After the success of her pamphlet Poems For Pete Davidson with Broken Sleep, Ella Sadie Guthrie introduces us to Scorpio SZN: an exploration of love in all its forms. Named Scorpio SZN after the intense reputation Scorpios have garnered for being deep lovers with a penchant for revenge, in this book Guthrie explores the relationships that have shaped her through visceral metaphor and sometimes slightly unsettling imagery (with no mention of Pete Davidson in sight). What starts as a collection of poems about falling in love and the aftermath of it, quickly turns into an examination of how the past can make us who we are and how to overcome it. Get ready for heartbreaking declarations of love and surreal, out-of-this-world imagery grounded in the concrete memory of a Nike sports dress or the door of an IKEA flat-pack wardrobe. Playful yet raw, Scorpio SZN is the antidote for anyone who's ever felt bruised by love.

Out November 4th. Pre-order now. 🦂♥️

The Year of the Butterfly by Abigail Mitchell is a slippery collection of poems, composed in the back bathrooms of Soho gay bars and the muddy woods of Essex. In its q***r and confessional fragments, bodies, lives and loves are formed and reformed in clay and glitter; the unruly dead are eulogized on coffee shop napkins and the promise of tomorrow is the eternal driving force. These poems are questions and answers; stories of change, growth, and endings. Proof that it is never too late to become who we truly are.

Out November 3rd. Pre-order now.

Permit Me To Write My Own Ending is a collection that spans generations and timescapes - from gritty explorations of a London adolescence, to haunting poems detailing love and adulthood in the US. Faulkner’s language and form dissects the emotional impact of historical trauma, navigating and sharply reframing nationality and memory, interiority and history. Depictions of London during the Blitz and post-war Berlin sit alongside poems about motherhood and childhood from the perspective of one of Freud’s most famous patients. In this defiant debut collection, the act of writing boldly confronts a landscape dominated by patriarchal notions of the female, deftly redefining it with language and vivid imagery. Faulkner unapologetically writes her own ending.

Our March 28th. Keep your eyes open for the US pre-order announcement 👀 but if you live anywhere else in the world, you can pre-order NOW via the link in our website.
