We are delighted to announce the publication of LOVE BETWEEN MEN by Pádraig Ó Tuama!

Publishing 10th September 2026.

Some men love each other. For others, love of something else gets between them. Pádraig Ó Tuama’s LOVE BETWEEN MEN begins in the garden of Eden, recasting Adam, Eve, and God into voices both abrasive and intimate. Then, in seven deadly sonnets, the poet details his own experiences of exorcisms and gay reparative therapies, exploring desire with its promise and fear of fulfillment. These poems - by turns, intelligent, funny, devastating, and explosive - consider time, the edges of empire, and the limits of the tongue. Here is rage paired with prayer, in punked-up forms and broken sequences. LOVE BETWEEN MEN celebrates and challenges love: of history, poetry, and language - and ultimately, of change.

@padraigotuama (b. 1975, Ireland) is a poet with interests in conflict, religion, and language. He presents Poetry Unbound from On Being Studios, a podcast with over 21 million downloads. His previous books include Kitchen Hymns, In the Shelter, and 44 Poems on Being with Each Other. He now lives in the US on Quinnipiac land and teaches at Yale Divinity School.

“There is something eternal but also completely now about this collection. It is sacred and profane: a benediction, a spell and a curse all in one.” - Damian Barr

“If I need a melody, I’ll turn to Paul Simon. If I need rhythm, I’ll listen to Steve Gadd. But if it’s words, well that will be Pádraig Ó Tuama.” - Simon Mayo

GILBERT & GEORGE AND THE COMMUNISTS paperback by James Birch out now!

Picking up where the acclaimed BACON IN MOSCOW left of, GILBERT & GEORGE AND THE COMMUNISTS sees daring art dealer James Birch take the most iconic duo in British art through the dying embers of the Soviet Union, and into a China reinventing itself post-Tiananmen Square as a global superpower.

GILBERT & GEORGE AND THE COMMUNISTS is more than just a picaresque and deeply funny riot through art history: it is a first-hand account of how, just as one global giant died, another was born.

★ ‘A winning combination of recent-ish global history, alcohol fuelled bad behaviour and the struggle to bring art to the masses. Very good and very funny.’ ★ - Jarvis Cocker by @cheeriopublishing

Out now! IN PURSUIT OF A WONDERFUL NOTHING by Kim Noble!

IN PURSUIT OF A WONDERFUL NOTHING is a fragmented odyssey of artistic survival and longing. Reconstructed through hand-drawn illustrations, artefacts and photographs, cult performance artist Kim Noble navigates the blurred edges of performance and autobiography, tracing the journey through the everyday theatre of his life.

Absurd, touching and humorous, the book itself becomes an artefact – proof of an unreal real life. Kim Noble’s journey is less a memoir and more a treasure hunt through the weird tides of love, loneliness, and the art of staying afloat.

@mrkimnoble is a critically acclaimed, award-winning performance and video artist whose provocative, touching, and darkly funny work blurs the boundary between comedy, theatre, and audio-visual art.
