NEW RELEASE
Various Magics
Various Magics is a work of tremendous tenderness and subtle power. Vanessa Napolitano writes with a gentle fluidity, giving everyday details their due emotional weight, building legend from ordinary and extraordinary realities of love. 'The year hinges on a pin of light', she tells us, showing us over and over how the small bright things may be our best defence against the darkness - and true to form, this small pamphlet shines very brightly.
- Clare Shaw, author of Flood, Bloodaxe Books
