Seagate III is the third anthology of poems from writers in the Dundee area.

In 1975, Dundee University’s Writer-in-Residence Anne Stevenson curated Seagate,an anthology of poems featuring writers active in the city of Dundee. It was followed in 1984 by Seagate II, this time edited by Brenda Shaw. It took a mere 32 years for Seagate III to appear to get the sequence back on track. Andy Jackson edited this third volume, of which we still have a small number of copies remaining.

Seagate IV is slated to appear in late 2026, but you can secure one of the final copies of III for the knockdown price of just £6 for a smart 140-page cornucopia featuring 45 writers working in the Tayside area.

Eco Sonnet Chain is a corona of sonnets reflecting on the global climate emergency.

Climate Change – global heating, ecological collapse, mass extinction, extractive capitalism, environmental injustice, the great unravelling etc – does not, like time itself, unfold in a single, straight line. Serendipitously, though, we are publishing this pamphlet to align with COP30

in Belém, Brazil.

This, the Amazonia COP, is underpinned by the indigenous ethic of mutirão – the immense possibility of collective action from the ground up, based on the understanding that everything is connected to everything else

Our Eco Sonnet Chain embodies a similar collaborative endeavour: fourteen diverse voices in urgent conversation about the current state of things on our home planet. Every poet, building their response on the preceding poet’s last line, brought a deep listening and a capacity

to surprise as varied as their play with form and language.

And so, with more birds than you might expect flickering in and out of the verses, a sense of mutual concern and intense questioning emerged. The Eco Sonnet Chain is one small way to keep the conversation alive.

The pamphlet is edited by Linda France and WN Herbert and features work by:

Anne-Sophie Balzer • Jemma Borg
Jane Burn • Tishani Doshi • Steve Ely

Peace Sonnet Chain is a corona of sonnets reflecting on the current spike in international conflict.

In this age of wars, it felt like a daring act, even a hubristic one, to bring together fourteen poets to write a chain of sonnets around the theme of peace, posting online from Valentine’s Day to the Olympic Truce in July. Yet it also felt necessary – a continuation of conversations we’ve all been holding, with ourselves as well as each other. And, indeed, in this project, we have had the privilege of conducting that conversation in real time.

Although the sonnet has its roots in the love poem, it’s a beautiful and practical vessel in which to pour even the most challenging content, as our poets have proven. It quickly ecame apparent that it is impossible to explore the concept of peace without considering its
overwhelming and terrible opposite; thus between these pages you will find love and even hope, but also incomprehension, righteous rage, and despair.

The world has changed since we set this project in motion, the ground beneath us shifts hourly. Conflict has led to regime change in Syria; people still suffer under bombardment in the Middle East; Russia is making headway in Ukraine; there is war-induced famine in Sudan.
Peace seems more distant than ever, and our poems won’t change that.

But, in the months that it took to complete this chain, as the baton was passed from one poet to the next, its cumulative resonances formed what you might describe as a loose community in which we worked together to create something unique and meaningful.

Strike Sonnet Chain is a corona of sonnets engaging with the industrial unrest that has marked much of the post-Pandemic period.

It is a reaction not just to stagnating wages, continuing inequality, precarious labour conditions, and mishandling of pensions, but to the specious narrative that we are all emerging as one body from the Pandemic ‘together’, and committing to the post-Brexit era.

There is, rather, a growing perception that the mind-set we had willingly or otherwise acceded to before the Pandemic both worsened its effect and deepened its long-term impact. That false consciousness has been shaken, hopefully fundamentally.

So, as many of us vote to withdraw our labour/consent, we decided to invite poets, many of whom work in the university sector, to write a chain poem, linking last line to first in the spirit of sonnet-based solidarity. The poems not only look at how work (and its cessation) impacts on the imagination, but also embody the ways the imagination itself works.

The pamphlet is edited by WN Herbert and Jacob Polley and features work by:
