The Biting Point
Catherine Smith is an award-winning poet whose books The Butcher's Hands and Lip were both shortlisted for the prestigious Forward Prize.

They explore the lies we tell each other, and ourselves, with unsettling results. A woman falls apart as she prepares for her secret lover's funeral... A child builds a magical sandcastle as her parents' marriage crumbles... A young woman confesses to her part in a catastrophically cruel childhood stunt... A love-struck teenager's driving lesson reveals a devastating gap between fantasy and reality... Catherine Smith's writing is always pin-sharp, unsentimental and insightful. Her stories delight in human possibility and complexity.
