  Experience the raw and unfiltered journey of Imé Corkery as she fearlessly confronts the harsh realities of a rare and agonizing chronic illness in her breathtaking debut collection, Persephone's Pancreas. In this remarkable memoir of creative nonfiction, Imé takes you on an unforgettable odyssey that traverses the chasm between illness and earthly delights. From Netflix binges to the warmth of oxytocin, and from the intimacy of hospital date nights to the touch of the divine, this is a story that will capture your heart and soul. Imé Corkery's brave narrative not only explores the trials and tribulations of living with Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction (SOD), a rare and excruciating chronic illness, but also delves deep into the essence of love, both human and mythological. As you embark on this medical journey alongside our resilient heroine, you'll witness the escalating trials, the strengthening of drugs, and the profound descent into a world of myth. Persephone's Pancreas is a profound exploration of love, pain, and the intricate dance between the two. If you've ever experienced the rawness of human emotions, this poetic masterpiece is a must-read, offering solace and inspiration to all who seek the light in the darkest of times. 
  Harrowing, sharp-witted, tender, raw and necessary, this is an indelible account from a poet with the sheer nerve to keep testifying, even when ‘pain is at its zenith.’ Persephone’s Pancreas is a collection from a writer who deserves the title heroine. - Tracey Slaughter  
  Persephone's Pancreas draws us skin to skin with chronic pain...sensory detail, myth and the everyday, to find the things needed to survive the liminal and lost zones of a long ‘sick girl summer.’- Aimee-Jane Anderson-O’Connor

  Dot Line Circle Human - A dot...

  "Dot. Line. Circle. Human." is not an ordinary story. 
  It is a journey. A transformation. 
  A tiny nothing – a dot – falls to Earth and begins to... feel. Think. Grow. 
  Chapter by chapter, it changes its shape – and maybe, so do you. 
  In 51 poetic, surprising, and profound episodes, this dot experiences everything we know ourselves: 
  Doubt, discovery, retreat, departure, pain, hope – and the quiet power of change. 
  What begins harmlessly becomes a subtle reflection of our own development: 
  How we curl up when it gets too much. 
  How we sometimes stumble, crash, break. 
  How we reinvent ourselves – as a line, as a tree, as light. 
  And how we might eventually come to realize: 
  We were never "just a dot." 
  We are a story in motion. 
  With clear language, tender depth, and a touch of cheeky poetry, this book invites you to remember yourself: 
  your roots, your radiance, your humanity. 
  A book to read slowly. 
  And feel for a long time.

  This a love letter to real life, however it shows up; an antidote to the highlight reel that is social media, a tribute to the unfinished, the unfiltered, the uncertain.
  In this debut collection of poetry, stories and questionable choices, Georgie Jones, with her signature wit and warmth, explores the exquisite messiness of modern existence and makes the chaos feel, somehow, like home. She can't promise any answers, but she can make you feel a little less alone in not having them.
