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.
