Stephanie Green’s poems combine passionate concern with tender examination of the ‘erosions’ of environment, war and relationships. Landscape grounds these poems, from ‘the mineral taste’ of the Sahara, to Norway and Antarctica. Limpid imagery and unsettling questions create vulnerable poems, celebrating the ‘green flames of the living world.’ These poems will provoke you, move you and change you. Savour them.

Kimberly K. Williams’ Following the Wagons adeptly blends primary sources with her poetic imagination to create a fascinating, perceptive and empathetic exploration of nineteenth-century women’s lives during the Westward expansion of the United States. Her extensive and innovative linguistic and structural experimentation creates impressive poetic vehicles that memorably convey the complexity of women’s lives in the American West.
