The Small Press Network Book of the Year Award 2022 has gone to poetry title 'Gravidity and Parity' by Eleanor Jackson, published by Vagabond Press.

'The judges said: ‘This was a strong year for poetry, with the works submitted demonstrating incredible breadth and diversity of voices and topics, though many collections touched thematically on the pandemic and experience of living in lockdown. Eleanor Jackson’s Gravidity and Parity stood out because of the way it spoke to miscarriage, birthing and motherhood, topics which are felt by so many, but so woefully underrepresented in text. Why is it that we see the domestic sphere and the creative one as so incompatible? Gravidity and Parity brings the two together, using poetry to shine a light into the isolation of pregnancy and birth.'
