'A spectacular comeback' Jeremy Noel Tod, Prospect 'Siken's signature intensity still throbs between sentences' The Yale Review A collection of pitch-perfect prose poems written in the immediate aftermath of a catastrophic stroke. From the author of cult poetry bestseller, Crush. Richard Siken's Crush was an underground international sensation. Twenty years on, he returns with the momentous I Do Know Some Things, cinematic in its tragic vision and emotive force. In the aftermath of a stroke, the poet's language and much of his memory is, for a time, wiped out. As his mind gropes its way back from oblivion, the scenery flickers between memories of a ruptured childhood and queer coming-of-age, and the precipice of the present. Each poem is a room in a 'house owned by ghosts'. In these seventy-seven prose poems, Siken has forged a new voice at once terrifying and vital. Brave in content and in method, I Do Know Some Things demands his recognition as an essential poet of our times. 'Thrums with reinvention: of the self, of the prose poem, of the false divide between the everyday and the surreal' Andrew McMillan Praise for Crush: 'Cumulative, driving, apocalyptic power' Louise Glück 'The immense wingspan of influence that Crush has on 21st-century American poetry cannot be overstated' Ocean Vuong

The Times bestseller and winner of the Bloody Scotland Pitch Perfect Award and the Bloody Scotland Crime Debut of the Year. 'A masterpiece' - Janice Hallett, author of The Appeal Inspired by a real-life case, Kate Foster's The Maiden is a remarkable story with a feminist revisionist twist, giving a voice to women otherwise silenced by history. In the end, it did not matter what I said at my trial. No one believed me. Edinburgh, October 1679. Lady Christian is arrested and charged with the murder of her lover, James Forrester.

Only a year before, Lady Christian was newly married, leading a life of privilege and respectability. So, what led her to risk everything for an affair? And does that make her guilty of murder? She wasn't the only woman in Forrester's life, and certainly not the only one who might have had cause to wish him dead . . . 'Exceptional - a tense, thrilling investigation, with a decidedly feminist slant ' - Daily Mail 'Riveting . . . the tension persists until the last page' - The Times 'Threat hangs over every page like the awaiting guillotine, but the women in this book gleam sharper' - Cari Thomas, bestselling author of Threadneedle
