  • The Yellow Suitcase
    Djelloul Marbrook
    'You wounded me. The wounds grew wings,' so opens The Yellow Suitcase, lines that grab you and won’t let go. Poems land like a palm on the chest, tender, fierce, true. If lyric that aches and heals speaks to you, someone who loves a gut-punched poem, poems that actually do something: name pain, map it, and offer a way forward? Half-caste, tidewrack, salvors, angels, the people ...

  • Dadaist and Dada That
    Djelloul Marbrook
    New Poetry from a MasterOver the years, Marbrook has mastered a warmly colloquial voice - the poems feel near and dear as an old friend speaking - delivering the philosophical ruminations of a life rich in experience and wonder.

The cantos are also a paean to two childhood ...

    Djelloul Marbrook
    The loneliness of shape is a moment’s relief from the great burdens imposed on us by the ordering of society to serve the few.
