An early work from the acclaimed poet of Memorial and Falling Awake, appearing for the first time in the United States. A Sleepwalk on the Severn is a reflective, book-length poem in several registers, using dramatic dialogue. Ghostly, meditative, and characterized by Alice Oswald’s signature sensitivity to nature, the poem chronicles a night on the Severn Estuary as the moonrise travels through its five stages: new moon, half moon, full moon, no moon, and moon reborn.

When Luisa Igloria cites Epictetus—‘as soon as a thing has been seen, it is carried away, and another comes in its place'—she introduces the crowded and contradictory world her poems portray: a realm of transience, yes, where the vulnerable come to harm and everything disappears, but also a scene of tremendous, unpredictable bounty, the gloriously hued density this poet loves to detail. ‘I was raised / to believe not only the beautiful can live on / Parnassus,’ she tells us, and she makes it true, by including in the cyclonic swirl of her poems practically everything: a gorgeous, troubling over-brimming universe." —:Mark Doty,Mark Doty, judge for the 2014 Swenson Award The May Swenson Poetry Award, an annual competition named for May Swenson, honors her as one of America's most provocative and vital writers. During her long career, Swenson was loved and praised by writers from virtually every school of American poetry. She left a legacy of fifty years of writing when she died in 1989. She is buried in Logan, Utah, her hometown.

Weeds and Wild Flowers is a magical meeting of the poems of Alice Oswald and the etchings of Jessica Greenman. Within its pages everyday flora take on an extraordinary life, jostling tragically at times, at times comically, for a foothold in a busying world. Stunningly visualised and skilfully animated, this imaginative collaboration beckons us toward a landscape of botanical characters, and invites us to see ourselves among them.

"wildflowers" is the first collection of 400+ poems from Katherine Henson, penning as k.e., where she uses her love of words to share her heart about love, growth, loss, and hope. This book is for you, and I hope you will see that these words were never mine to keep, but yours to find. I have been writing these words for you all along. Through the pain and love, the valleys and peaks. This title is probably deceiving. I had the hopes that all my words would be soft and gentle and kind, but my words knew better. They knew that truth is often painful, broken, and a little angry. But wildflowers, for me, stand for something spectacular. Look at them! Wherever their roots can be, they grow, grow, grow. I want to be that. I want to be tore down by life and have my seeds and roots, my soul and body, still trusting enough to find home again. I want that kind of wild. So maybe the title is good. Maybe the wildflowers understand it more than any of us. We must rebuild. I just want you to remember something, remember that life is pretty dang hard, and trying to navigate against those odds is a tough task. So be good to yourself, love yourself like crazy, and take every single thing that life gives you - good and not so good. It is all a part of it, and it all a part of your story, of you. So here is to love, and growing, and loss, and hope. P.S. None of these words are complete, and well, that is just how it goes sometimes; you will find that some of these pages have no ending, and if you come upon one you feel unfinished, know that it was always meant for you... and finish it.

When Agnes Furey lost her forty-year old daughter Pat and six-year-old grandson Christopher to homicide in 1998 at the hands of Leonard Scovens, words could not describe the hole left in her heart. Even so, rather than hate, Furey chose peace, and she reached out to Scovens in prison. Wildflowers in the Median tells the story of their journey of restoration. Through a collection of poems, vignettes, and letters, both Furey and Scovens pour out their emotions and reflections. It is a tale not of forgiveness, but of understandinga story of a survivor of crime and a criminal finding communion as each struggles with grief and suffering, eventually coming to terms with their spiritual identities and a desire to help others in similar circumstances. A valuable testament to the human heart and its capacity to love, Wildflowers in the Median shows how grace was found in the aftermath of a tragedy.
