(Waterloo, 2010) £11 inc p+p
“The voices, the stories, the detail and the imagery are powerful, superbly-crafted and original.” Bernardine Evaristo
“The poetry is earthy and takes a no-nonsense approach to setting out their journey from community-based god-fearing and pious, through to the complexity, toughness and verging on faithlessness, of modernity.” Anne Stewart in Artemis
“… excellent at capturing social and religious codes of behaviour, with the acuity of Austen or Alice Munro … Host is a tactile and muscular collection, rooted in the complexities and textures of the physical world. Hymas has created fresh and exuberant work that, at its best, captures the awe of being alive.“ Sarah Westcott
