Evans' debut short story collection explores our youthful years through a character of each of the ages between sixteen and twenty-four-ages routinely tick-boxed together. Set in shiny cities, stuffy universities and other alternative universes, they explore issues from class to climate-crisis and chemsex with tenderness, humour and inventiveness.

Evans' debut novella is an uproarious and uplifting romantic comedy for queer elders. When a gentleman called Joan lands up in a care home, new neighbour Jim doesn't know what's hit him. Battle begins. May the best man win. But beneath antics and antique armour plating, what are both hiding? And maybe they just may be batting for the same team.

The world's last functioning metropolis is ravaged by a perpetual downpour from a polluted sky. Within it, Akio Yowamushi escapes through his addiction: The Haven System; a computerized utopia that houses the mysterious Girl in the Garden. But when Akio begins experiencing visions of the Girl in distress in the real world, he finds that there's nothing he won't do to protect his vice, and the woman he loves deep inside it.

"Ironic wit is the tightrope that enables Bonnie Jae Dane to balance between anger and sentimentality as her language intoxicated young narrator-who is a real charmer-tells us about her struggle to survive the daily trauma of the inner city, to express her love of her mama, and to imagine the wildflowers that might grow if only given a chance. It eloquently tells the story of a teenager whose life is fraught with the damaging effects of bullying, which causes her to seek comfort in her imagined life of flowers making the world a better place." Professor Allen Guttman Amherst College

We are all connectedIf Alice landed in London not Wonderland this book might be the result. Threads is the first collection from Nathan Evans, each poem complemented by a bespoke photograph from Justin David and, like Tenniel¿s illustrations for Carroll, picture and word weft and warp to create an alchemic (rabbit) whole.On one page, the image of an alien costume, hanging surreally beside a school uniform on a washing line, accompanies a poem about fleeing suburbia. On another, a poem about seeking asylum accompanies the image of another displaced alien on an urban train. Spun from heartfelt emotion and embroidered with humour, Threads will leave you aching with longing and laughter. ¿In this bright and beautiful collaboration, poetry and photography join hands, creating sharp new ways to picture our lives and loves. Every page delighted me.¿¿NEIL BARTLETT¿A winning blend of words and images, woven with passion and wit¿¿PAUL BURSTON¿Two boldly transgressive poetic voices¿¿MARISA CARNESKY
