like fragile clay

Set in a version of Tove Jansson's Moominvalley, Sarah Cave’s like fragile clay is a meditation on grief and confession.

Sarah Cave has published two collections, An Arbitrary Line (Broken Sleep Books) and Perseverance Valley (Knives, Forks and Spoons Press) and a co-authored collection, A Confusion of Mary (Shearsman Books) and four pamphlets. She currently lives in Cornwall, where she is working towards her third collection, a non-fiction title and her first novel.

The Guillemot Offcuts series presents out of print work from some of our illustrated limited edition titles in a text-only format using paper offcuts left over from some of our other productions. This means you might see this title dressed in a range of different cover stocks. Not only does this series reduce paper waste but it also allows the poetry to remain visible in an affordable pamphlet edition. Note: The picture to the left does NOT reflect the actual colour of the title. The cover colour will vary depending on the stocks and offcuts are available at the time of printing.

like fragile clay was originally published by Guillemot Press in 2018 in an illustrated limited edition designed by CF Sherratt.
