Ultimately though

asking what do we hold onto when there is no-one there

inspired by the loss of her father

Sophie Dumont trained to be a canoe coach before her own coach and partner of three years died suddenly in an aquaplaning road accident

Her language is lush: intimate

unweather in me by Dillon Jaxx Derek Mahon Ultimately thoughThe debut poetry collection by Dillon Jaxx, unweather in me, is a mixtape from an eighties childhood that moves between requiems for a dead brother, anthems for the queer self, and love songs for a body sabotaging itself and its keeper through chronic illness. In Jaxx's bold and precise poems of absence and discovery, surreal and sometimes grotesque family portraits are painted through the changing weather of time, with humour, irony, and love.
