New from Eddie Paterson and Whitmore Press comes ‘kisshug’, the sequel to Eddie’s widely praised 2017 collection ‘redactor’.

Farmed, extracted and then uniquely coded (with many a redaction), ‘kisshug’ continues Paterson’s poetic project. Operating in an opaque market in which assets are distorted, relationships confused and memorandums rule, these works search for the beating heart in the post-truth emoji.

Huge thanks to Deirdre Carmichael for another stunning cover design.

Join us for the Beechworth launch with readings by Eddie, and music from Lara Stevens.
