      Jeremy Dixon’s debut poetry collection A VOICE COMING FROM THEN won the Wales Book of the Year Poetry Award 2022. It is a compelling and deeply moving meditation on queer identity, community, loss and, above all, survival. At the core of this meticulously-worked book is a personal experience which opens a door to wider conversations about acceptance and protection. These poems are deftly written, sharp with detail and incident, humming melodies and casting their eye across dance floors, voyaging to Australia and singing the intimacy of crowded lifts. A Voice Coming From Then asks us to listen now – this collection is a rallying cry not just for inclusion but for love, in so many forms. The book also included graphic elements such as statistics, photographic collages and Letterpress pages.Also available as an eBook and Audiobook.

      It's 1942. The Nazi war machine appears invincible. Britain is struggling against mounting odds. In the sky over Wiltshire an unmarked light aircraft is struggling to return to base, but it has no connection with the intelligence operations which are engaged locally in apprehending a Nazi spy, or with Britain's secret underground army, ready to resist any German invasion. And yet, in this rural corner of the English countryside, a sequence of events takes place on which Britain's very survival could depend. Against the backdrop of preparations for an allied invasion of occupied Europe and covert operations behind enemy lines, a small village is about to be the unlikely setting for Operation Wansdyke and the fight for the recovery of intelligence which could impact on the country's security and possibly on the outcome of the war itself.
