Mile End is a collection of poems that moves through landscapes both intimate and expansive -London, Sligo, Berlin, Northampton, Belfast, and Galloway - tracing the quiet intersections of memory, place, and identity. These poems are rooted in the physical world: in soil and stone, in weather and ruin, in the breath of fields and the silence of cities. The collection is steeped in the presence of history: personal, political, and ancestral.

War echoes through its pages, not only in the remembered violence of battlefields and airfields, but in the quieter conflicts of inheritance, exile, and return. The poems speak from the margins, where belonging is fragile and silence often carries more weight than speech. Whether set in rural pastures or urban shadows, each piece invites the reader to listen closely - to the land, to the ghosts beneath it, and to the echoes that shape who we are.

Richard Arterton captures the ache of what's lost and the fragile beauty of what remains. With language that hums with lyricism and emotional precision, this debut poetry collection explores the spaces between people, the weight of silence, and the stories we carry in our bones.

Mile End is both elegy and celebration: a map of moments where the personal meets the historical, and where love, in all its forms, leaves its mark.

Strong and thought-provoking writing; beautiful imagery...Powerful and evocative. A Pulford
