Copy Press Turtlemen
Turtlemen… a myth born from the loss of myth. A book of prose, poem and play arising from generations of a people who were isolated on the mid-Atlantic island of Bermuda, a people torn from their continent and severed from their ancestral stories. In a language often raw and heartbreaking, Turtlemen is composed to take you to the deepest recesses of sex, oppression, intimacy and ultimately what it means to survive – it is for speaking out loud.

I grew up with the ordinariness of the colonial order of things and the banality of apartheid in the spaces where other whites, like me, lived ... Unearthed demonstrates, through a weave of time and place - be it then or now, the Seychelles, Johannesburg or London - how the `ordinariness' of prejudice and violence persists. Raising memory from burden to force, this book pulls you in and takes you to an understanding of why it is important to speak.

Copy Press Pure Means: Writing, Photographs and an Insurrection of Being
PURE MEANS draws fictional writing, philosophy and politics tight together. With two scraps of paper, scribbled down words, a crumpled photographic image, along with a gesture and an utterance saying 'This voice is not mine', this book unashamedly asks us to become visionaries and see what 'pure means' can be. Littered with experiments, not only with writing and words, but also with the art of citation without citation marks, glosses and glossary, PURE MEANS troubles the preponderance of government today. It brings an 'insurrection of being' into sight, and it is magical to see.

Copy Press Wednesday Afternoon
Wednesday Afternoon is a collection of prose that introduces awkward perspectives on all manner of things: a house taken on an arduous journey across a frozen lake, a puff of dust released from yesterday's socks, a death in a basement, a gathering of strangers. Vit Hopley pays attention to every detail. She writes on sitting, standing and lying down, but most significantly she creates a stillness that is almost photographic.
