  Motherhood 
  He lies on his bed 
  I cuddle him 
  My hand is cupped 
  Under his ribcage; 
  I cannot work out 
  Which is his heartbeat 
  And which is mine. 
  This debut collection carries the reader on a journey from childhood to adulthood, covering the joy, pain, introspection and laughter encountered along the way. A must-have compilation of poems for every moment. Not to be missed.

  A poetic collage of art in the modern world: from Rilkean elegies for an iPhone to a meditation on Melville's classic
  Jonathan Ball's fourth poetry book, the first in seven years, swirls chaos and confession together. At the book's heart is a question: Why create art? A series of poetic sequences torment themselves over this question, offering few answers and taking fewer prisoners. Loose sonnets that consider the artistic creations of Leatherface, monster-killer from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, sit alongside Rilkean elegies for an iPhone. Surreal meditations on the collage work of Guy Maddin are followed by all of the lines from Melville's Moby-Dick that mention "salt." Politicians and painters jostle while absurdist humour crashes into stark admissions of vulnerability in the wake of having children. A startling diversity of styles and subjects feed into the maelstrom of The National Gallery, and its dark currents will draw you in to drown.

  It's the early 1990s and recovering addict Frankie Donnelly has just been sentenced to three and a half years in jail for dealing drugs.
  None of Frankie's fellow convicts are what they seem. In the most unexpected of places, he discovers that the revolution is not dead. It's just sleeping.
