JE Rowney Books in Order

When Anna Macbeth gets tragic news from the Yorkshire village she once escaped, she is forced to go back. Her return drags old secrets into the light and shows how one bad choice can keep shaping lives for years.

This collection gathers Rowney’s haiku, presenting poems through the brief form suggested by its title. Concise verse gives readers a different side of the novelist’s writing, inviting close attention to how a few words can carry a poem.

Poems inspired by suggestions from Twitter users explore the details of modern life, from coffee shops and cats to smartphones and antisocial behavior. The collection draws ordinary interests and frustrations into a varied portrait of contemporary experience.

Poems examine love through first dates, passion, unanswered feelings, and divorce. Often skeptical rather than conventionally romantic, the collection considers the heart’s shifting responses, tracing the hopes and disappointments that accompany relationships in their many forms.
