In store now! Pacemaker by David Toms

In Pacemaker, acclaimed poet David Toms confronts what it means to live life while always walking in tandem with a rare heart condition.

In this reflective hybrid memoir, he invites us into the most intimate of struggles; to be keenly aware, with every step, that one day your heart may give out. He climbs mountains for leisure and in his personal life; explores heartbreak both metaphorical and literal; and takes us on journeys both real and imagined.

We are open:

We are back open six days a week, with the whole store open for browsing. We will still of course be taking customer orders and you will still be able to buy food and cleaning products online through our online store. 

We are able to be open 6 days a week again because of your consideration and care whilst in the shop. Though things are opening up, covid cases are still high and a lot of our staff have only received one jab. So we are asking customers to continue to leave that extra space, sanitise their hands and pull on their mask. We really appreciate it.
