News & Events

‘In celebration of the work and life of the extraordinary woman that was Julia Darling’, Mayfly Press is producing a commemorative edition of her novel Crocodile Soup.  It’s got a lovely new cover but is still the great story it always was about Gert Hardcastle, her eccentric upbringing, and her courtship of the ballroom dancer Eva. If you haven’t read it yet you’re in for a treat. If you have, then now’s the time to read it again, it’s a fabulous tale.

This commemorative edition brings together her two full collections, Sudden Collapses in Public Places and Apology for Absence. It also includes a substantial selection of previously unpublished poems, along with early work from her days with the Poetry Virgins. Edited by Bev Robinson, with an introduction by Jackie Kay, Indelible, Miraculous will be available from Arc Publications from the end of May.
