  "Reading these poems you could say that the love poem is alive and, if not kicking, then beautifully stretching out its long limbs and casting a cool and appraising eye on both the beloved and the lover. And it is this gaze, compellingly detached and tender, that informs many of these hugely enjoyable poems.
In language that is lucid and spare, yet attentive to a subtle lyricism, this first full-length collection by Gareth Writer-Davies offers an honest look at the self, the man in relationship, through a romantic eroticism that is both playful and deadly serious."

..we love books. The look. The feel. The smell. And, of course, the ideas they contain. We are small (we prefer bijou) because that’s how we prefer to be. We are not in a rush and we publish what we want to, not what market forces say we ought to. We also take our responsibilities to those we publish seriously.

We do not use Print on Demand (POD) services and commit to a proper print run. We go that extra mile to ensure our books are a bit special.
