Hattaway’s signature pared back style reveals the starkness at the heart of life experiences – family connections, expectations, disappointments, grief. The detached voice, now teasing the reader with deadpan wit, now teetering cheerfully on the abyss, unflinchingly gazes upon ‘ sadness/at the heart of things’ yet emerges resilient, resisting, surviving.

Exposure by Julie-ann Rowell
This is a finely-wrought, dramatic collection of poems woven from the landscape and folklore of the Orkney Islands, where Julie-ann Rowell used to live and still frequently visits. Exposure is the poet's homage to the landscape, culture and history of the archipelago. Her personal response to this mysterious world imperceptibly draws the reader into reflections on contemporary social matters.

Canticle Liz McSkeane
ISBN: 978-0-9957916-3-3
Historical novel set in Renaissance Spain, based on the life of the Spanish mystic poet, St. John of the Cross.
"A formidable feat of imagination underpins this marvellous detective novel set in late 16th/early 17th century Spain...Canticle is a tale for our time, rife with insitutionalised power struggles, truth and misinformation, manipulated in the interests of the elite - same as it always was and is."
Anthony Glavin, The Independent
Canticle was a winner in the Irish Writers' Centre/Greenbean Novel Fair, 2016.

Sad Havoc Among the Birds by DS Maolalai
This is a beautifully-crafted, witty and sometimes sad exploration of the challenges of youth and contemporary life. Sad Havoc draws on the poet's memories, often viewed through the prism of his later experience of different countries and cultures. The poet's unique style, often playful, occasionally irreverent, is arresting in its evocation of the chaos, humour and the pathos of urban living.
