Primers Volume Five Paperback / softback

Edited by Jane Commane, Jaqueline Saphra

Part of the Primers series

Paperback / softback

Description

In 2019, Nine Arches Press launched their nationwide Primers scheme for a fifth time, in search of exciting new voices in poetry, with Jacqueline Saphra and Jane Commane as selecting editors.

After reading through hundreds of anonymous entries, and narrowing down the choices from longlist to shortlist, three poets emerged as clear choices: Krystelle Bamford, Claire Cox and Hannah Jane Walker. Primers Volume Five brings together a showcase from each of the three poets.

At the core of these poems are the milestones and critical moments of our lives and, vitally, the ties that bind us to those we love.

From the tides of grief to surfing the wave of birth, these often courageous and candid poems are distinctive in their engagement with fear, loss and self-discovery, and how they emerge afresh, bold and illuminating.

An insightful collection of new work from some of poetry’s most talented emerging voices. “Each of these poets moved us from a very first read with courage, openness and authenticity and each walks an exhilarating edge, daring to take risks with both language and content.” – Jacqueline Saphra
