I’m pleased to say that the 15th Book of the Week in our meandering journey through the (admittedly not very historic) annals of Hedgehoggy History, brings us to a wow of a collection like nothing else. Karen Dennison’s The Paper House is quite simply put perfect and was a collection I genuinely couldn’t believe I was getting to publish.
It is as simple as that.
Karen Dennison’s The Paper House is a stunning collection from one of Britain’s finest new voices.
Karen Dennison’s first collection Counting Rain was published by Indigo Dreams in 2012. Karen is editor, designer and publisher of Book of Sand, Blueshift and Free-fall, a series of pamphlets featuring the work of artists and poets. She co-edits and designs for Against the Grain Poetry Press.
