Our book of the week is our Spring Recommendation: Before Violence by Joe Carrick-Varty.
Bold and compelling, Carrick-Varty's second collection reflects further on growing up under the cloud of abuse and alcoholism, unfolding patterns as it examines how the past shapes our future lives. This collection's three gripping long poems look unflinchingly at inheritance, pain and memory. These poems will grip you, and stay with you long after reading.
