| Home | Latest newsJuly 2009New books forthcoming from Seraph Press Seraph Press is getting back on the publishing horse this year, and will publish two new collections before Christmas. The first is Watching for Smoke, a debut chapbook by Helen Heath. Helen is a writer and craft-maker from Paekakariki, who blogs at Show your Workings. This short collection gathers poems that explore the different roles we have, especially in our families, such as mother, wife, lover, daughter, sister, and the tensions within and between them. It circles around in time, and makes the domestic mythic. Watching for Smoke will be a limited-edition, hand-bound chapbook. It will be published in September 2009. Also playing with the mythic in the every day is Vana Manasiadis's debut collection Ithaca Island Bay Leaves: A Mysthistorima. Vana is a Wellington writer currently based in Crete. This collection also explores family, in particular the lives of the author's mother and grandmother, their lives in Greece, and her mother's move to New Zealand as a young woman. It weaves their lives with Greek mythology, and people from Greek myth walk out and about in present-day Wellington. Ithaca Island Bay Leaves: A Mysthistorima will be published in November 2009. January 2008The latest issue of the Poetry Society’s magazine, A Fine Line, contains a positive review of Cold Comfort, Cold Concrete: Poems & Satires, by Scott Kendrick. Bernard Gadd says:
