On #BookshopDay I’ve just finished this stunning book written in prose poetry by @BarkMeg, told with such guts! Equally brutal and beautiful. Thanks for the recommendation @owensheers @CHEERIOPublish #amreading #poetry

“XO SKELETON is the supple, steady, uncanny new album by La Force: a mixture of haunted pop and hot-blooded R&B that glistens at the meeting-point between life, death and love.” - @thesoundofvinyl Go listen to this incredibly powerful 9-track record by @laforceband OUT NOW

Just this minute finished the extraordinary KIT from @BarkMeg. Has anyone else read it? Such a powerful, intense and beautiful novel, an intoxicating mix of poetry & prose. Complex & compelling. The temptation to turn back to the very first page and delve in once more is huge!

I absolutely loved ‘Kit’, the debut novel by @BarkMeg, and devoured it in a single day. A poetry/prose hybrid, this text offers a deep exploration of friendship, marriage, and motherhood through a fascinating series of flashbacks, painfully insightful glimpses, and silences.
