S. Eliot Prize-shortlisted poet Wayne Holloway-Smith.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e24 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaunting, precise and tender, RABBITBOX heralds a major new work from one of Britain's most exciting writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--‘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 \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56853375615351,"sku":"9781398552425","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/files\/9781398552425.jpg?v=1773155522","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.co.uk\/products\/9781398552425","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
