The Darwin Vampires, Patrick Chapman's fifth collection, draws on life, as much as on imagination, to explore themes of memory, death, fractured love, and the often-harrowing strangeness of the world around us. From the Pushcart-Prize-nominated title poem, with its dreamlike take on the evolution of the undead, through heartbreaking elegies for lost childhood innocence, to the final, affecting, sequence on mortality, The Darwin Vampires is an addictive and immersive experience that you'll want to return to again and again.
The 'Mono' EPs are set to redefine the way people read short stories. Produced using a classic design, the EPs, offer a pocketsize companion that can be taken and read anywhere - and there is no need for batteries. This EP features stories.
Intimate and daring, the poems in Patrick Chapman's remarkable third collection explore with often searing clarity the naked spaces of love, sex, and death. Startling, original, sometimes quietly devastating, this is the finest work to date from a writer hailed as 'one of the very best modern Irish poets.'
David Cronenberg's films stand collectively as one of the great achievements in cinema. Fearless, imaginative and provocative, as well as intelligent and refreshingly disturbing, his work expresses a unique personal vision. More than simply 'the baron of blood' or the 'king of venereal horror', Cronenberg has long transcended these early attempts to label him. Through five decades of parasites, plastic realities, creative destruction and the rise of the new flesh - here is a filmmaker uniquely suited to dissect our mutating relationship with sex, death and technology. David Cronenberg On Screen presents a new survey of his extraordinary career, from early, experimental shorts and body-horror explorations, to commercial success with The Fly and Dead Ringers, and on to his celebrated and sometimes controversial literary adaptations. This volume also considers his excursions as an actor; key collaborators; television and advertising; and his new phase as a novelist. Cronenberg's recurring themes are explored along the way: psychological transformation revealed in physical mutation, disease as an agent of change, violence, alternative sexualities, and the viral nature of desire. In our hyper-connected world of pandemic fear and mutable identities, the films of David Cronenberg are as relevant as ever
Eavan Boland, writing in Poetry Ireland Review, praised Patrick Chapman's "real gifts for rhythmic shock treatment and offbeat diction", describing him as "one of the very compelling voices" of the new generation of Irish poets. This equally sharp and confident second collection explores strange new directions and bizarre themes, in poems about America, viruses, a fear of falling satellites, and the uterus as a birthday present.
Patrick Chapman has one of the most distinctive and creative voices in Irish poetry. This title contains 22 new poems and selected work from his five previous collections.
