Niche by Ford Dagenham

PRE-ORDERS OPEN MAY 2026

Niche gathers poems written from the estuary edge of London — from front garden walls, café counters, cracked patios, and the space between a deathbed and a punchline. Ford Dagenham writes in a voice that refuses to sit still. Grief folds into humour, a mercury spill stands in for pain, and a record player opens a portal to a knock-off trouser stall behind a market in nineteen eighty something.

These poems are lowercase, unpunctuated, and utterly themselves. They shift between childhood, loss, sky-watching, and the stubborn need to make something be here that wasn't here before.

An interview with Ford Dagenham about Niche will appear in The Small Run, the occasional newsletter from Analog Submission Press.
