Evans' debut short story collection explores our youthful years through a character of each of the ages between sixteen and twenty-four-ages routinely tick-boxed together.

Evans' debut novella is an uproarious and uplifting romantic comedy for queer elders. When a gentleman called Joan lands up in a care home, new neighbour Jim doesn't know what's hit him.

We are all connectedIf Alice landed in London not Wonderland this book might be the result. Threads is the first collection from Nathan Evans, each poem complemented by a bespoke photograph from Justin David and, like Tenniel¿s illustrations for Carroll, picture and word weft and warp to create an alchemic (rabbit) whole.On one page, the image of an alien costume, hanging surreally beside a school uniform on a washing line, accompanies a poem about fleeing suburbia. On another, a poem about seeking asylum accompanies the image of another displaced alien on an urban train. Spun from heartfelt emotion and embroidered with humour, Threads will leave you aching with longing and laughter. ¿In this bright and beautiful collaboration, poetry and photography join hands, creating sharp new ways to picture our lives and loves. Every page delighted me.¿¿NEIL BARTLETT¿A winning blend of words and images, woven with passion and wit¿¿PAUL BURSTON¿Two boldly transgressive poetic voices¿¿MARISA CARNESKY
