Hardback. Condition: New. Until recently, a wedding was no place for reinvention: everything from the location to the outfits to the language of the ceremony was decided by our particular cultures, religions and social expectations of gender and domestic roles; and of course, many of us were unable to get married at all. Now gay marriage is legal in Britain; heterosexual couples can have civil partnerships; we can get hitched in a yurt or a cave or on a rollercoaster.But the old traditions die hard, and despite these apparent new freedoms, the word 'wedding' still retains so many connotations, controlling our imaginations in ways that can feel alienating or limiting. When it comes to the 'wedding poem', even a Star Trek themed do, with guests in bumpy skull-caps, can still translate the same old Shakespeare sonnet into Klingon.This anthology aims to shake that up, featuring poems you won't find on any 'lists' in your frantic Google search. Alternative poems for alternative weddings, be they small, huge, camp as Christmas, hilarious, glamorous, shot-gun, a third wedding held in a nursing home, or the low-key but profound culmination of a forty-year love. If you're looking for a non-cringey wedding poem, or want to be reminded of the multiplicity of love, this is the book for you.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. At Nigerian weddings, attendees 'spray' the dancing newlyweds with bank notes, money to be put towards their new life together. The breaking of the glass is a famous Jewish wedding tradition, and of course everyone knows about things old, borrowed and blue. The list of nuptial traditions is endless. Yet when it comes to finding the right poem for your celebration, too often the same old options appear. Something New reinvigorates the wedding-poem anthology with one hundred fresh and exciting choices to reflect the weddings of today.For these poets, the weight of history is an invitation to elaborate on what editors Caroline Bird and Rachel Long call 'the endless uniqueness of the heart', to rewrite and reimagine everything a union of two people can be. Ranging from the sincere to the surreal, these poems celebrate marriage equality, joyful idiosyncrasy, and the simple domesticity of married life.Ian Duhig and Clare Shaw offer slant interpretations of the wedding vow. 'I want to get high my whole life with you', declares Hera Lindsay Bird, serenading the manic romance of industrial carpet outlet stores and leather hot-pants. Written in 1992, Essex Hemphill's proclamation that 'Every time we kiss / we confirm the new world coming' remains as prescient as it does defiant. Each of the poems in Something New gestures at the true and eternal purpose of a wedding: an invitation to bear witness to love in all its forms. Edited by two of the most exciting British poets in a generation, Something New is an anthology of one hundred fresh and exciting poems reflecting the weddings of today.
