***PRE ORDER NOW - NEW POETRY IMPRINT ANNOUNCEMENT!***
We're very excited to announce the first publication from Carmenta, our new poetry imprint. A love the weight of an animal by Elizabeth Gibson will be published on 3 July. 'A love song to Manchester life', it will be Elizabeth's first full-length collection. Specially commissioned artwork by the wonderful Michelle Freeman.
Encounters with urban animals – a cormorant, a dead squirrel, caterpillars, swans – open the door to exploring community, body image, mental health, intimacy, and legacy, through a queer and neurodivergent lens. There are intermissions from city life to take hiking trips around the North, from snowy stillness in the Peak District, to feeling the ghost of Anne Lister in Halifax, to walking barefoot to Hilbre Island. Poems take the shape of a belly, a jam jar, a flame, or words meander down into the earth or disperse like music.
Available to pre-order from our online shop for the special price of £7 (plus p&p)....
