  The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
  But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
  For centuries England has always had a leading and admired reputation for its poets and poetry.  In this volume we explore those born in the North-West who created such revered, enduring and respected verse.

  In this song-like collection of 50 short poems inspired by rural Prince Edward Island, Canada, Roderick MacDonald elevates the commonplace and simple in entertaining and thoughtful verse. 
  Through his poetry MacDonald invites the listener to accompany him on a gentle walk through the changing seasons on his beloved island. His words evoke the beach: sand under foot, lapping waves, and spectacular sunsets anointing old, abandoned lighthouses. He celebrates the harvests of both land and ocean. With him we tread red-dirt roads past fields of barley and tiny fishing harbours. We feel the island’s rhythms and glimpse its treasures: soaring eagles, shimmering lakes, and crackling campfires at end of the day…. 
  Listen now and be transported!

  The Accounts

  The death of a mother alters forever a family’s story of itself. Indeed, it taxes the ability of a family to tell that story at all. The Accounts narrates the struggle to speak with any clear understanding in the wake of that loss. The title poem attempts three explanations of the departure of a life from the earth—a physical account, a psychological account, and a spiritual account. It is embedded in a long narrative sequence that tries to state plainly the facts of the last days of the mother’s life, in a room that formerly housed a television, next to a California backyard. The visual focus of that sequence, a robin’s nest, poised above the family home, sings in a kind of lament, giving its own version of ways we can see the transformation of the dying into the dead. In other poems, called “Arguments,” two voices exchange uncertain truths about subjects as high as heaven and as low as crime. Grief is a problem that cannot be solved by thinking, but that doesn’t stop the mind, which relentlessly carries on, trying in vain to settle its accounts. The death of a well-loved person creates a debt that can never be repaid. It reminds the living of our own psychological debts to each other, and to the dead. In this sense, the death of this particular mother and the transformation of this particular family are evocative of a greater struggle against any changing reality, and the loss of all beautiful and passing forms of order.

  Menopause: The Anthology

  The subject of Menopause is just beginning to break the barrier of taboo, and become a mainstream discussion point, but that discussion has until now been very serious, medical, and, we would argue, heterosexual and white. This anthology of poems and short fiction aims to address that, with wild and wonderful writing from humour and anger, relief and distress, by women who have experienced menopause, whether naturally or as a result of surgery; with a healthy dose of views from the global majority and the lesbian, bisexual and trans communities.
