Homography: mapping multiple perspectives of a single subject; words with the same form but different meanings (see gay, story); homosexual history approached through autobiography; projective transformation (from personal to political plane). Evans uses his own relationships—sexual and familial, chosen and biological—to explore queer heritage. In this collection you'll happen upon ancestors from antiquity to present day including Narcissus and Derek Jarman, as well as iconic venues like the Royal Vauxhall Tavern. There is imagery drawn from the natural world, and from to the underworlds of fetish and clubbing—a diversity echoed in forms concrete and classical. There is also shame, and there is trauma, but always leavened by fierce humour and hope for our future. This bold and beautiful third collection from Polari Prize longlisted poet Nathan Evans features poems published by Royal Society of Literature, Muswell Press, Broken Sleep and Fourteen Poems. It is edited by TS Eliot Prize winner Joelle Taylor and published for LGBTQIA+ History Month 2026.Ver libro

When an old man at the tavern suggests someone who could rid the province of Dorraine of its eternal winter would be a hero, it gives Niall, an apprentice carpenter, an idea. All he needs to do is find such a man, a sorcerer of great power, he thinks. It means traveling over the high mountains in search of such a person, if one exists. Something he knows he can't do alone. So he persuades three of his apprentice friends to join him. They need to find a mercenary to escort and protect them, as their Masters are unwilling to allow them to make the quest without one. Renard enters the picture. It takes a fair amount of persuasion, and the willingness of the merchants to pay his fees, but finally he agrees. Once they have everything they need -- clothing, food, weapons, and mules and a cart to transport all they had -- they set out. As they fight snow and wind-blown blizzards through the canyon leading to their destination, or so they hope, Niall and Renard form a bond which might go beyond friendship, despite the disparity in their ages. Can they make it to the other side of the mountains alive, with the weather, wolves, and brigands to contend with? If so, will they find a land with all the seasons, and most importantly, a sorcerer willing to help? They pray it's possible but only time will tell.Ver libro
