The Conjurer

byΒ Pedro Serrano

Translated from the Spanish & introduced byΒ Anna Crowe

The ConjurerΒ is Pedro Serrano’s second book from Arc, and includes work drawn from his three published collections in Mexico as well as unpublished work. These are powerful poems which explore the natural world in all its wonder with a close and meticulous attention that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. Serrano’s rich and complex lexicon and his mastery of poetic form, metaphor and diction are perfectly captured in Anna Crowe’s sensitive and compelling translation – for those who have not encountered Serrano’s poetry before, this is an unmissable introduction to the work of one of Mexico’s leading contemporary poets.

Can the Dandelions be Trusted?

byΒ Katherine Gallagher
Katherine Gallagher has a loyal readership both in the UK and in her native Australia and her latest book from Arc will not disappoint. Ranging in time and place from her childhood in the Australian outback to heady youthful days in Paris of the β€˜60s, to slower-paced recent years in the gardens and open spaces around her north London home, these poems are full of a colour and energy that paint a picture of life lived to the full, and also a reflectiveness, a gentle humour, and occasionally a sense of loss, as the poet looks back on times past.

Poems Written Through Barbed-wire Fences
byΒ Ro Mehrooz
Translated from the Rohingya by the poet &Β James Byrne
This chapbook by Ro Mehrooz is the first time that the work of a single Rohingyan poet has appeared in print in a bilingual edition. The Rohingya people continue to experience genocide at the hands of the Myanmar military, so it is not surprising that Ro’s poems are full of anger, anguish and despair, although there are moments of light as he reflects upon the traditions and customs of his people. James Byrne’s informative introduction, together with Ro’s deeply-affecting poems, paint a stark and unforgettable picture of this war-torn, torture-ravaged and largely forgotten area of Myanmar.
