Well that's something pretty damn cool to come home to... (@PolygonBooks)

RIGHT. In deeply exciting (for me) news (about me)... I’m delighted to say that my novel Rabbits will be published by @polygon in June. LOOK how cool the cover is. See more/pre-order here: https://t.co/Lc9ZAXkSyv

[James Crawford @Jdcrawf]

Delighted to have acquired this book for @PolygonBooks and to work with @hugorifkind on it - it’s terrific. The Crow Road meets The Secret History with a nostalgic (certainly for me!) grungy/indie 90s backdrop. And I LOVE our cover

@IonaLeepoetry 'Marriage' by William Letford.
. . . my wish for you
is the incidental, the ordinary,
to know someone
by the way their fork moves across a plate,
to see the majesty in someone’s back, sleeping.
