Shortlisted for the 2023 Michael Marks Award for Best Poetry Pamphlet

Using Sufi prayers and sacred texts as a starting point, Naush Sabah’s new pamphlet Litanies explores doubt, dissent and dislocation, seeking to replace prayer with poetry.

Naush Sabah is a writer, editor, and educator from the West Midlands. Her short play, Coins, was staged at The Rep and and her double micro-pamphlet Heredity/ASTYNOME was published by Legitimate Snack in 2020. Naush is a trustee at Poetry London and co-founder of both Pallina Press and the Poetry Birmingham Literary Journal.

The cover art is by Rachid Koraichi, from the Rumi series.
