This anthology furthers this braiding with the work of four emerging Pacific islander women poets from Guam, Hawai'i, and Fiji.

Ursula Owen's wide-ranging memoir begins with her fleeing Nazi Germany, explores her education and travels, her life in Egypt, Lebanon and the USA, explores her successful publishing career, her campaigning for freedom of expression, and ends with her still feeling an outsider while playing vital roles at the cultural heart of contemporary Britain.

In this collection, Peter Daniels looks at his life as an older gay man, his London neighbourhood, his furniture, other people's gardens and London's creatures.
