Guardian Rounds Up Best Recent Poetry Collections
A review roundup examines new works by Colin Bramwell, Eve Esfandiari-Denney, Jay Gao, Clementine Ewokolo Burnley, and Padraig Regan.
Recent poetry collections under review include Bramwell's debut work "Fetch," which engages with Russian poets and explores themes of translation and identity through a mix of Scots and English. Esfandiari-Denney's "Girling" focuses on girlhood, illness, and free will with what the reviewer describes as distinctive lyrical beauty. Other collections reviewed are "The Dead One, The Unconscious One, Thundering in Your Ear, Thriving Slumber" by Jay Gao; "Belling the Leopard" by Clementine Ewokolo Burnley; and "The Matter" by Padraig Regan.
Bramwell's work has previously won the Oxford Weidenfeld Translation Prize and the Highland Book Prize for his translation of Fernando Pessoa into Scots.
