POETRY LONDON MAGAZINE: The latest issue features new work from Liz Berry, Hannah Lowe, Ahren Warner, and Maura Dooley. We also have prose by Joey Connolly, an interview between Clara–Læïla Laudette and Lena Khalaf Tuffaha, and reviews of Helen Mort, Dean Browne, Karen Solie, and Jorie Graham.

Rooms Flooded with Light

Lena Khalaf Tuffaha explains that her poems—written over a decade from a position of relative safety in the US—did not target a specific reader, but rather reflect an evolving, non-linear attempt to communicate across a broad and complex readership profoundly shaped by ongoing trauma and genocide.

Under Pressure

In her new collection Killing Spree, poet Jorie Graham evokes the dual-headed Roman deity Janus to confront a precarious present by looking back at an out-of-reach past while facing a distressing, violent future.
