"These poems are very moving and its hard to do justice to the way Caroline Smith conveys the anxieties, hopes and disappointments experienced by immigrants. She never allows the reader to forget that behind the refugee statistics there are suffering human beings; very often the victims of a seemingly insensitive and overstretched bureaucracy." Lord Alf Dubs "The detail is magnificent ...there is an implicit tenderness and stoicism inthe lives of these characters which shines through." Angela Platt, Orbis Vividly detailed and emotionally powerful, The Immigration Handbook is as revealing as it is timely. Here we meet with the individuals that the news stories only speak of as numbers. These are lives fraught with violence and tragedy that Caroline Smith has encountered in her work as the asylum caseworker for a London MP. We journey with them through the labyrinthine government bureaucracies they must navigate to survive. With clarity and integrity she lays before us stories of stoic resilience and humorous forbearance, of kindness to others and of joy in the midst of sorrow. These are poems that step out of the headlines and into our hearts.

Elisa dropped the pen she was holding and turned around slowly. In front of her was one of the most beautiful men she had ever seen. His eyes and hair were dark and he was dressed in the style of the ancient Egyptiansa linen kilt with metal armbands and a collar where she could clearly make out lapis and carnelian. She glanced at the body of the mummy and then at the figure in front of her. Even in death, the features were unmistakable.Elisa felt her heart racing and her mouth go dry. All of the blood drained from her face and left a cold tingling behind. It was jet lag. Had she eaten today? Maybe shed fallen asleep while she was reading. Shed always had an overactive imagination.Her mouth moved, but no sound came out. The figure in front of her watched all of this without comment but suddenly he smiled. "Hello."And Dr. Elisa Kent fainted for the first time in her life.A mummy that has lost his heart and an Egyptologist thats skeptical she can help him find it.

In Bycatch, a new collection by the Ted Hughes Prize shortlisted-poet Caroline Smith, the poems ask where personhood is when memory and language are gone. They capture the faltering years of a life gradually scraped bare by the deep-sea trawler of dementia yet find amongst the isolation and sadness, moments also of clarity, epiphany and love.Whilst these poems chart deep waters, they remind us also of the enduring and miraculous bond between those who have known each other for a lifetime. With grace and often with humour, Smith unravels the intricate nature of care, the symbiosis of family, and ultimately the sense of self held in the memories and personal histories of her own parents. It is in the swell of the wave, as ageing and loss threaten to engulf even the words, these extraordinary poems remain tender, unforgettable and salt-sharp.
