FOREST OF NOISE by @MosabAbuToha is a deeply powerful collection of poems about life in Gaza. Uncannily clear, direct and beautifully tuned, they form one of the most astonishing works of art wrested from wartime.
Publishing 7 November

Beyond thrilled that His Majesty's Gold Award for poetry excellence has been awarded to Mimi Khalvati. In addition to an extraordinary body of writing, I cannot think of anyone who has done more to nurture and shape British poetry, especially poets of colour.

What an amazing start to publication day 🎉🎉🎉 it was such a pleasure to talk to the wonderful @clotimms on what has become the most beautiful rite of passage for a debut author!!
Today I'm talking to @FeeWilliams75 about her beautiful novel that blends nature with domestic tension, how reading work aloud helps find rhythm in a sentence and how exposing publishing can be for introverts. @FaberBooks
