THE EDEN BOOK SOCIETY
THE PERFECT SPOOKY GIFT
Established in 1919, The Eden Book Society was a private publisher of horror for nearly 100 years. Presided over by the Eden family, the press passed through the generations publishing short horror novellas to a private list of subscribers. Eden books were always published under pseudonyms and, until now, have never been available to the public. Dead Ink Books is pleased to announce that it has secured the rights to the entire Eden Book Society backlist and archives. For the first time, these books, nearly a century of unseen British horror, will be available to the public. The original authors are lost to time, but their work remains and Dead Ink will be faithfully reproducing the publications by reprinting them one year at a time. This is the 1972 selection...

GLITCH Lee Rourke “There’s something sly and strange about Rourke’s writing. Tender and vicious, it lies in wait with quiet, covert violence. A heartline to a very British experimental tradition.” Joanna Walsh “Lee Rourke writes about grief and loneliness with a delicate fortitude. His writing is always expansive and immersive in its exploration of what we lose and what we inherit.” Nikesh Shukla After two decades spent in the US, L-J is on a flight back to his native Suffolk to visit family and his childhood coastal home. His flight is straightforward, as per design, until it hits a glitch – an unexpected and dramatic cabin decompression – which suggests that all that L-J expects from this trip cannot be counted on. This is a powerful novel of grief, family, and ideas. It’s a novel about embracing those irregularities – the recurring glitch – that seep into every aspect of life, and seeing the beauty in them.

SELFIES Sylvie Weil and translated by Ros Schwartz “A beguiling series of vignettes, by turns wry, amusing and disturbing, inspired by self-portraits by women artists and reflecting on the images they provoke. An illuminating survey of the author’s various identities, in a fractured world, as mother, lover and writer.” Michèle Roberts Taking selfies is not the exclusive preserve of millennials. In Selfies, Sylvie Weil gives a playful twist to the concept of self-representation: taking her cue from self-portraits by women artists, ranging from the 13th c. through the Renaissance to Frida Kahlo and Vivian Maier, Weil has written a memoir in pieces, that is yet unified. Each picture acts as a portal to a significant moment from Weil’s own life and sparks anecdotes tangentially touching on topical issues, from the Palestinian question to the pain of a mother witnessing her son’s psychotic breakdown, to the subtle manifestations of anti-Semitism, to ageism, genetics, and a Jewish dog...

THE WIND THAT LAYS WASTE Selva Almada and translated by Chris Andrews The Wind That Lays Waste begins in the great pause before a storm. Reverend Pearson is evangelizing across the Argentinian countryside with Leni, his teenage daughter, when their car breaks down. This act of God or fate leads them to the workshop and home of an aging mechanic called Gringo Brauer and a young boy named Tapioca. As a long day passes, curiosity and intrigue transform into an unexpected intimacy between four people: one man who believes deeply in God, morality, and his own righteousness, and another whose life experiences have only entrenched his moral relativism and mild apathy; a quietly earnest and idealistic mechanic’s assistant, and a restless, sceptical preacher’s daughter. As tensions between these characters ebb and flow, beliefs are questioned and allegiances are tested, until finally the growing storm breaks over the plains. Selva Almada’s exquisitely crafted debut, with its limpid and confident prose, is profound and poetic, a tactile experience of mountains, the sun, squat trees, broken cars, sweat-stained shirts, and destroyed lives.

WATER SHALL REFUSE THEM Lucie McKnight Hardy “A coming of age story where the threat of violence shimmers like a heat haze.” Andrew Michael Hurley, The Loney “Something strong, vivid and disquieting grows tall from Folk Horror soil in this novel.” Aliya Whiteley, The Arrival of Missives The heatwave of 1976. Following the accidental drowning of her sister, sixteenyear-old Nif and her family move to a small village on the Welsh borders to escape their grief. But rural seclusion doesn’t bring any relief. As her family unravels, Nif begins to put together her own form of witchcraft – collecting talismans from the sun-starved land. That is, until she meets Mally, a teen boy who takes a keen interest in her, and has his own secret rites to divulge. Reminiscent of the suspense of Shirley Jackson and soaked in the folkhorror of English heritage, Water Shall Refuse Them is an atmospheric coming-of-age novel and a thrilling debut.

AFTER THE FORMALITIES Anthony Anaxagorou A knife is pulled. An Uber driver is racially abused on the day of the Brexit referendum. A father bathes his son in ice water. A schoolboy drives a drawing pin into a map of the world. The threat of violence is never far away in Anthony Anaxagorou’s breakthrough collection After the Formalities. Technically achieved, emotionally transformative and razor-sharp, these are poems that confront and contradict; poems in which the scholarly synthesises with the streetwise, and global histories are told through the lens of one family. Anaxagorou ‘speaks against the darkness’, tracking the male body under pressure from political and historical forces, and celebrates the precarious joy of parenthood. The title poem is a meditation on racism and race science that draws on the poet’s Cypriot heritage and is as uncomfortable as it is virtuosic.

THE NOWHERE MAN Kamala Markandaya “It’s great that this lost gem has been rediscovered.” Monica Ali Srinivas, an elderly Brahmin, has been living in south London suburb for thirty years. After the death of his son, and later his wife, this lonely man is befriended by an Englishwoman in her sixties, whom he takes into his home. The two form a deep and abiding relationship. But the haven they have created for themselves proves to be a fragile one. Racist violence enters their world and Srinivas’s life changes irrevocably – as does his dream of England as a country of tolerance and equality. First published in 1972, The Nowhere Man depicts a London convulsed by fear and bitterness. A recent re-appraisal of her work in the Paris Review said: “With The Nowhere Man, Markandaya wrote a British state of the nation novel whose acuteness and depth of understanding , unsung at the time, resounds eerily today.” Truly shocking, The Nowhere Man is as relevant today as when it was first published almost fifty years ago.

MY MOTHER LAUGHS Chantal Akerman In 2013, the filmmaker Chantal Akerman’s mother was dying. She flew back from New York to care for her, and between dressing her, feeding her and putting her to bed, she wrote. She wrote about her childhood, the escape her mother made from Auschwitz, but didn’t talk about, the difficulty of loving her girlfriend, C., her fear of what she would do when her mother did die. Among these imperfectly perfect fragments of writing about her life, she placed stills from her films. My Mother Laughs is both the distillation of the themes Akerman pursued throughout her creative life, and a version of the simplest and most complicated love story of all: that between a mother and a daughter. Chantal Akerman was born in 1950. She dropped out of film school after three months to make her first short film in 1968, Saute ma ville. She would go on to make over sixty films for the cinema, television and galleries, developing her own documentary-influenced visual language. She was accompanying her last work, No Home Movie, an essay-film about her mother, to European film festivals when she was hospitalised for depression in 2015, and died by suicide soon after. She was 65.

THE YOGINI Sangeeta Bandyopadhyay and translated by Arunava Sinha With her days split between a passionate marriage and a high-octane television studio job, Homi is a thoroughly modern young woman – until one day she is approached by a yogi in the street. Convinced that the yogi is a manifestation of fate, Homi embarks on a series of increasingly desperate attempts to prove that her life is ruled by her own free will, much to the alarm of her no-nonsense husband and cattily snobbish mother. Her middle-class Kolkata life, and the relationships that define her identity, are disturbed to the point of disintegration. Following the inexorable pull of tradition, Homi ends up in Benaras, the holy city on the banks of the Ganga, where her final battle with fate plays out. The new novel by Sangeeta Bandyopadhyay is a brilliant portrait of a young millennial in contemporary India who is torn between her modern life and tradition. Bandyopadhyay’s unflinching look at sex, work and family redefines comfortable notions of what the life of young women is supposed to look like.

THIS TILTING WORLD Colette Fellous and translated by Sophie Lewis Sidi Bou Saïd, Tunisia: looking out over the Mediterranean the night after a terrorist attack on the nearby beach of Sousse, a woman attempts to take stock. Another recent tragedy resurfaces and, along with it, the memory of her late father, who emigrated to France in his later years. Through childhood memories and the prism of modern French classics, the story of Tunisia’s Jewish community is pieced together. Shifting from Tunisia to Paris to a Flaubertian village in Normandy, Colette Fellous embarks on a Proustian lyrical journey, in which she gives voice to loved ones silenced by death and to those often unheard in life. Her love letter and adieu to her native country becomes an archive – or refuge – for stories of human resilience. With a foreword by Michèle Roberts and translated from the French by Sophie Lewis.

THIS PARADISE: STORIES Ruby Cowling A family prepares for Assessment. Two brothers haggle over the legacy of their parents. A computer game designer aches with curious longings. Amidst it all, sisters, heroines, rebels, lunar moths and a not insignificant number of rabbits play out their lives under the strange grips of technology, governments, corporations and the capricious planets on which we all, in our different ways, just about manage to live. This Paradise is a rare and beautiful collection of stories about people fleeing towards places or times or situations they hope might be better – trying to outrun their nature, to deny the undeniable. Written with an arresting eye for detail, a rich sense of compassion and a darkly comic understanding of the human psyche, the stories in this volume propose a series of haphazard questions, not least of which is: where do we run to when there’s nowhere left to run?

OCTOBER KEY TITLE
OF STRANGERS AND BEES Hamid Ismailov and translated by Shelley Fairweather-Vega In the latest thrilling multi-stranded epic from the award-winning author of The Devils’ Dance, an Uzbek writer in exile traces the fate of the medieval polymath Avicenna, who shaped Islamic thought and science for centuries. Following a strange dream Uzbek writer Sheikhov is convinced that the medieval polymath Avicenna has been condemned to roam the world for centuries. The novel follows Avicenna in various incarnations across the ages from Ottoman Turkey to medieval Germany and Renaissance Italy.

Drawing from his own experience as a writer in exile, Hamid Ismailov has crafted another masterpiece, combining traditional oral storytelling and contemporary global fiction in a modern reincarnation of a famous Sufi parable.

Brenda has had a long and eventful life, and she has come to Whitby to run a B&B and enjoy some peace and quiet. She and her best friend Effie like nothing better than going out for tea and keeping their eyes open for mysterious goings on in town. And what with satanic beauty salons, roving psychic investigators and the frankly terrifying owner of the Christmas Hotel there’s plenty to watch. But the oddest thing in Whitby may well be Brenda herself. With her terrible scars, her strange lack of a surname and the fact that she takes two different shoe sizes, Brenda should know that people as, well, unique as she is just aren’t destined for a quiet life. Paul Magrs lives and writes in Manchester. He has published a number of novels in a variety of genres over the years, including books about Iris Wildthyme and the six volume ‘Brenda and Effie’ series of mysteries.

ROTTERDAM David Batten •
An absorbing, thought-provoking look at the heartbreaks and dilemmas of ordinary life, part novel, part autobiography, part ethical tract.
Washed up far from home at the bitter end of the ‘70s, Paul spends an ordinary morning travelling to work at the Rotterdam container port and back into the city that evening to work his second job at a burger bar. As the day passes, his mind travels from his childhood in the UK, to an ill-fated love affair on an Left Bank kibbutz, and back to the chance of love in the present. Paul tries to unravel tangled knots of biography, the hopes and disappointments of a short life that still holds future and promise. But, as the torch is put to the last remnants of the hippie dreams and the harsh 80s economic winter begin, Paul’s problems are as much philosophical and political as they are personal and ethical. David Batten is a poet from North Wales. His debut collection, Transhumance, was published in 2016. David is also the author of a pamphlet, Storme Passage, and a second poetry collection, Untergang He lives in the Aveyron, in southern France.

THE FREQUENCY OF MAGIC Anthony Joseph • •
Latest book from the poet, novelist, musician and lecturer described as “the leader of the black avant-garde in Britain”. His last book was the award-winning Kitch (ISBN: 9781845234195).
Raphael earns his living as a butcher in a hillside village in rural Trinidad. He is also a would-be author, but there have been so many distractions to the novel he has been writing for forty-one years that many of the characters have lost patience and gone off to do their own thing. But somehow, miraculously, the novel, as Raphael has planned it in one hundred chapters of a thousand words, seems to write itself... Anthony Joseph is the author of Kitch, which was shortlisted for the Republic of Consciousness Prize, and four poetry collections. His written work and performance occupies a space between surrealism, Jazz and the rhythms of Caribbean speech and music. He lives in London and performs internationally.

AN ORPHAN WORLD Giuseppe Caputo and translated by Juana Adcock & Sophie Hughes •
A brutally honest love letter between a father and son.
In a run-down neighbourhood, in an unnamed seaside city, a father and son struggle to keep their heads above water. Rather than being discouraged by their difficulties and hardship, they are spurred to come up with increasingly outlandish plans for their survival. Even when a terrible, macabre event rocks the neighbourhood’s bar district and the locals start to flee, father and son decide to stay put. What matters is staying together. This is a bold poignant text that interplays a very tender father-son relationship while exposing homosexuality and homophobia with brutal honesty. With delicate lyricism and imagery, Caputo’s originality and creativity produce a tale that harmoniously balances violence, discrimination, love, sex and defiance. Compared to Cormac McCarthy and Garth Greenwell, Giuseppe Caputo was born in Barranquilla, Colombia, in 1982.

SKY LIGHT RAIN Judy Darley •
A new short story collection from an author active in the Flash Fiction community, and organiser of National Flash Fiction Day.
In this collection of eerie, beautifully crafted stories, lives are lived slightly out of sync with the ordinary world. From a man who makes sock puppets to elderly Italian craftswomen and hens at a taxidermy party, family stories are seamlessly woven with folklore, journeys and natural phenomena to examine the quirks, pain and resilience of human existence. Framing her tales in the nebulous, shimmering concepts of sky, light and rain, Judy Darley deftly explores our relationship with the natural world and one another, reminding us that however far we travel, some connections remain unbreakable. Judy Darley was born in 1977 and grew up in Thornbury, near Bristol. Her debut short story collection Remember Me To The Bees was published in 2013.

“It’s tempting — and partly right — to think of the Slovenian writer Dušan Šarotar as a modernized W.G. Sebald, as a restless, observant wanderer equipped with a streak of melancholy.” - The Galway Review
In the northern Slovenian city of Murska Sobota stands the renowned Hotel Dobray, once the gathering place of townspeople of all nationalities and social strata who lived in this typical Pannonian panorama on the fringe of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Due to its historical and geographical particularities, the town had always been home to numerous ethnically and culturally mixed communities that gave it the charm and melos of Central-European identity. But now, in the thick of World War II, the town is occupied by the Hungarian army. Dušan Šarotar is a Slovenian writer, essayist, literary critic and editor. In 2016, his novel Panorama was published in English as part of the Peter Owen World Series, and received wide coverage in the Guardian, World Literature Today and The Sunday Times.

THE END. AND AGAIN Dino Bauk •
“Bauk’s novel throbs with the wounds of his generation and at the same time tells an intense, dazzling story of love and friendship.” Kreuzer Magazine
The End. And Again is a novel about war, romance and rock ’n’ roll. It takes us back to Ljubljana and the Balkans in late 1980s and early 1990s through the reminiscences of an embittered bureaucrat Peter, a corrupt manager Goran and eternal runaway Mary. After taking a fateful bus ride, Mary once fell in love with Denis, a passionate rock musician, but their love story was tragically cut short when she, a young missionary, was ordered to leave the country for violating the Mormon code, and Denis was cast from his peaceful life in Ljubljana, exiled and sent tumbling into the ravages of the Balkan war. A lack of any meaningful resolution to their story haunts them all and forces them to search for a different end(ing). (And) Again. Dino Bauk burst onto the literary scene with his debut novel The End. And Again, receiving the prestigious Best Debut Award of the Slovenian Book Fair.

“The three ‘R’s: Routemasters, Reading, Rioting. Intoning this mantra, a young British Indian boy, learns to duck the fare but not the issues in this darkly comic comingof-age tale which largely unfolds in a city (London) and an era (the 1970s) where everything, from the culture, to the people, to the buildings themselves, seems to be in open revolt. Punk – good. Partition – bad. Polyester – ugly. That’s the other mantra K. carries around with him. This is the story that joins those dots.

NOVEMBER KEY TITLE
HIGH SPIRITS: A ROUND OF DRINKING STORIES Karen Stevens and Jonathan Taylor (ed.) A new gift hardback edition of the collection of short stories from contemporary writers on the pains, pleasures and horrors of drinking. Drinking stories are told by drunks, or about drunks; they are told in pubs, or set in pubs. They are stories where people drink, and stories which somehow induce a sense of drunkenness in readers and listeners. Anton Chekhov may or may not have drunkenly compared the experience of reading a short story to downing a shot of vodka, and F. Scott Fitzgerald claimed that a good short story could “be written on a bottle.” Here is a collection of contemporary short stories written on and about bottles – stories about the comedies, tragedies, pleasures, pains and horrors of alcohol – all of which can be downed like (and perhaps with) a glass of vodka. Edited with an introduction by Karen Stevens and Jonathan Taylor, contributors include some of the best short story writers in the UK today: Judith Allnatt, Jenn Ashworth, Laurie Cusack, Desmond Barry, Louis de Bernières, Jane Feaver, Cathy Galvin, Alison Moore, Kate North, Bethan Roberts, Jane Roberts, Hannah Stevens, Michael Stewart, David Swann, Melanie Whipman, and Sue Wilsea.

The first book in Prototype’s new fiction list, establishing the aesthetic of a collectible series. Beautifully designed and printed. “A brilliant, charming, and weirdly alarming poem-novel about the timebending strangeness of being a parent. I love Caleb Klaces’ writing.” Max Porter
Fatherhood is the debut novel from award-winning poet Caleb Klaces, combining prose and poetry in an experimental work of verse fiction.

THE LIVING DAYS Ananda Devi and translated by Jeffrey Zuckerman • •
A chance encounter on Portobello Road brings the worlds of past and future into collision. For fans of Ian McEwan and Shirley Jackson. “A fierce portrait of our times…Sensual and provocative writing, woven of dreams and nightmares. . .” Le Monde des Livres.
In Portobello, London, a haunting and magnetic attraction entwines the lives of Mary Grimes, a 75-year-old British spinster, and Cub, a 13-year-old Jamaican boy from Brixton. Set post September 11th, The Living Days juxtaposes biting social realism and gothic romance as phantoms and fantasies mix with the escalating effects of racism and poverty. Devi’s London is a city of chimeras, alternatively bleak and exquisite, and the protagonists struggle to keep their footing in the glitzy, and treacherous, capital. This lyrical, unsettling, and at times horrific novel will serve its semi-nostalgic power as Brexit negotiations are carried out or upended. Ananda Devi is a Mauritian and French author born in 1957 in Mauritius. She has published eleven novels as well as short stories and poetry.

Winner of an English PEN award. The author’s short story collection, The Well of Trapped Words (ISBN: 9781905583614), was published by Comma Press.
Narrated in the second person, this novel by one of Turkey’s most highly regarded writers tells the story of a granddaughter’s reckoning with the suppressed and traumatic memories of her grandmother, who survived a genocidal massacre in the Dersim region of southeast Turkey in 1938. Based on Sema Kaygusuz’s relationship to her own grandmother, the novel embeds the turmoil of contemporary mass violence within mythic and deep historical timescapes, cracking open the modern history of Turkey to ask greater questions about good and evil, about exile and survival, about resilience in an age of everyday horror. Sema Kaygusuz (born 1972) has published five collections of short stories, three novels, a collection of nonfiction essays, and a play, which have been translated into English, French, German, Norwegian, and Swedish.

After a clash with Colonel Hernández (the author who ‘stole’ Martín Fierro’s poems) and a drunken orgy with gauchos, they eventually find refuge and a peaceful future in an utopian indigenous community.

EXPOSITION Nathalie Léger and translated by Amanda DeMarco “A subtle novel that interrogates femininity and its magic spells. Bewitching.” Vogue “Erudite but limpid, deep but luminous.” Elle A fascination with the Countess of Castiglione’s life and death led the writer and curator Nathalie Léger to weave together this inspired and imaginative biography of a woman who was over-exposed but never really understood in her own era. Drawing on the relationships between the likes of Louise Bourgeois and Robert Mapplethorpe, Marilyn Monroe and Bert Stern, Isabelle Huppert and Roni Horn, Léger demonstrates how Castiglione’s story is universal and relevant. Léger’s agile, piecemeal meditations ultimately yield a canny but compassionate portrait of a figure who could be considered a predecessor to Cindy Sherman. Reflecting on the artistry of self-representation and the half-truths of portrait photography, Léger explores the myths around icons of past and present, and goes on to re-frame her own family history.

MR MENSH Michael Rosen In his new collection for grown-ups, Michael Rosen offers a view of the world based on some of the characters found at the kitchen table of a secular Jewish family in North London in the 1950s, like Mr Klutz (a fool), Mr Bubkes (who talks rubbish) and Mr Mommsers (you don’t want to meet him). Not forgetting Mr Kvetsh (who complains about the soup), Mr Shmalts (who dribbles soup down his shirt), Mr Shnorrer (who wants your soup), Mr Ganuf (who nicks your soup) and Mr Gantse Macher (who owns the soup factory). Mr Mensh is a book about the absurdities of everyday life, soup, raspberry pips, toe-nails, warts and all. It’s also a book about the violent absurdities of everyday politics in the twenty-first century – the End of Austerity, anti-Semitism, Racism and Fascism. In this clever follow-up to his best-selling Smokestack collections Don’t Mention the Children and Listening to a Pogrom on the Radio, Michael Rosen again confirms his reputation as the heir to Jacques Prévert, Ivor Cutler and Adrian Mitchell.

The poems gathered here reflect this freedom in all its forms: from the track to nature’s trails, from sprints to endurance, from near-spiritual moments of private connection to the buzz of competitive camaraderie.

Poets from the ‘new Irish’ communities, the so-called ‘hyphenated Irish’, the Irish of mixed cultural, linguistic or ethnic origin, gather here to chart and reflect the changing nature of Irish society.

The result is a fascinating anthology in which ‘home’ is both a place of origin and the place towards which we are always travelling, in the process celebrating our similarities and our differences both.

Spake is a love letter to West Midlands voice and a challenge the preconceptions and prejudices that abound about dialect and non-standard English. Much maligned, frequently overlooked or simply left out altogether: the English West Midlands has for decades been diminished in the national conversation - and with it, the rich dialects and voices of the region are often misunderstood, ignored or worse – ridiculed and mocked. This anthology features contemporary writing that draws upon dialect in ways that explore the potential of the narrative and poetic voice, bringing to life the silent histories and harsh realities of a vanishing working-class way of life in what was once Britain’s industrial heartland.

Debut collection from an award-winning writer.
By turns poignant, wryly humorous and nostalgic, Ross Thompson’s debut collection of poems charts a chronological journey through the pre-adventure world of childhood, the wounds of awkward adolescence and the future promise of adult life. These threads are woven together and illuminated, as if “held inside the hand / of a skilled jeweller”, resonating as they reach towards the sequence ‘Grief is Great’, a hesitant lament in the aftershock of loss.

“Prigov is the unparalleled debunker of the Soviet unconscious.” Charles Bernstein
Dmitri Alexandrovich Prigov was a leading writer of the late Soviet and early post-Soviet era. Born in 1940 and died in 2007; a lifespan longer than usual for a Russian male of his generation. Almost until the collapse of the Soviet Union, his writing circulated solely in samizdat, or else in overseas publications. He was briefly detained in a Soviet psychiatric hospital in 1986 but released after protests from establishment literary figures. Prigov was an amazingly prolific writer, in all genres, as well as an accomplished visual artist. This collection, the first to appear in English, covers the Soviet era, with work which make serious fun of the Soviet version of reality. Short stories about amazing heroes of the revolution and after, poetic sequences that expose literature, history and culture to the stark light of laughter.

COVER COMING SOON
•
Selected poems of the Slovakian poet first featured in Arc’s celebrated anthology Six Slovak Poets (ISBN: 9781906570385).
Mila Haugova has written a moving book about the farewell of loved ones and the slipping away of one’s own life. The starting point is a double loss: her mother dies and her lover goes his own way. During her dead mother’s childhood and distant past, the loved ones have faced a hoped-for future. Now only a reduced daily life remains, shot through with ever present memories. Haugova overlays the departed, and now recalculated, images of childhood and days spent with her lover. Is it possible to find some memory of lost warmth in this cold world? Re-encounter and farewells are one in Haugova’s poetry: there are intimate companions in the absence of loved ones, in the acceptance of their disappearance, which over time develop a cathartic force that makes possible new love.

Latest collection from a prominant Latvian poet, author of six collections of poetry and recipient of major Latvian literary awards.
A World War II refugee from her native Latvia, Baiba Bicole immigrated to the United States in 1950, at the age of eighteen. She has been a major Latvian poet since the 1970s, but until Latvia’s renewed independence in 1991, she was primarily known in the West, as an exile poet, her work being banned in Soviet-occupied Latvia. Her poems are lyrical and personal, often with intense emotion and startling imagery; scenes of inner experience, they may begin with realistic observation, but can quickly become visionary. Shown through different prisms, like variations on a theme, her subjects include separation and loss––colored by her experience of exile; the related significance of song and language; and love.

She’s been commended in poetry competitions and she won the Wigtown Prize in 2012. Her poems have also been anthologised several times by Arachne Press.

Debut collection, the culmination of decades of work by this important black British poet of note.
Rhythm Chant, the first full collection by Sue Brown, is an observation of nature, place, his and her story. Miss Ashwood the lover of Marcus Garvey or Auset lover of Ausar evoke the power of love in the core of this emotionally-charged collection. There’s an affirmation of self, womanhood, and identity wrapped in the healing of spirit, community and love. There’s an influence of Maya Angelou suffused by the rhythm of Jazz and Dub. The inspiration of Rastafari and daughter of Afrika underpins her message of hope for a better world. This is a book full of energy and spirit, balanced with the harmonies of nature. Sue Brown’s work over many years has involved various creative projects in a range of cross art forms, which has included collaboration with musicians, theatre directors and radio producers, as well as educational work mainly within primary schools. Her work has taken her to performances in Europe and Africa.

ENGLISH MARTYRS Conor Carville •
New from the author of Harm’s Way (ISBN: 9781906614621).
The title poem of Conor Carville’s second collection takes off from a London church and its congregation, but pushes on out into planetary, even cosmic dimensions. In another poem, the head of the Blessed Oliver Plunkett appears in the TV room of a London mental hospital, to tell the strange story of a mass on Clapham Common in 1984, when the London-Irish assembled to celebrate his beatification. These poems, and many others here, reassert the capacity of song to grasp the shape of a life, a community, or a world, in the shadow of its vast disorder. Sometimes lyric, sometimes violent, this is a book that teems with the martyrdoms, both everyday and epic, that punctuate our lives. Conor Carville is a poet and critic from Armagh, N. Ireland. His first collection, Harm’s Way, was published by Dedalus Press. He lives in South London with his wife and daughter.

HOTEL Ali Lewis •
Highly anticipated debut pamphlet from Eric Gregory award winning poet.
Hotel is a wonderful debut pamphlet from 2018 Eric Gregory award winning poet Ali Lewis. In short, intricate verse, his poems tackle the complexities of modern relationships and city living with great self-deprecation, not a little light-heartedness, and dashes of the surreal. But there is depth here too. In this connected century, with so many eyes on you, with so many opinions and agendas being made vocal, what is the best way to be, as a partner, a friend, a colleague? And what will happen if you get it wrong? The domestic lives large in these works, whether in homes or offices or in the world beyond. Ali Lewis is a fresh new voice in poetry and is here for the long haul. Ali Lewis is a poet from Nottingham. His poems have appeared in magazines including Poetry Review, Poetry Ireland Review, Ambit, Magma, The Scores, The Rialto and Textual Practice. He is Assistant Editor at Poetry London.

CONTAINS MILD PERIL Fran Lock •
New from the author of Dogtooth (ISBN: 9780993103841).
Contains Mild Peril is a book permeated by anxiety, not fatal threat, but the ambient manic hum of daily life. Precarity does something to us at the level of language; it shapes the ways we see and say. Our current climate – political, environmental, economic – engenders its own nervy music. These poems channel this collective apprehension in ways both deeply personal and instantly familiar. It is a collection that abounds in loss, in a sense of being lost, and in the gnawing fear of losing, yet its speakers address us with urgency. This is language in the throes of fighting back. Fran Lock is the author of three poetry collections, Dogtooth (Out-Spoken Press, 2017), The Mystic and the Pig Thief (Salt Publishing, 2014), and Flatrock (Little Episodes Publishing, 2011).

NOVEMBER KEY TITLE
THE CRAFT: ESSAYS ON MAKING POETRY HAPPEN Rishi Dastidar (ed.) The Craft is an indispensable guide to both the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of poetic craft in the 21st century, and essential writing-desk companion for poets at all stages. The book covers practical techniques – the nuts of bolts of putting poems together, mastering poetic forms such as sonnets, sestinas, prose poems and golden shovels, how to choose titles for your poems and the art of long sequences. It also explores the idea of ‘craft’ itself - knowing how pentameters dance is important, but by no way is it the only dimension of ‘craft’ that the poet starting out today has to consider. What about sound and the skills involved in performing your work? What about truth and fabrication, and the ethics of using real life in your work? What about the politics of the word ‘craft’ itself? With essays on poetry from Moniza Alvi, Dean Atta, Liz Berry, Caroline Bird, Malika Booker, Debjani Chatterjee, Jane Commane, Rishi Dastidar, Carrie Etter, Will Harris, Tania Hershman, Peter Kahn, Gregory Leadbetter, Karen McCarthy Woolf, Roy McFarlane, Harry Man, Claire Pollard, Peter Raynard, Roger Robinson, Jacqueline Saphra, Joelle Taylor, Marvin Thompson, Julia Webb, and Antosh Wojcik.

In ... and then she ate him Tom Denbigh’s wickedly beautiful writing holds up a distorted mirror to the world. Deftly weaving the queer experience alongside tales of friends and strangers, Tom toys with myth, devilish humour, and absurdity to portray the bizarre and brilliant in the everyday.

A multiple slam winner, he came second in the 2017 national Hammer and Tongue competition.

DEAD FLIES Eduardo Embry •
First UK publication of the winner of the Casa de la Americas prize.
Forty-five years ago Eduardo Embry came from ‘the England of South America’ to a country green as a crocodile, where Sunday always lasts all day and there are no angels in the allotments. Dead Flies is a book of tall-tales, fables, riddles and unlikely stories about the strange, sly logic of disobedient matter and the ‘indecent mischief ’ of things. Philosophical, playful, lyrical and absurd, Embry marches backwards on argumentative feet, with seven wise men arguing in his head and fiery words in his prostate, wondering why God moves like a motorbike, flies play dead, everything falls under the auctioneer’s hammer and heaven roars with laughter. Eduardo Embry Morales was born in Valparaiso in Chile in 1938. During the Allende years he was elected cultural officer of the powerful Tobacco Workers’ Union and editor of its newspaper. Imprisoned after the US-sponsored Pinochet coup, in 1974 he was granted political asylum in the UK. For many years he taught at Southampton University, where he is an Honorary Research Fellow.

ONEIROMANCY Winétt de Rokha and translated by Jessica Sequeira • •
An extraordinary Latin American mix of Communism and Surrealism. Frida Kahlo meets Tina Modotti.
Oneiromancy is a book about resistance to male authority and power. First published in Chile in 1943, the book uses dreams, myths, folk-tales, ‘rivers, books and disillusions’ to challenge the patriarchal norms of Latin American society and the apparent triumph of Fascism in Europe. Writing on behalf of the mothers of the world facing the ‘hurricane of fascism’, Winétt de Rokha combined documentary realism, social protest and Magical Realism to explore the layered meanings of history and landscape, love and politics, utopian dream and dystopian reality. Winétt de Rokha (1894-1951) was the pen name of the Chilean poet Luisa Victoria Anabalón Sanderson. She published four collections of poetry. In 1916 she married the poet Pablo de Rokha. They founded the communist and anti-fascist literary journal and publishing house Multitud.

WHITE TULIP Ben Thompson
KEY TITLE
THE ART OF PETER HAY John Froy Peter Hay (1951–2003) was a visionary artist. He was a very English painter whose work has a poetic and mystical quality. Eclectic, curious magpie, he found inspiration from everywhere and gathered it into his image-making. He was a fine draughtsman and watercolourist, a brilliantly inventive printmaker. At heart a figurative artist, the work moves into abstraction through striking black and white and a rich use of colour. After studying Fine Art at Reading University, and two years away in Cornwall, Peter Hay settled in Reading for the rest of his life. He had a strong sense of place; the junction of the rivers Thames and Kennet close to his home was a frequent symbolic theme in his work. He became a central figure in the local art community and was an inspirational teacher. In 1994 he founded Two Rivers Press which gave him the opportunity to pursue through illustration his passion for campaigning, his love of poetry and history. This book brings together the range of this prolific artist’s work for the first time.

COMA: LIFE IN ANOTHER TIME Arturo Croci • •
A psychedelic exploration of the mind, translated from Italian. “This book is like a minestrone soup – full of different things that should not really go together, yet when you eat it, it is full of flavour and you enjoy both the individual elements and the whole.” Anna Galvani
Coma - Life in another time, originally published in Italian, embraces a world beyond time, beyond reality. We can question whether it’s possible to experience two realities: to live in a world where time cannot be fixed or measured and the answer is yes. This book is an intriguing account of what happens to a mind in a drug-induced state. Anything is possible. Imagination is everything.

NOT THE SKY: A MEMOIR Gail Ashton •
A memoir that up-ends a West Midlands working-class childhood and chaotic family to re-imagine the present.
From the outside lavvy to backyards and gardens galore, Gail Ashton confronts long-held secrets, ghosts, and converses with the dead. Meet a dying mother demanding a will and a prize-winning rose bowl; the estranged father with an email, rescued football boots and two glasses of Asti Spumante; the great-aunt transformed into a skylark; the sister and a DNA kit; an abusive grandfather and a failed guard dog. Meet inanimate objects, animals and miscarried babies. By turns comic, heartbreaking and life-affirming, this book plays with genre to question notions of memory and truth. Gail Ashton is a freelance writer and editor of poetry, short stories, and academic and popular works. Her publications include six non-fiction books on poetry with a biography of Geoffrey Chaucer. She has co-edited two poetry anthologies and edits a major literature series for Continuum. She reviews for a range of publications.

THE OWL HOUSE Daniel Butler •
COVER COMING SOON
•
Daniel Butler’s beautiful account of his relationship with two barn owls which, unusually, nested at his farmhouse in mid Wales. For fans of H is for Hawk, The Overstory & The Living Mountain.
For the past 25 years Daniel Butler has lived in a sixteenth century farmhouse in the Cambrian Mountains near Rhayader, where he has kept hawks for almost as long. The Owl House, however, is his account of his relationship with two wild birds, barn owls which have nested at the farm over the years. In that time they have become tame, allowing unusually close observation, and Butler is able to record the lives of these two birds and his familiarity with them in extraordinary detail. Daniel Butler has been a freelance writer and journalist since 1991. He has published 6 books about nature and the countryside, including The Red Tail and Sharing the Seasons with a Hawk (Cape, 1994). Butler was the ghost writer of Jimmy Doherty’s A Farmer’s Life for Me for HarperCollins.

LIFTING THE FIRE HYDRANT Kate Fullen •
COVER COMING SOON
The memoir of a female firefighter.
Lifting the Fire Hydrant follows a young, idealistic raw recruit as they negotiate training school and settle into life on a watch. With incidents and routine tasks woven into the fabric of the story, it charts a journey into the male dominated heart of the British Fire and Rescue Service and describes the pressure of life and death scenarios, the emotional turmoil, the variety of incidents attended and the unpredictable nature of the job. Kate Fullen lives in the North East of England and has been a firefighter for over 16 years. Born in County Durham, the second of four children and sandwiched between two brothers, Kate soon became accustomed to holding her own amongst male counterparts. This competitive drive saw her reach a high level in numerous sports and win 3 consecutive national chess championships. After graduating from the University of Sunderland with a Sports Science degree, Kate was undecided as to her future career, but a chance visit to an open day at the Fire Service Training Centre changed her life forever.
