<b>In the third and final installment of the Souls Trilogy, acclaimed poet Iain S. Thomas explores what hope feels like after despair.</b><br/><br/>Following on his bestselling collections, <i>The Truth of You</i> and<i> The Secret of You</i>, Thomas's latest volume of over two-hundred poems examines how we find the faith to carry on when everything has been stripped away and all that remains is the core of who we are.<br/><br/> Enhanced by dramatic ink illustrations in his signature style, <i>The Heart of You</i> explores fear, bravery, intimacy, what we keep, and what we leave behind.

<b>With care and vulnerability, novelist and poet Lang Leav explores what it means to live a purpose-filled life as a woman in search of fulfillment and visibility. </b><br/><br/>Through poetry, micro-essays, and ruminations, <i>Soon It Will Be Sunday</i> delves into the purpose and impact of the interpersonal attachments that women form during different stages of their lives. Internationally bestselling author Lang Leav reflects on the perilous and winding road of being a woman, contending with the conflicting messages we receive from society, and the choices we make that ultimately define us, while also addressing the narrowing options women face with the passing of time.<br/><br/> Deeply personal and all too relatable, <i>Soon It Will Be Sunday</i> aims to provide a mirror for women to see and be seen no matter which era of womanhood you are currently navigating.

<b>A Poetry Book Society Recommendation</b><br/><br/>Dean Browne arrives at the <i>After Party</i> with the maturity and style of an altogether more seasoned poet. In a debut collection of standout and stand-alone poems, each tests the boundaries of its unique universe. Browne is a mesmeric teller of strange tales, imaginings that can seem origamically contained within the compressed dimensions of a poem. A leg sets off on a long train journey; a Parisian alley cat is launched into space; earthbound lovers attempt to connect while their inner lives prove unbridgeable.<br/><br/>Losses are mourned: two poets elegized here - Charles Simic and the late Donegal poet Matthew Sweeney - might offer a fingerpost of sensibilities, though Browne's significant talent is distinctly his own. <i>After Party</i> introduces a beguiling, resonant new voice, a raised eyebrow and fidelity to the image - sometimes carried along the tightrope much further than seems possible. In poems that are both death-haunted and youthful, and thrumming with a delicious dark humour, Dean Browne brings a much-needed injection of the surreal - or the surreal-ish as he might prefer to say - to Ireland's rising generation.<br/><br/><b>'Poems that sneak in the side-door then exit through the ceiling' Caroline Bird</b><br/><br/><b>'Dean Browne is a terrific poet: his language is agile and fresh, his ideas surprising, and the reader feels invigorated, renewed - and lucky to have met such poems' Nick Laird</b>
