A luminous memoir from the prize-winning poet - a story of love, heartbreak and coming of age, and a tender exploration of queer identity. 'Beautiful' Colm Tóibín'Rapturous' New York Times'Extraordinary' Observer'Stunning' Sunday TimesWhen Seán meets Elias, the two fall headlong into a love story.

But as Elias struggles with severe depression, the couple comes face to face with crisis. Wrestling with this, Seán Hewitt delves deep into his own history, enlisting the ghosts of queer figures and poets before him.

From a nineteenth-century cemetery in Liverpool to the pine forests of Gothenburg, Hewitt plumbs the darkness in search of solace and hope.
