Today is National Poetry Day and here is our corresponding pick from the shelves. There’s so much great stuff out there and we’re so lucky to get to stock some of the best. Sarah Howe: Loop of Jade. Winners of top prizes can sometimes be relegated to the annals of literary history. However, coming back to this collection a year after its success I’m still struck by how smart, beautiful and densely populated these poems are. Some are blunt, as in ‘(d) Sucking pigs’ which has the line; ‘I imagine your mother cranking the spit’. Some are soft, such as ‘Earthward’. And none waste a single word. Think Ezra Pound with an even better editor than himself
