'Deluge', as with Charlotte Ansell's previous books - 'you were for the poem' and 'After Rain' - displays an unerring emotional honesty. Confronting therapy, family, as well as social shifts like gentrification, Charlotte draws perspective from the community she lives in and distils it into the poems that make up this stunning collection.

The poems in A Quickening Star are brought into increasingly vivid focus line-by-line, each line like a frame in a well-crafted film opening sequence. This loaded narrative quality of Sue Morgan's work is particularly evident in the short but harrowing 'Forced Entry', which begins with "The click-tick/ of a cockroach on a dark ceiling" and escalates by the tenth line to "he knows/ a hundred ways to harm without marking". Whether tackling abuse, mental health or romance, Sue Morgan's poems transport you to a space where curtains are parting and a quiet music is creeping in. Born in Lancashire in 1958, Sue Morgan spent much of her childhood in South Africa, working abroad for many years as a teacher, before marrying and moving to Northern Ireland where she still lives. She counts as her mentors Ciaran Carson, Sinead Morrissey and Leontia Flynn who have all been influential in her development as a poet. Her submission Let Red Hibiscus Fall won the Venture Pamphlet Award in 2013 and she was runner up in the Seamus Heaney Award for New Writing in 2015.

A Suburb of Heaven is based on Stanley Spencer's work and the part-imagined life of Anna O, patient zero of psychoanalysis. Spencer's predilection for using Biblical scenes in a rural context carries a narrative impetus that Pnina Shinebourne builds on, and she deftly invents Anna O's history, complete with music notes and linguistic asides.

Peter Ebsworth is a poet in love with the stage. Enlisting heavyweights such as Sarah Kane and Samuel Beckett to Sticky Vicky, the veteran Benidorm erotic entertainer, as extras, his debut collection, Krapp's Last Tape, shows him to be a true connoisseur of high and low culture.

The Sideways for It is a tour de force of poetic invention. Crafted to read as the eye leads, the poems are experienced both as commentary and personal engagement. Ian's work draws us into 'the silence of space,' urges us to observe the bridge cupping its shadow 'like a lover,' and the 'delicate proboscis of the moth'.

The poems in Katie Hale's Breaking the Surface are populated with totems of our wild, essential truths- from the raven bearing witness to death, to the wolf's dark appetite. Hale interrogates desire in its different forms and unpicks the seams of myths, folktales and fairy stories, offering them up with new life. A self-assured debut.

A debut poetry publication.

In this precocious first collection, James Byrne explores the transitory process of time, connecting past and present through intricate attention to themes of childhood, love and nature.

In 'Where We're Going, We Don't Need Roads', aliens and time machines, Lambrusco and apocalyptic first kisses, broken relationships and breast-shaped mountains are perfect companions for a delicate dance through Hill Valley, Wagamama and potato fields in Nepal. The language, open-hearted and burlesque, is lifted from hypnotherapy podcasts, ad agency jargon, the fine distillate of the worst things we think about ourselves. These are poems alive with tingling histamines and humming generators. They slip between lines of conversation, sneak into your bedroom at night, haunt your dreams.

Described as a poet of the world, Jacqueline Saphra's work dances between personal and profound to offer a striking vision of growing up and growing older, mothers and motherhood, femininity and gender relations, all framed against the backdrop of a modern world, itself subject to growing pains. 'The Kitchen of Lovely Contraptions' is her debut.

Snorkeling beneath dust and deep, the poems in 'The Dishonesty of Dreams' shapeshift from tender to tough at line-break speed in an ethereal dreamspace. Where Adrienne J. Odasso explored consequences in her first collection, 'Lost Books' (2010), here she engages the liminal, the reality that exists at the borders of a lived life; the fables we choose to build upon, the lies we tell ourselves to make our dreams true. In this liquid space emerges poetry of real power, beautifully crafted conjecture that illuminates the architecture of the human heart. Adrienne J. Odasso's poetry has appeared in a wide variety of strange and wonderful publications, including Sybil's Garage, Mythic Delirium, Jabberwocky, Cabinet des Fées, Midnight Echo, Not One of Us, Dreams & Nightmares, Goblin Fruit, Strange Horizons, and Stone Telling. Her début collection, Lost Books (flipped eye, 2010), was nominated for the 2010 LNPA Best New Poet Award, the 2011 Forward Prize, and was a finalist for the 2011 People's Book Prize. Adrienne is also the author of two chapbooks, Devil's Road Down and Wanderlust for Maverick Duck Press. She lives in Boston, Massachusetts.

Pigeon Party celebrates urban life, hardship and raving. From the young, low-trousered boy selling packets on the corner, to the working-class holiday in Skegness and a Dancehall rave in the back of a Carribbean food shop. This collection cannot help but uncover colour and spice where usually we assume only dirt or dust.

Batman's Hill, South Staffs is non-linear sequence of poems set largely in Staffordshire, between 1961 and 1972. Quietly contemplative and playful with language, the poems derive their energy from the dialogue between memory and hindsight.

Inklings, is the debut poetry pamphlet of Sarah Westcott, runner up in the inaugural Venture Award for poetry.

'The mouthmark Book of Poetry' is an anthology of the individual-author titles published under the mouthmark poetry pamphlet series, comprising the work of Nick Makoha, Inua Ellams, Jacob Sam-La Rose, Jessica Horn, Truth Thomas, Denise Saul, Malika Booker, Janett Plummer and Warsan Shire. The series was conceived by flipped eye publishing's senior editor, Nii Ayikwei Parkes, as a means to get poets from non-mainstream backgrounds - including performance - into print. It was revolutionary for two reasons; first, it was a pamphlet series developed with a specific aim (later, tall-lighthouse would launch its pilot series, and, much later, Faber would launch its New Poets Initiative); second, it was a finite series - to end after ten pamphlets. After some success with the first two pamphlets in the series, Nick Makoha's 'The Lost Collection of an Invisible Man' (2005) and Inua Ellams' '13 Fairy Negro Tales' (2005), the Arts Council of England provided funding for the next four. It took six years for the series to be completed, but its impact far exceeded expectations. Authors such as Inua Ellams, Jacob Sam-La Rose (later editor of the last pamphlet in the series), Nick Makoha and Warsan Shire, have risen to international prominence; three of the pamphlets were cited by the Poetry Book Society pamphlet selectors for their quality; five of the poets have since been chosen for the ground-breaking national Complete Works development programme for UK poets of minority ethnic backgrounds; and Truth Thomas's from his pamphlet 'Party of Black' (2006) was chosen for Nikki Giovanni's 'The 100 Best African American Poems' (Sourcebooks, 2010). Crucially, the series retailed admirably as well, with over 10,000 copies sold at events - and through conventional retail channels. Now, with the release of 'The mouthmark Book of Poetry', readers can experience all nine individual poets published under the mouthmark poetry pamphlet series in this collectible volume that retains hallmarks of the iconic series, such as the distinctive brown paper-look cover with bold black designs.

The Courtesans Reply is a long poem sequence in the voices of Indian courtesans - women famed for their skills in music, dancing, storytelling and the art of love.

Niall O'Sullivan's first collection, 'you're not singing anymore' (flipped eye, 2004), explores religion, youth, and the many faces of London. It was received with widespread acclaim, becoming a 20th Century bestseller on Amazon.co.uk. In 'Ventriloquism for Monkeys, ' his second, he turns his attention to science, memory, evolution and ideology. "Niall O'Sullivan is known as a host and champion of live poetry in London. It's tempting to call his second collection a crossover - yet these don't read like performance pieces tamed for the page, for Niall is no genre hybrid, he is simply a good writer - warm, smart, thoughtful. His poetry inhabits a place where pertinence and impertinence meet." --Roddy Lumsden

Starting with one of the best-known poems in the American canon, William Carlos Williams' 'This is Just to Say, ' Kate McLoughlin adopts and transposes Picasso's template for re-imagining Velázquez's Las Meninas onto both Williams' poem and the history of the Velázquez painting. The result is 58 variations - short poems that embody both Williams' pithy wit and the mystery of Picasso's 58 adaptations of Las Meninas; where Picasso's paintbrush transforms Velázquez's muted tones to bold colours, McLoughlin's 'I' says of Williams' Plums, 'They are the last things you'll take of mine.' 'Plums' is a tour de force of transformation, an example of how compelling art can emerge from a chrysalis of absurdity.

'In Search of Fat' is a translation of some of Bewketu Seyoums's popular poems from Amharic. The poems in this bilingual edition mark his distinctive humorous but cutting style in predominantly short form. The translations, with input from the author, aim to replicate in English the energy and vitality of his voice. Bewketu Seyoum is a popular young Ethiopian poet and writer from Mankusa in Gojjam, north-west of Addis Ababa. His father is an English teacher and his mother comes from a family of Orthodox priests. He has published three collections of Amharic poetry, two novels and two CD's of humorous stories. His short punchy poems, full of warmth and humour, address all the important issues of modern life, including poverty, freedom, religion and love. In 2008, Bewketu was awarded the prize for Young Writer of the Year by the President of Ethiopia. In June 2012, he will represent Ethiopia at the Poetry Parnassus festival in London.

Miriam Nash's debut, 'Small Change,' is a document of transitions. In language that is at once rural, urban, shocking and gentle, she chronicles a compelling portrait of modern life - a global conundrum in which even love learns to stretch beyond time-zones.

Feeling a way through the electric, breathless experiences of young adulthood, 'Every Single One' is the debut pamphlet from Nina Bahadur. From New Year's Eve to the stretches of summer, dealing with prickly relationships and an exhaustive search for identity, these poems are an honest and unabashed exploration of youth, intimacy, and growth.

Somebody has to tell the truth sometime, whatever that truth may be. In this, her debut full collection, Mariahadessa Ekere Tallie offers up a body of work that bears its scars proudly, firm in the knowledge that each is evidence of a wound survived. These are songs of life in all its violent difficulty and beauty; songs of fury, songs of love. 'Karma's Footsteps' brims with things that must be said and turns the volume up, loud, giving silence its last rites. "Ekere Tallie's new work 'Karma's Footsteps' is as fierce with fight songs as it is with love songs. Searing with truths from the modern day world she is unafraid of the twelve foot waves that such honesties always manifest. A poet who "refuses to tiptoe" she enters and exits the page sometimes with short concise imagery, sometimes in the arms of delicate memoir. Her words pull the forgotten among us back into the lightning of our eyes." -Nikky Finney

In his debut pamphlet, Max Wallis traces the year-long course of a love affair and all its constituent parts: sex and sensuality, longing and loneliness, desire and disappointment, heady beginnings and inevitable endings; in a world dominated by high street brands, text messaging and social media.
