If Pressed
If Pressed--the second collection of poetry from Andrew McEwan--explores forms of pressurized and pressurizing language as a means to shed light on the depressions we live among. Overlapping language of fear and speculation gain momentum in these poems, where layers of atmospheric and emotional lexicons--ranging from descriptions of the mid-2000s financial crisis and subsequent recession, to writing on melancholia from the 1600s, to weather reports and condo listings, to pharmaceutical sales pitches and literary book reviews--focus attention on the ways that anxiety so easily and completely infiltrates our daily personal and public experiences.

RETURN TO ARROW RIVER
Andrew McEwan had left his home on the Arrow River in New Zealand in the 1880's to seek his fortune in the gold fields of Montana. Now his great grandson has come to Montana from New Zealand to trace the story of Andrew McEwan, who having fled from Montana for fear of his life, had entered upon a long and perilous journey to return to New Zealand and to his home on Arrow River. While this story is a continuation of the lives of Max and Bronwyn, of A PLACE CALLED FAIRHAVENS, as well as a further account of those who played a part in HARRY’S LEGACY, this is a complete story in its own right and can be enjoyed without having read the previous novels.
Where There’s Brass, There’s Muck
In the glorious May of 1998, the governors of the Tanswold School Trust are looking forward to a new era in which they are about to build a new dining hall for their independent school. However, the unbridled optimism soon turns to despondency as they realise that the bursar has been doing DIY stock-broking with a very large bequest which has provided security for the school. For the band of elderly socialites that form the governing body this is not just a disaster, but a scandal that attracts the attention of the fraud squad of the Middle Riding of Yorkshire Constabulary who open up a financial can of worms. And it’s not just financial; the appalling standard of hygiene in the school dining hall leads to a serious outbreak of food-poisoning with heart-breaking consequences. The headmaster is placed under the spotlight and his management becomes more and more capricious as the spotlight is shone on him. The remaining part of the summer term becomes more and more of a comedy of errors as he loses his grip. As for speech day...

Ocellus
A Geordie sketchbook featuring time travel, reincarnation and the entire history of Newcastle-upon-Tyne from Roman to present day. There is a mythology inherent in regions with a strong cultural identity, none more so than North East England, where the fabulous exists alongside the mundane and both are treated with a dispassion born of having seen it all before. The world was invented here, and it started with the first bridge, Pons Aelius, over the Tyne. Merging historical fact with picturesque invention and involving notable names, perilous deeds and fantastical undertakings, Ocellus is a unique mix of all things weird and wordy that boasts both supernatural elements and everyday machinations, served up on a plate of local manners with a good dollop of humour, metaphysics and poetry.
