Two Ravens
What are the most important things for us – that identify us, that make us human? Is it down to physiology? How big a part is played by our personal history, the place we live, the people we relate to, the beliefs we hold? What might be the influence of those who have come before us, and by what means do we remember those forebears, both near and far off? How deeply are we connected to the landscape? And if we lose the power to think, to remember, do we also lose our identity? More questions than answers, but here contemporary poets take a close look at these issues, throwing fresh light on the intriguing and complex ways our minds and memories work to make us who we are.

Lovely, Dark and DeepPoems about woodsWoods and forests are secret places, sacred places. They have been cherished as shelter and sanctuary, places to escape to from the pressures of everyday life. But they have also been feared as places of mystery, darkness and loss. Exploited for their resources or seen as expendable by human beings over many ages, they are now seen as saviours of humanity in the face of our man-made climate catastrophe.

Not Past, but ThroughPoems about riversConstantly in motion, seen or unseen, rivers flow through all our lives. They are neighbours with whom we have shared a chequered history. We have enjoyed their beauty, taken our recreation on their banks, exploited their resources, polluted their waters. But rivers are not passive, and have flooded our homes, swamped our meadows and farmland, swept some of us to our deaths. They command both love and respect.Edited by Joy Howard ISBN: 978-1-8381979-1-9Available now from Gardners or direct from Grey Hen PressRetail price £5 + £1.00 p&p (£3.50 Europe £4.50 US and worldwide) Booksellers discount 40%.NB A donation of 50p from the sale of each book will be made to the Eden Rivers TrustOrder By Post (Cheque / Postal Order)

Out of ContextAn anthology of ‘found’ poemsThe literary equivalent of a collage, ‘found’ poems take existing texts and refashion them. Words, phrases, and sometimes whole passages from other sources are reframed, thus imparting new meaning. Sometimes humorous, sometimes deadly serious, all these poems make a telling point.Edited by Joy Howard’This brilliant collection demonstrates that you can take a commonplace piece of prose, shuffle the words, perhaps add some of your own and come up with a remarkable poem. A bit like those cathedral windows which consist entirely of glittering fragments from elsewhere. The original could be a news report, a child’s sampler, a recipe, a government handout, a school logbook from another century or a popular magazine which juxtaposes serious news with inane adverts. These poets are an inventive lot. You will certainly find something here which gives you ideas.’ Merryn Williams ISBN: 978-1-9996903-1-1Available now from Gardners or direct from Grey Hen PressRetail price £8 + £1.25 p&p (£2.50 Europe £3.50 US and worldwide) Booksellers discount available 40%.Order By Post (Cheque / Postal Order)

SONGS FOR THE UNSUNGUnremarked, overlooked, alienated, disadvantaged, marginalised, often despised. But the unsung represented here have lived life with the odds stacked against them – with greater or lesser success, but with courage and humanity. Edited by Joy Howard’They are everywhere. They curl on streets in quiet blankets, wait at borders, work in cabbage fields, staff hospitals by night. They can be unheard, unseen. But when you read the generous and eloquent poems in this anthology, they are no longer the unsung.’ Alison Brackenbury ‘This beautiful compilation illuminates lives of the unseen and unheard, unheeded and, at times, hated. Here is a migrant child making sense of insults, here someone kind meeting a stranger and listening. We are blessed witnesses, guided gently out of grey apathy, towards understanding. And those words. They sound like intonations, not to the careless gods above, but to the humanity within each of us.’ Yasmin Alibhai-BrownISBN: 978-0-9933756-4-4Edited by Joy Howard

Cracking OnPoems about ageing by women over 60Edited by Joy HowardForeword by Michele Hanson’Electric, formidable, challenging, witty, sombre, enduring, heart-felt, tender, reflective, valedictory poems. This is an anthology to see you through the bad times, to celebrate the good times. Be these poets stricken with grief or still dizzy with love after all these years, they remain sharp-eyed, sharp-witted, gutsy and dauntless in their many different approaches.’ Penelope Shuttle’Brave, thoughtful, humorous…the poems in this book explore with honesty and clear-sightedness the gains and losses – and the surprises – inherent in the process of ageing.’ Carole Satyamurti’This fine anthology has given women permission to say exactly what they feel about every aspect of the whole business of ageing. These poets aren’t fools: they know what they’re talking about, and they tell it straight. They have the courage to face the hard things; they have the grace and skill to write without self-pity and yet with the true voice of feeling. It is seriously good poetry: fresh, and well-crafted. It’s the fruit of accumulated wisdom and of long life-experience – brave writing, full of love and subversive wit and lyricism. You can trust such poems.’ R V BaileyAvailable now from Grey Hen @ £10.00 + p&p £1.50 (Europe ££3.50 US and worldwide 4.50) Order By Post (Cheque / Postal Order)

All the pleasure – well, almost! – and none of the pain.’ Berta Freistadt’In poetry which is wry and witty a whole brave life journey is explored. Beginning with that mythical lesbian milestone ’Coming Out’, the progress of love is treated to a beady-eyed scrutiny – although after the necessary scalpel comes an unsentimental but lyrical acceptance of ’a dear concordance/and a priceless peace’.
