The new poetry collection by Poet Laureate Simon Armitage.

<b>In the third and final installment of the Souls Trilogy, acclaimed poet Iain S. Thomas explores what hope feels like after despair.</b><br/><br/>Following on his bestselling collections, <i>The Truth of You</i> and<i> The Secret of You</i>, Thomas's latest volume of over two-hundred poems examines how we find the faith to carry on when everything has been stripped away and all that remains is the core of who we are.<br/><br/> Enhanced by dramatic ink illustrations in his signature style, <i>The Heart of You</i> explores fear, bravery, intimacy, what we keep, and what we leave behind.

<b>With care and vulnerability, novelist and poet Lang Leav explores what it means to live a purpose-filled life as a woman in search of fulfillment and visibility. </b><br/><br/>Through poetry, micro-essays, and ruminations, <i>Soon It Will Be Sunday</i> delves into the purpose and impact of the interpersonal attachments that women form during different stages of their lives. Internationally bestselling author Lang Leav reflects on the perilous and winding road of being a woman, contending with the conflicting messages we receive from society, and the choices we make that ultimately define us, while also addressing the narrowing options women face with the passing of time.<br/><br/> Deeply personal and all too relatable, <i>Soon It Will Be Sunday</i> aims to provide a mirror for women to see and be seen no matter which era of womanhood you are currently navigating.

<b>"When life feels as though it has been burned to the ground, reduced to piles of ash, there is always someone to remind us that life begins again, no matter how hard we fall or how disastrous the crash." </b><br/><br/>This is the story of how you rose from the ashes-where every ending is a new beginning.<br/><br/> The final installment in a long journey of healing is the fieriest of them all. <i>Out of the Ashes</i> offers a roadmap for readers seeking to emerge from devastation. Divided into seven sections-The Destruction, The End, The Quiet, The Wrath, The Transformation, The Arising, The Resurgence-this very personal and engaging new collection from prolific poet Courtney Peppernell illuminates a powerful journey of resilience and survival. It masterfully charts the process of rising again after your life has been burned to the ground.

<strong>'Powerful, capacious and profound'</strong> OCEAN VUONG <br/><br/><strong>'A book you won't soon forget'</strong> ILYA KAMINSKY <br/><br/><strong>'Astonishing'</strong> TERRANCE HAYES <br/><br/> <strong>LONGLISTED FOR THE 2025 DYLAN THOMAS PRIZE </strong> <br/><br/> <strong>FROM THE WINNER OF THE 2025 PULITZER PRIZE FOR COMMENTARY</strong> <br/><br/> <strong>A deeply powerful collection of poems about life in Gaza by acclaimed Palestinian poet, Mosab Abu Toha.</strong> <br/><br/>Barely 30 years old, Mosab Abu Toha was already a well-known poet when the current assault on Gaza began. After the Israeli army bombed his house, pulverising a library he had painstakingly built for community use, he and his family fled for their safety. Not for the first time in their lives. <br/><br/>Somehow, amid the chaos, Abu Toha kept writing poems. These are those poems. Uncannily clear, direct and beautifully tuned, they form one of the most astonishing works of art wrested from wartime. Here are directives for what to do in an air raid and lyrics about the poet's wife, singing to his children to distract them. Huddled in the dark, Abu Toha remembers his grandfather's oranges and his daughter's joy in eating them. Here are poems to introduce readers to his extended family, some of them no longer with us. <br/><br/>Moving between glimpses of life in relative peacetime and absurdist poems about surviving in a barely liveable occupation, <em>Forest of Noise</em> invites a wide audience into an experience that defies the imagination - even as it is watched live. This is an extraordinary and arrestingly whimsical book, that brings us indelible art in a time of terrible suffering. <br/><br/> <strong>'A glimpse into life in a besieged Gaza and what it's like to survive and find care, even hope, under the most dire of conditions'</strong> <em>NEW YORK TIMES</em> <br/><br/><strong>'If literature has any power to change the world or resist injustice, I think it must lie in the astounding poems of Mosab Abu Toha'</strong> NOREEN MASUD <br/><br/><strong>'The poems in Mosab Abu Toha's <em>Forest of Noise </em>are urgent, prayerful howls in the bleakest of nights' </strong>ADA LIMON <br/><br/> <strong>'Essential ... uses language to fight against those who would ignore his people's plight' </strong> <em>JHALAK REVIEW </em>
