  A poetic project of preservation and sense of place. Rich imagery and language dives deep into the lives of coastal communities in the far north of Norway, from debut poet, Melissa Davies
  When the fisherman dies Fleinvær stories spill out silver strings, like guts from a spring catch. But between these pages they survive.
  The Arctic Diaries chart generations of the characters, myths and misremembered details that make up the oral traditions of a windswept archipelago in Norway's far north. Created over a single arctic winter, using stories gathered from the last surviving fisherman of Langholmen, this collection of poems are part history, part field notes, exploring what role the outsider plays in preserving the experience of another.

  Poets on Poets - Famous poets...

  Writing poetry always seems to be something we learn at school, usually beginning with a couplet of child-like rhyme that brings gales of laughter.  Later it may be agonising over a verse or two attempting to rhapsodise on love and then the years roll on with only an occasional desire to return.   
   
  In this volume we put together wordsmiths of the highest caliber as they write on Poets themselves.  Many of the poems provide valuable insights on how other poets are seen by their peers.  Some are deeply personal others are abstract.  Whether they speak at the celebration of a birth or the knowing tragedy of entering a slaughterous battle these poets take us into new uncharted territories revealing their inner selves in raw and tender ways. 
   
  Yeats, Flecker, Benet, Yeats, Dickinson, Coleridge, Millay, Levy, Gurney are but a few of their number who speak with the clarity, the eloquence and the truth that only a poet can know….but all can share.
