Her Mother's Hands
Her Mother's Hands is an examination of the deepest human bonds and a beautiful and moving tribute to life.
How to Carry Fire
How to Carry Fire was born from the ashes of family addiction. Beginning with the burning down of her childhood home, Thatcher explores how fire can both destroy and cleanse. Her work recognises embers everywhere: in farmhouses, heroin needles, poisonous salamanders. Thatcher reveals how fire is internalised and disclosed through anxiety, addiction, passion and love. Underneath and among the flames runs the American and Welsh landscapes – locations which, like fire itself, offer up experiences which mesmerise, burn and purify. This poignant second collection reminds us of how the most dangerous and volatile fires can forge us – even long after the flames have died down.
Hey Bert
Hey Bert is a clarion call to open our eyes to the extentof poetry's capacity with the aim to find new ways oflooking at our own lives. Poems that speak intenselyof the everyday, of nostalgia, friendship and love, thebody, the sacred, all seen through Pastore's unique,eccentric filter of spirit animals, pop-culture, dreamsand astrology.In the spirit of John Giorno, Anne Waldman, and JuliaHeyward, Pastore's work draws from performance art,confessional poetry, mantra, and folklore to create avoice both fiercely contemporary and somehow out oftime. His inspiration for this collection derived fromhis trips to Carlisle, where his love for poetry ignitedtwelve years ago.'I think my poems connect with people, becausethey speak of things that we all experience and aren'tintimidating to people who don't generally read poetry.I think my collection could be a bridge for people whogrew up on Instagram poetry.'

Pigeon
An incongruous ice-cream van lurches up into the Welsh hills through the hail, pursued by a boy and girl who chase it into their own dark make-believe world, and unfurl in their compelling voices a tale which ultimately breaks out of childhood and echoes across the years. Pigeon is the tragic, occasionally hilarious and ultimately intense story of a childhood friendship and how it s torn apart, a story of guilt, silence and the loss of innocence, and a story about the kind of love which may survive it all."
Hello Friend We Missed You
Hello Friend We Missed You is a poignant and comic novel about loneliness, Netflix, existing, rural life, money, Jack Black, and learning to live in the least excruciating way possible. Its story, which unfolds on the small Welsh island of Môn, of people armed with every social media completely failing to communicate, is far, far funnier than it has any right to be. It's also, ultimately, extremely moving. An incredible debut novel from a truly unique prose stylist.
Between the Boundaries
'Between the Boundaries' follows the course of a single year and covers topics that range from the habits of beavers to the progression of Artificial Intelligence, journeying from Wales to Australia with many stops in between. Humorous, thought- provoking and insightful, it sweeps over and beneath the boundaries, both visible and invisible, that cover the world
Raymond Williams: From Wales to the World
Raymond Williams came from Wales, and was brought up in a working-class family. These facts of place and class are the start of a thread which runs throughout his life and work. In Raymond Williams: From Wales to the World his writing, whether theoretical, historical, critical or as fiction has been treated as a single whole, recognising that his ideas were interwoven as a literary and intellectual engagement with Wales and the world over several decades. This collection of essays, edited by Stephen Woodhams, serves to further engage and extend his ideas of class and society.
Figurehead
In this debut collection of stories Carly Holmes peers into every corner of the strange fiction genre: from rural gothic through to traditional ghost stories and the uncanny. Mothers turn into trees when the sun goes down; Russian Dolls mourn their missing sisters in rotting houses; men offer sacrifices to the monsters who embody their inner wildness; and murderous demons protect young girls' virginity. Ranging from flash fiction to novelette, these stories are in turn chilling, playful, and melancholy. The bonds of family and of community, both in their fracturing and their healing states, the uneasy relationship between living in the present and yearning for the past, are themes that thread their way through Figurehead. Every tale is rich with landscapes haunted by loss and longing.
More Than You Were
A brave debut, More than you were, explores what it means to lose a father to an addiction and live on.
