Hybrid Heaven & Other(ed) Poems is a bold, genre-defying collection that maps the textures of diasporic identity across continents, cultures, and histories. Moving between Canberra, Leighton Buzzard, Accra, Kingston, and beyond, Andrew Geoffrey Kwabena Moss stitches together fragments of memory, music, migration, and myth into a vivid poetic tapestry.

‘Using seemingly everyday materials and sensations, Nespola hums with its lucid, uncanny tableaux of ambiguous intimacy. These audacious, haunting narratives and lyrics, peppered with ecstatic punctures and folds, know what our bodies bury and hold. They ask, “how much of myself, to save / myself, can I destroy?”. Anders Villani is a wayfinding alchemist.’

‘There is a searing honesty and daringness, a readiness to confront the inherent complexities of our lives, in Maxwell’s third collection, but it is coupled with a very human tenderness.' - Denise O'Hagan on Thistle, a new collection by Kate Maxwell

'The poems explore the collision of romantic love with the doomed romance of military service and provide an elegiac refrain for both. Kat Rae’s artistic response to the poems expands and enhances their significance, providing a vivid and thought-provoking complementary visual experience.'
