The Hard Word Box \u00a0<\/em>by Sarah Hesketh<\/a><\/h4>\n

Was \u00a39.99 \u00a0 Now \u00a35.99<\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n

As Poet in Residence for Age Concern Lancashire, Sarah Hesketh set about documenting the stories of dementia sufferers over the course of 20 weeks in a care home. The result is a book of poems and verbatim interviews that takes the reader on a surprising and enriching journey through language, memory and imagination. The tenderness, suffering and humour on display throughout this stunning book makes for a heartbreaking and life-affirming read.<\/p>\n

In the Catacombs<\/em> \u00a0by Chris McCabe<\/a><\/h4>\n

Was \u00a312.99 \u00a0\u00a0Now \u00a37.99<\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n

“I went into the cemetery because I wanted to find a great lost poet. I wanted to find an original voice: unknown and overlooked for centuries. I wanted to give my ear to their music, to listen for its hiss and cadence in the still-smouldering remains of their white ashes.”<\/em> So begins Chris McCabe’s wander into literary detection in the West Norwood Cemetery. A startlingly original work, In the Catacombs –\u00a0<\/em>part literary criticism, part Gothic fiction – is a book to “to buy, to read and re-read, and to keep”.<\/p>\n
