The Emma Press Trouble
Relationships are tricky. Sometimes you just have to take off. Maybe on a medieval pilgrimage, or to a ballroom in eighteenth-century London, or perhaps a hotel in Eastbourne where the sheets are made of plastic. But you can never really escape. Via nightingales, betting shops, horny marriage counsellors and Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, this pamphlet looks at different kinds of intimacy – with lovers, grandmothers, patriarchy, the not-yet- born – and what they can reveal about sex, power and care.

Penned in the Margins Darling, It's Me
Fiery, feminist and funny, Darling, It’s Me is the first collection by Norwich-based writer and academic Alison Winch. Winch combines refreshing explorations of marriage and motherhood with re-imaginings of Chaucer’s Wife of Bath and rebuttals to the 'great' (male) philosophers of the Enlightenment. Fusing philosophical interrogation with humour and pop cultural resonances, Darling, It’s Me plots new ground for confessional poetry.; "One of the cleverest, filthiest, most incendiary debuts I’ve ever read."
