Cafés

Holly Pester

• The highly anticipated second poetry book by one of the UK’s most innovative poets, following the Forward Prize shortlisted Comic Timing.

• A utopian, stylish and completely unique anti-epic long poem that moves through the history of the café space, exploring workers’ rights, foodie culture, the importance of the third space and bohemian and artistic histories.

• A contribution to the growing body of contemporary literature around food and restaurant culture, for readers of Vittles, Ruby Tandoh, Rebecca May Johnson, and readers of caffs not cafes
