Khairani Barokka’s poetry collection, Rope, is a spellbinding and impressive debut, kaleidoscopic in detail and richly compelling.

These five crime stories dive into the shady undertow of Britain’s second city, walking with characters you might well want to cross the road to avoid.

The Book of Tides is treasure trove of luscious, visceral poems, full of delightful risks, utterly thrilling and always pleasurably close to the bone. These poems teem with strange and beautiful gems, the dark sparkle of a particular strand of skewed folklore; we encounter mermaids and Joan of Arc, a man with a beard of bees, a Tattooist s daughter and Beatrix Potter's bed.
