Willow Hammer is a consummate lyric of the aftermath. In his fifth book, Patrick Donnelly has his face pressed against the eyepiece as he looks unsparingly at the past, generating a sequence of poems that fans out kaleidoscopically upon learning, twenty years afterward, that his stepfather assaulted his sister. In response to this crime, Donnelly traces the consequences of ignorance, denial, bargaining, complicity, and finally revelation that reverberated through his and his loved ones' lives for five decades. His discovery of this catalyzing violation not only recontextualizes the siblings' shared history, but inflects the present as--finding analogues of his sister's abuse in the classical canon--he remembers his escape from home into spiritual disciplines and the study of dead languages. Revisiting the evolution of his own sexuality, he remembers singing a Byrd Mass after a night at a gay bathhouse, characterizing the tenor and bass as "two wrestling saints," "lowest of the four voices-- / once I thought I saw them kiss each other's faces." And that--recovering glimpses of his sister's unknowable interiority, reckoning with a truth that is unbearable and inescapable--is this book's difficult and endless work. In the wake of a particular kind of harm, Willow Hammer seems to suggest, justice may be a wishful concept--but that doesn't preclude testimony and salvage. "Now" documents the poet's arrival at this compromise: "I remember my / little sister that was, / little willow of glass / upon whom he laid / his hammer hands." There is no revocation of the hands, but with tenderness, wit, and fury, Donnelly's lyrics refuse to let their shadow obscure his sister's recovery of her own agency.

Legalised Robbery: How Insolvency Practitioners Stole Britain's Future is a no-holds-barred expos of the UK's broken insolvency system and a rallying cry for change. Drawing on my decade of experience advising over 1,000 businesses and witnessing the devastation wreaked by a profit-driven industry, this book reveals how insolvency practitioners (IPs) have turned what should be a safety net for struggling businesses into a predatory money-making machine. I take you inside the dark heart of the system, where directors are misled, creditors are short-changed, and IPs profit from dismantling companies that could have been saved. With their aggressive tactics, bloated fees, and unchecked power, IPs not only destroy businesses but also crush the spirit of entrepreneurship, leaving the UK weaker, less innovative, and economically stagnant. Through personal stories, shocking case studies, and deep dives into the history and mechanics of insolvency law, I expose how IPs have exploited legislative loopholes and built an ecosystem of accountants, lawyers, and policymakers that feeds their greed. But this book isn't just about uncovering the problem-it's about fighting back. I offer practical advice for directors, highlight alternatives to formal insolvency, and call for bold reforms to create a fairer, more supportive system. This book is for every entrepreneur who has been vilified for daring to take risks, every family impacted by unnecessary insolvency, and every reader who believes in the power of British business. It's time to reclaim the future from the hands of a broken industry. Join me in challenging the biggest criminals of all.
