Book Synopsis
But & Though is the debut poetry collection by south London poet Jake Hawkey. Jake Hawkey was born in 1990 and grew up in Woolwich. He studied Fine Art at the University of Westminster and holds an MA in Poetry from Queen's University, Belfast. His moving and hard-hitting collection grew out of an investigation into addiction within families for his PhD research, informed by his own experience of south London's socio-political class dynamics. Hawkey's poems are published in several journals and anthologies, including Hold Open the Door (UCD, 2020), The Honest Ulsterman and Proletarian Poetry. He has had sculpture works commissioned and has read his poems internationally, including on Beale Street, Tennessee, and at L'Abri Fellowship, Massachusetts. He was selected for Poetry Ireland's Introductions series in 2020. His chapbook Breeze Block appeared from Lumpen/The Class Work Project in 2020.
