All Down Darkness Wide

Here is a luminous and haunting memoir from the prize-winning poet - a story of love heartbreak and coming of age and a fearless exploration of queer identity and trauma. When Seán meets Elias the two fall headlong into a love story. But as Elias struggles with severe depression the couple comes face-to-face with crisis. Wrestling with this Seán Hewitt delves deep into his own history enlisting the ghosts of queer figures and poets before him. From a nineteenth-century cemetery in Liverpool to the pine forests of Gothenburg Hewitt plumbs the darkness in search of solace and hope.
