Terual, north-east SIn the Dark novel by Anamaria Crowe Serranopain, winter, 1937. The civil war is raging, pitting neighbour against neighbour, tearing families apart. Franco’s Nationalist rebels have surrounded the devastated, Republican-held city.

"Anamaría Crowe Serrano takes a bite out of life with 'Crunch,' a taunting sequence of poems that are intelligent and visceral." Keith Payne

Back from Away is a bold, courageous, often poignant evocation of the many ways in which the poet’s literal journeys – both leaving, and returning, home – are accompanied by a voyage into the self.

Wry, witty and surreal, the poems in Darren Donohue’s first collection demonstrate a confidence rare in début poets.

"A mix of directness and obliquity both alarming and reassuring - like the idea of fate. These poems play and pun, and sometimes come close and whisper something terribly sad and shocking in your ear." Elizabeth Knox.

Hattaway’s signature pared-back style reveals the starkness at the heart of life experiences – family connections, expectations, disappointments, grief.
