Grief Stitches
In Grief Stitches, Emily Harrison has created a remarkable series of poems that exist in a continual state of suspension. Throughout, there is an uncanny sense of ‘almost’—almost understanding—almost recovering from—almost suffocating—almost free.

In Grief Stitches, Emily Harrison has achieved something astonishing – each moment of chaos has its equal in exquisite, distilled detail; urgency its counter in stasis; sickness and grief in strength and beauty. These are poems of incredible power.”

Introducing Makina Audio!
This month we are launching our first audio programme. The project, a collaboration with access and inclusivity consultant Caroline Dawson, brings together three debut poets (originally from India, Ireland and Birmingham) reading their books in full, with additional audio descriptions illustrating the look and feel of each front cover, back cover, flaps and spine. This work is generously supported by a project grant from Arts Council England.
