Matthew Haigh's Black Jam is a delectable and delicious collection of poetry, with a sheen of on surface sweetness which conceals its darker undertones: ominous omens and the very real presence of death. Black Jam is deeply bittersweet, with flavours to savour, and an aftertaste that lingers long on the tongue.
Death Magazine is a futuristic, glossy body horror magazine in poetry form. It takes our cacophonous obsession with perfectionism and turns it into a series of synthetic, blackly-comic nightmares.
New poetry from Matthew Haigh, author of Death Magazine (Salt) and Black Jam (Broken Sleep Books). Vampires is a rare book: devastating both for its dazzling linguistic flair and its moving central story-an elegy to a lost, beloved aunt.
Neptune Blue opens outside the galaxy and quickly zooms into a computer-generated Paris, dancing past the planets as it goes. With poems that fizz with wit and invention, Simon Barraclough's new collection bursts with crazy hearts and boisterous planets. From the Sun to Pluto; from baby sharks in Miami to the forlorn dogs of Sri Lanka and the unlucky settlers of the imaginary Island of Schalansky; Neptune Blue sees Barraclough at his most playful and musical, dishing up a feast for the eyes, the ears, the heart and the mind.

English Reformations takes a refreshing new approach to the study of the Reformation in England. Christopher Haigh's lively and readable study disproves any facile assumption that the triumph of Protestantism was inevitable, and goes beyond the surface of official political policy to explorethe religious views and practices of ordinary English people. With the benefit of hindsight, other historians have traced the course of the Reformation as a series of events inescapably culminating in the creation of the English Protestant establishment. Dr Haigh sets out to recreate the sixteenthcentury as a time of excitement and insecurity, with each new policy or ruler causing the reversal of earlier religious changes. This is a scholarly and stimulating book, which challenges traditional ideas about the Reformation and offers a powerful and convincing alternative analysis.
