startle. The Earl of Burford is a prominent lecturer and biographer, and his selection is noteworthy for the metaphysical perspective he brings out in Nicholas Hagger's profound poems whose traditional qualities constantly surprise and delight.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hagger, Nicholas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42115873767608,"sku":"9781789040487","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9781789040487.jpg?v=1734723235"},{"product_id":"9781556593833","title":"When My Brother Was an Aztec","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor: N\/A\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eUnclassified\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished on 17 February 2022 by UNKNOWN (N\/A) in the United Kingdom as part of 'the Unknown' series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback \/ softback | \u003cbr\u003e153 x 227 x 12 | 192g\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":null,"offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42115880845496,"sku":"9781556593833","price":19.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9781556593833.jpg?v=1734708981"},{"product_id":"9781787330993","title":"Words From the Wall","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor: Thorpe, Adam\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eLanguage\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished on 11 April 2019 by Vintage Publishing (Jonathan Cape Ltd).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback \/ softback | 80 pages\u003cbr\u003e131 x 197 x 6 | 100g\u003cp\u003eThese remarkable poems are despatches from the edges of experience: from the remote coast of northern Iceland where tree-trunks and dead whales lie beached, to the furthest outposts of the Roman empire in the title poem - 'From the very limit of the world,\/Flavius sends you greetings, my lord.'
