Thirty poems in various forms and styles—rhyme, blank verse, free verse, villanelle, and ‘villanelle-vague’—tackle the seismic events and vicissitudes of recent years: Brexit, Grenfell and the “hostile environment”, the proroguing of Parliament, Boris Johnson’s shambolic premiership, Covid and the lockdowns, “Partygate”, Trump’s insurrection, the resistible rise of Keir Starmer, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Platinum Jubilee, the JUST STOP OIL protests, the death of Elizabeth Windsor and the suppression of republican expression during the mourning period, and the Coronation.
In this collection of poems, Spain's troubled past mixes with the everyday routines, sights, sounds and tastes of Alan McGuire’s adopted homeland. Like any keenly observant Briton living in Spain, poet Alan McGuire can see the legacy of the country's civil war all around him.
In a series of imaginative, insightful poems, many of them beautifully illustrated with woodcut drawings by Ignacia Ruiz, Fran Lock explores the developing love between Mary Magdalene and Jesus, its relationship to Jesus’ liberating call for personal and political transformation, and the way it continues to challenge, comfort and inspire us with the ‘love that is stronger than death’.
