'Powerful... Intense and unforgettable' MAX PORTER
'I'm blown away... An astonishing work' AMY KEY
'Amazing... Truly a feat' RAYMOND ANTROBUS
--
A transfixing, heart-rending work which follows a mother and her young son living under the shadow of an all-consuming domestic threat, by T. S. Eliot Prize-shortlisted poet Wayne Holloway-Smith.
24 Coalbrook Street. The house is trembling with a father's anger. It makes a rabbit of a young boy, sends him burrowing into a wardrobe, and leaves his mother standing hapless and mute over the kitchen sink. In this house, how far can a mother's comfort travel?
From the safety of his hiding place, from the magnitude of his fear, a young girl appears offering a way out. Taking him by the hand, reaching through time, she leads him elsewhere; a mother's love dreaming him away from their reality to the promise - beautiful yet flickering - of a river.
Haunting, precise and tender, RABBITBOX heralds a major new work from one of Britain's most exciting writers.

'It takes a rare poet to make such magic of such brutality, but Holloway-Smith is the rarest kind: tender, curious, vivid, and wild. He bunches language like a fist, one that unravels into shadow butterflies, the idea of escape... RABBITBOX is my book of 2026.' - JOELLE TAYLOR
