Praise for the rising line:
“This book is a powerful reminder that there’s nowhere a poem can’t go, and no way it can’t move us. From revolutionary dogs and AI lovers to the quiet ache of growing up in the modern world, and all we inherit from it, these poems move between the intimate and the expansive with confidence, invention and emotional clarity. If the poems in the rising line are anything to go by – the future of poetry is dazzlingly bright!” — Suzannah Evans
“Reading this collection, I’m again in awe of fiction’s power to move its readers. Sometimes literally, as in the stories that took me through space and time to strange and thrilling locations. I was also deeply moved by the many pieces transporting me into different mindsets and helping me see our world afresh from viewpoints otherwise out of reach. What a joy it is to be taken on these journeys and to witness young writers responding to the challenges of contemporary and historical life in such varied and exciting ways.” — Dave Swann
