Wild Pets by Amber Medland

A shrewd, elegant literary debut that tells one of the oldest stories in the world - first love - with joyous humour and wicked verve.

Wild Pets follows Iris, Ezra and Nance in the years after university. They fall in and out of bed with each other, reread The Art of War, grieve the closing of Fabric and write book proposals on the history of salt, while submerging their nights in drink and drugs. Confronting adulthood with high wit and low behaviour against contemporary political and social turmoil, these young men and women seem to have everything going for them. So why are they still swimming desperately against the tide?

A bold, honest novel, Wild Pets is about the fragility of mental health, power imbalances in friendship and sex, and creative ambition fused with destruction - and the lingering power of first loves.

British-made sci-fi, folk horror, period drama and televisual grand tours played out tensions between the past and the present, dramatised the fractures and injustices in society and acted as a portal for magical and ghostly visions.

Girlhood by Julia Copus

Deft and seductive new collection of poems from T. S. Eliot Prize and Costa Poetry Award shortlisted poet

WINNER OF THE DEREK WALCOTT PRIZE FOR POETRY

Julia Copus's new collection, Girlhood, is a book of transgressed boundaries and seductive veneers. Restlessly inquisitive, it exposes the shifting power balance between things on the verge of becoming and the forces that threaten to destroy them.

Reading these poems, we have the sense of encountering a series of filmic installations arranged by episode in a gallery. Lost, censored or disparaged voices speak out from secluded spaces and moments of hidden history: from within a professor's office and a deserted department store; from kitchens, bedrooms, hallways and upstairs windows; through changing weathers, fidgety shadows and the witching hour. Faber & Faber On Sale: Sep 7/21 Girlhood concludes with a sequence set in a psychiatric hospital that 5.71 x 8.78 • 88 pages reimagines Jacques Lacan's treatment of his most famous case study, 9780571351060 • $29.50 • cl Marguerite Pantaine.

Collected Poems 1909-1962 by T. S. Eliot

No book has done more to define modern poetry than T. S. Eliot's Collected Poems . The pinnacle of a lifetime's curation by Eliot himself, it was initially published in 1936, and then revised by Eliot to form the present edition of the text that was issued in 1963. But over the course of a lifetime, and throughout its many printings, variants, discrepancies, authorial revisions and printers' errors have introduced anomalies that have served to undermine the authority of the volume. This new, reset publication establishes a corrected and reliable text for Eliot's poetry that enables an authoritative edition of Collected Poems 1909-1962 to be presented here for the very first time. 'Each year Eliot's presence reasserts itself at a deeper level, to an audience that is surprised to find itself more chastened, more astonished, more humble.' Ted Hughes 'He is among the greatest poets of the English language.' F. R. Leavis 'Eliot was the modern poet par excellence.' Seamus Heaney

A Year in the New Life by Jack Underwood

This new book of poems finds fresh ways of navigating a time of continual surprise and uncertainty.

Jack Underwood's debut collection, Happiness (2015), was celebrated for its unconventional and daring tone: 'conversational, arresting . . . weird, singular' ( Guardian ). Such qualities are on accomplished display in this anticipated new collection, as the poems mature and move on to a wide range of preoccupations, including imminent societal collapse and current riots; the limits of masculinity and complexities of fatherhood; as well as uncanny, often amusing scenarios, such as serving drinks to a gathering of fifteen babies or group kissing in Empathy Class. Throughout, incongruous and domestic subjects re-align in skewed lyrics and thought experiments,all presented with a generosity and tenderness that makes the poet so unmistakable - and indispensable for the strange times in which we live.

Wing by Matthew Francis

Adventurous and illuminating, Matthew Francis's poetry collection is full of flight, air and possibility - now in paperback.

Matthew Francis's latest collection celebrates the richness of nature and of our responses to it. The pleasures of summer are emblazoned in the colourful wings and evocative names of butterflies, while a nocturnal encounter with an earwig becomes a joyous incantation to the 'witchy-beetle, forkin-robin' of dialect. His love of history, embodied in his acclaimed Mandeville and The Mabinogi, gives rise to a sequence based on Robert Hooke's microscopic observations. There are tributes to the poets Basho, Dafydd ap Gwilym and W. S. Graham, to fireworks, apple varieties, and hot toddies. And, in a moving elegy for a friend killed in a parachute accident, Francis shows us a vertiginous vision of a world where even the dead 'sleep on the wing'

100 Poems by Seamus Heaney

Seamus Heaney had the idea to form a personal selection from across the entire arc of his poetry, small yet comprehensive enough to serve as an introduction for all comers. He never managed to do this in his lifetime, and no edition exists which has such a broad range, drawing from first collection to last. But now, at last, the project has been returned to, resulting in an intimate gathering of poems chosen and introduced by the Heaney family. Coinciding with the National Library of Ireland launching a major exhibition dedicated to the life and work of Seamus Heaney, 100 Poems is a singular, accessible collection for new and younger readers that has the opportunity to reach far and wide, now and for years to come.

The Poems of Basil Bunting by Basil Bunting

An important work of literary scholarship which highlights, for the first time, the achievement of a neglected modernist master - now in paperback

Basil Bunting's work was published haphazardly throughout most of his life, and in many cases he did not oversee publication. This is the first critical edition of the complete poems, and offers an accurate text with variants from all printed sources. Don Share annotates Bunting's often complex and allusive verse, with much illuminating quotation from his prose writings, interviews and correspondence. He also examines Bunting's use of sources (including Persian literature and classicalmythology), and explores the Northumbrian roots of Bunting's poetic vocabulary and use of dialect.

I hope [Bob Dylan] will spend some of his winnings on The Poems of Basil Bunting, which have been patiently and splendidly edited by Don Share. Bunting made Eliot and Pound's modernism sing with a north of England accent." - Jeremy Noel-Todd, Times Books of the Year Faber & Faber On Sale: Dec 28/21 "He had a better ear than Pound." - New York Times 6.02 x 9.21 • 624 pages 9780571235018 • $48.99 • pb Poetry / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh Author Bio

Basil Bunting was born in Northumberland in 1900. He was imprisoned for six months during the First World War as a conscientious objector and, after a wandering existence in Europe, in 1923 met Ezra Pound, who published his early poetry in Active Anthology (1933). He worked as a translator in Persia in the Second World War, returning to Britain in 1952. Although his first collection of poems was published in 1950, it wasn't until 1964 that he received widespread attention in Britain, with the publication of The Spoils, First Book of Odes and Loquitur. The publication of his most famous work, Briggflats (1966), led to an Arts Council Bursary and a Northern Arts Poetry Fellowship at the universities of Durham and Newcastle. He died in 1985.

Shoulder Tap by Maurice Riordan

Riordan's fifth collection of poems is both a dark art and an illuminating interrogation of contemporary anxiety and desire.

Maurice Riordan's keenly anticipated new collection continues his agile exploration of time, both in its depredations and rewards, while also bringing a sceptical, enquiring intelligence to bear on the anxieties and vanities of our age. Here we have disquieting songs of a mutable self; a projected online deathbed confession; the soul haranguing the body; while encounters with ghostly feet and tongues of fire consort with riffs on Baudelaire, Rilke and Old English. These poems pulse withmischief and macabre humour, making for a pungent and haunting read. With this book, Riordan - a poet whose subtle, rippling influence is felt by all in his wake - affirms the Guardian 's assessment of The Water Stealer (2013) as 'strong, wise and enduring'

Author Bio Faber & Faber On Sale: Dec 28/21 Maurice Riordan was born in 1953 in Lisgoold, Co. Cork. His first collection, A 5.32 x 8.5 • 64 pages Word from the Loki (1995) was nominated for the T. S.

False Servant, The by Martin Crimp and Pierre Marivaux

I may be your servant in the theatre, but in real life, sweetheart, you are my sex-slave. Just you remember. Lust and avarice trample on the finer feelings of love in this subversive take on sexual manners and the cruelties of courtship. The man thinks that marriage is simply a matter of money and property. But just how far should the woman go to prove him wrong? A world of darker meaning lies beneath the wit and verbal exuberance of Martin Crimp's version of Marivaux's great comedy.

I Is a Strange Loop by Marcus du Sautoy and Victoria Gould

Alone in a cube that's glowing in the darkness, X is content within its little universe of infinite thought. This solitude is disturbed by the appearance of Y, who insists on exposing X to the richness of the physical world. Each begins to long for what the other has, luring them into a strange loop.

In this play for two variables, Marcus du Sautoy and Victoria Gould use mathematics and theatre to navigate the furthest reaches of our world. Through a series of surreal episodes, X and Y tackle some of life's greatest questions: where did the universe come from, does time have an end, do we have free will?

I is a Strange Loop was first performed by the authors at the Barbican Pit, London, in March 2019.
