Congratulations to Dr Carrie Etter & her new collection from Seren

'full of atmosphere and invention'

There's plenty of buzz about our new edition, 'In flight', which features work by Welsh poet Gillian Clarke and a whole host of brilliant poets.

Here's what Seren writer Taz Rahman Taz Rahman: East of the Sun West of the Moon, 2024 has to say about this bijou edition.

Dr Carrie Etter is at carrieetter.bsky.social blowing everyone away with her reading from her new Seren collection ‘Grief’s Alphabet’ The Soho Poly

Grief’s Alphabet is a searing, heart rending, yet ultimately celebratory collection. It is utterly compelling. I read through from start to finish, and couldn’t put it down. Dr Carrie Etter is at carrieetter.bsky.social Seren

For nearly a year I've looked forward to this Thursday's launch of Grief's Alphabet (Seren, 2024), thinking on it almost every day and practising every night the last few weeks. Please join me; tickets here: toppingbooks.co.uk/events/bath/ca… Visit Bath Topping & Company Booksellers of Bath

This week’s Friday Poem is ‘Grief’s Alphabet’ by Dr Carrie Etter is at carrieetter.bsky.social, the title poem from her new collection of the same name serenbooks.com/2024/04/friday….

In the week that saw Seren launch Kathryn Bevis’s amazing collection The Butterfly House, it seems appropriate to be posting this about our next new pamphlet, Ten Poems about Butterflies. Would you like to read a butterfly poem of your own at this special UK/Australia event?

Join Richard Gwyn at the Aber Writing Fest who will be in conversation with Gary Raymond about his new book, 'Ambassador of Nowhere,' which chronicles his journeys in Latin America. Friday 19/04 from 3pm.
