Love Poems by Rupi Kaur gathers her most affecting writing on desire, tenderness and self-worth into one intimate collection of contemporary poetry readers can return to again and again. If you love lyrical, bite-sized poems with emotional punch and plenty of white space for reflection, this edition is made for you. Curated from milk and honey, the sun and her flowers, and home body, it traces the many shapes love takes: the rush of romance, the ache of longing, the warmth of being seen, and the quieter work of learning to love yourself. An all-new introduction adds fresh context, and the included Valentine’s and Galentine’s postcards make it easy to share a line that lands. Perfect for fans of modern love poetry, readers after an uplifting gift book, and anyone who keeps a journal close. Add it to your shelf for a gentle read you’ll want to dip into often.

I Don’t Think I’m Straight by Isabella Dorta is a tender, punchy poetry collection about sexuality, sapphic love, heartbreak and the steady work of healing—perfect for readers who like their verse intimate, direct and deeply felt. A viral poet and TikTok favourite, Dorta writes with honesty that lands in the body, tracing the moments where friendship blurs, desire sharpens, and self-knowledge arrives (sometimes gently, sometimes all at once). Moving through first love, loss, longing and the courage it takes to name what you want, these poems offer a coming-of-age, coming-out arc without tying everything into a neat bow. The emotional range is wide: soft devotion, sharp grief, and hard-won comfort. Ideal for fans of contemporary poetry, queer literature, and writers like Rupi Kaur, Nikita Gill and Whitney Hanson—especially anyone navigating identity, first heartbreak, or late-blooming self-discovery. Add it to your shelf and let it meet you where you are.

Time Is a Mother by Ocean Vuong is a luminous contemporary poetry collection that sits close to the heart, written in the wake of his mother’s death. If you love literary poetry that’s emotionally precise yet surprising on the page, this is the kind of book you’ll want to linger with. Across these poems, Vuong moves through grief and its aftershocks while still reaching for the textures of everyday life: family bonds, memory, desire, and the hard-won permission to feel joy. The voice is intimate and clear-eyed, with images that arrive sharp and stayed, capturing both tenderness and the wider unease of modern America. Perfect for readers of elegiac poetry, fans of On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous, and anyone drawn to themes of loss, resilience and love written with craft and urgency. Add it to your basket and discover a collection that keeps opening new rooms each time you return.

The scorching, much-anticipated new book from the winner of the 2022 Stella Prize for Dropbear The Rot is a recalcitrant study of the decaying romances, expired hopes and abject injustices of the world. A liturgy for girlhood in the dying days of late-stage capitalism, these poems expose fraying nerves and tendons of a speaker refusing to avert their gaze from the death of Country, death on Country, and the bloody violence of settler colonies here and afar. Across sleepless nights, fractured alliances and self-destructive coping strategies, The Rot is what happens when poetry swallows more rage than it can console, quiet or ironise - this book demands you ready yourself for a better world.
