| The Redlit Boys by William Bedford
|
Out now: A collection of poems which forms a lyric, yet authentic elegy for the working class districts of Sheffield of his own, his parents’ and grandparents’ youth. Here are the steel works, knockers up, chapels and the characters of the industrial North at its zenith. Bedford writes like D. H. Lawrence but with a critical love, rather than disdain for his subject matter.

| Email From the Provinces by Simon Fletcher
|
|
Out now: These "emails" speak in a variety of voices and forms about the marginalised in society. Fletcher goes some way to justifying poetry’s claim to speak, "truth to power". There are also poems of friendship, love and delightful jeux d’espirit.
Comment on Simon Fletcher’s previous collection from PP (see below):
I enjoyed the deft fluency, the economy, the pure tone. Ted
Hughes (Late Poet Laureate)

to receive higher education and her role in the transformation of
libraries from arid, adult enclaves to child friendly havens where
a lifelong love of reading was cultivated.
