About This Book
Campaign in Poetry is a powerful collection of poems about political and social issues in the UK. The poems have been written by contemporary poets in the months leading up to the UK General Election, reflecting current concerns and developing events in this country as well as more global trends. Some of the sharpest minds writing today offer up shrewd, provocative thoughts on nationalism, climate change, immigration, political apathy amongst voters, arts funding and feminism in the digital age. This anthology is a statement against disaffection, providing an alternative perspective on the political landscape of the UK.

Best Friends Forever, edited by Amy Key, is a celebration of the transformative power of this frequently overlooked and misunderstood relationship.
Homesickness and Exile: Poems about Longing and Belonging
In AD 8, the Roman poet Ovid was banished from Rome by the emperor Augustus and sent to Tomis, a remote town on the Black Sea. Cold and wretched in his new environment, he wrote five books of sad poems – the Tristia – in which he begged to be allowed to return.
In Homesickness and Exile, twenty-eight poets expand on Ovid’s themes and explore spiritual as well as physical exile in the modern world. Poems about leaving, returning and finding home offer moving insights into the emotional pull of place and the fundamental human desire to belong.

The Emma Press Anthology of Mildly Erotic Verse
A beautiful anthology which celebrates modern eroticism in all its messy, sexy glory. We see lovers imagined as heroes and hares; describing what they want in jawdropping detail (or maybe with no words at all); meeting at swimming pools, sinking into baths and magic boxes. They wonder about lost knickers, worry about caravans, and – sometimes ...
