We can’t wait to launch Travel Writing by Luciana Francis and Face the Strain by Joolz Sparkes. Dean Atta describes Face the Strain as being ‘at once tender and intimate and unapologetically political. No punches are pulled in this small but mighty body of work.’ Katharine Towers writes of Travel Writing ‘these delicate and thoughtful poems offer moments of quiet wonder, taking in motherhood and memory, elsewhere and home.’ Also see below for details of our wonderful guest readers, ATG poets Jane Lovell and Sarah James.

We’re really looking forward to launching Joanna Nissel’s Guerrilla Brightenings and Sarah Mnatzaganian‘s Lemonade in the Armenian Quarter in March. Joanna’s poems of domesticity, family, love, death and lockdown beautifully thread sadness and loss with brightness, warmth and compassion. Sarah leads the reader through the gentle landscape of her English childhood into the colourful world of her Armenian family in Jerusalem. Both books are available for pre-order and will be delivered in time the launch.

We’re really thrilled that our guest readers are Benjamin Cusden and Cheryl Moskowitz. Benjamin’s pamphlet, Cut the Black Rabbit is described Katrina Naomi as “a tough but tender read, with Cusden being one who knows how to ‘camouflage your being with evening air’ and how to scrape by ‘with laughter and lager’.” Cheryl Moskowitz’s Maternal Impression is described by Lisa Kelly as “a call to arms – maternal arms – and all that implies in the Anthropocene. It has a beating heart that needs to be heard, felt, and heeded.”
