Diamond Twig press launched its Poem of the Month feature in September 2003, with Joanna Boulter’s astonishing, shocking, magnificent Still Life with Figs. I won’t claim that we’ve never missed a month since, but we haven’t missed many, and the archive is a store-cupboard full good things, (mostly) new poetry from (mostly) women writers, some better known than others, on topics from the first breath to Judgement Day and from fury to jelly sandals.

2011 marks the centenary of International Women’s Day, and Diamond Twig’s Ellen Phethean has celebrated by choosing not one but five new poems: read them on the Diamond Twig website.
