Jill Jones’s ‘Brink’ reviewed by Anne Elvey
‘Jill Jones’ Brink is a book to spend time with, to contemplate and in it to encounter a mature writing where the multiplicity of selves, grounds, and contemporary ruptures are faced courageously and with an affirmation that poetic language, not so much in what it says but in its saying, can perform hope.’

Jill Jones’s ‘Brink’ reviewed by Autumn Royal
‘In continuation with a lot of poetry responding to ecological concerns, Jones necessarily merges the ecopoetical with the elegiac and alludes to the dystopian. As each page of the book is turned the poems become more experimental—to fracture is sometimes to articulate.’

Jo Langdon’s ‘Glass Life’ reviewed by William Farnsworth
‘Langdon’s poems are sweet, tender, angry, exciting, reflective, sad, and ecstatic, all varying on differing ideas, phrases and situations. Its key themes of fragility and strength are what keep these poems consistently powerful, reflecting through experiences and thoughts that are like the vagueness of lost memories yet recovered through the looking glass of poetry and its own fragile power.’

Anders Villani’s ‘Aril Wire’ reviewed by Adam Ford
‘Villani demonstrates bold and unexpected challenges to unspoken poetic conventions. What he achieves creatively and intellectually as a result marks him as someone who is prepared to think deeply about his art and capable enough to trace less-frequented paths or even carve out new paths for others to follow.’
