“I moved to a country called writing” declares Tim Tim Cheng in this striking debut collection exploring family history, displacement, politics and protest. As these poems range from Hong Kong, Scotland, and London, they unravel the relationship between the body, ecology and class with precise and haunting tenderness.

“Tim Tim’s urgent and taut poems articulate the structures we are born to, bound by, and spend a life breaking free from. The Tattoo Collector digs under the artifice of skin, language and even country to recover and define the self." - Marjorie Lotfi

Caleb Parkin’s dark and mischievous second poetry collection Mingle stirs up the toxicities between landscapes, ecosystems and bodies, in poems bubbling over with hyper-wealth and haunted by tarnished ideals. Through creatures, compounds and chemicals, the poems probe what makes up our world's matter, and how we use it for good or ill.

“Mingle is a fizzing meditation on our queer and marvellous intermingled world, its bounty and its poisons, our interconnectedness and our complicity. It raises important questions about the inseparability of systems and their consequences.” - Polly Atkin
