Poetry. In his first full collection, Gale Burns amuses and intrigues by mining the rich texturesof his youth--the pancakes and ice cream of the Happy Eater, the hitchhiking adventures and the caravan holidays. He then engages with fresh perspectives on Englishness and different cultures, concluding with a sensitive examination of different ways of being able to know. In this book, Gale Burns finds an ironic beauty in silence and quiet observation--the conditions of a MUTE HOUSE.
Poetry. Modeled on the famous United States competition, the second annual Best New British and Irish Poets competition was open to any poet of British or Irish citizenship and/or UK or Irish residency who has not yet published (and is not under contract to publish) a full-length collection of poetry. Poems submitted for consideration could have appeared in print before, or in a pamphlet, though not online. This diverse and lively group of writers from across these isles represents the most interesting new voices writing in the English language today.

The Arctic beckons from the edge, at the limits of our geographic knowledge and civilized souls, nudging our guilty consciences ever so lightly when we read about melting ice and rising sea levels. It is also a place of mind. This is the story of Marianne, the tangled paths that led her onto a ship headed north, and the events that followed, involving bears, glaciers, mountains and several crossings of the Barents Sea. Twenty years after her first landfall she has returned to Svalbard, the desolate islands clustered halfway between Norway's northern tip and the North Pole. In an interweaving of past and present, she calls on local residents, a dead poet, old friends and an estranged lover, seeking to understand the currents that have transformed both herself and the place she used to call home. Inspired by W.H. Auden and Louis MacNeice's Letters From Iceland, this blend of letters, drawings, anecdotes and poems - including a mordant take on climate speculation seen through the lens of Aristophanes' comedy The Birds - invites the reader on a journey of reflection on self, society and the environment.
