Our founder has done it again. Love is a Cat, Brandon's second book of poetry after Peat and Other Soils, is available to order now. Love is a Cat takes readers in a distinctly new direction, one laden with an exploration of love in all its forms. It is a collection of poetry that takes private observations and lays them bare for all to see.
It is an honest, reflective, and powerful collection.
The blurb can be found below:
"Some poems must be written lest the poet risk themselves by keeping it all in. It is in this same way that clouds must rain and the wind must blow. And like love itself, these things are really beyond us (regardless of how we may try to shield ourselves from their impact). Yes, some poems must be written. In Love is a Cat exist some of those poems.
In Love is a Cat, love is at once ferocious and gentle, mediative and destructive. Things are exactly what they are and something else entirely. A glance is a new world, a kiss is a pact, and adoration is embodied in flesh and blood. Love is real and beautiful and it is also dangerous."
Award winning poet Will Barnard has described the collection as a 'beautiful reflection of the poet's inner world, laid bare with an honesty and clarity that is often haunting.'
The collection itself has been published by Death of Workers Whilst Building Skyscrapers, an independent press ran by Lucy Wilkinson. Lucy hand sews many of the books she prints, meaning each one is given the attention that they deserve as tangible works of art. DoW have huge sale on for a plethora of releases, so please do check that out.
