Sale!The new novel from the twice Booker Prize-nominated Sarah Hall. An electrifying novel of passion, connection and transformation from "a writer of show-stopping genius" (The Guardian) ''In many ways ... Burntcoat feels like a culmination of Hall’s work and, in my opinion, it is her finest yet" - Ruth Gilligan, The Independent"You were the last one here before I closed the door of Burntcoat, before we all shut our doors. In the bedroom above her immense studio at Burntcoat, the celebrated sculptor Edith Harkness is making her final preparations. The symptoms are well known: her life will draw to an end in the coming days. Downstairs, the studio is a crucible glowing with memories and desire. It was here, when the first lockdown came, that she brought Halit. The lover she barely knew. A presence from another culture. A doorway into a new and feverish world."

Sale!Catherine Smith's first acclaimed collection 'The Butcher's Hands' was a disturbing and exciting book. 'Lip' moves on from its grotesqueries and grand guignol to a fierce, often frantic eroticism through the language of the human body. - Google Books.

The main theme is the relationship of women to the world and the people around them, and there's also a wonderful hint of the erotic about them too. Great stuff." ***** - Amazon "Exciting, surprising poetry - an inspiration." ***** - Amazon Special Offer: We are offering the title at 25% off the publisher's RRP

Hannah Hodgson, who suffers from an array of conditions that dramatically affect her life, draws on her own illness and disability in an explicit and courageous way, with direct and artful poems that raise questions about the relationship between personal identity, the physical body and our place in the world. “In this remarkable pamphlet, Hannah Hodgson maps out the territory and shifting borders between the body and the self. With a careful and clear-eyed lyricism, she examines how disability and illness mean constant negotiation with a society that too often finds it easier to look away. This is poetry that needed to be written and a voice that deserves to be heard.” - Kim Moore Hannah has been published in a number of literary magazines, won several young poets competitions and been poet in residence at Lakes Alive and Kendal Poetry festivals. She has a YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/c/HannahHodgson) where she talks about her illnesses and reviews books and poetry collections. Hannah worked with Litfest on the Poetry Mosaic for the Litfest Autumn Weekend. This pamphlet is supplied post free and will be sent direct via Wayleave Publishers.
