“In ‘Peer Gynt’ Henrik Ibsen wrote ‘To live is to war with trolls in the vaults of heart and soul. To write is to sit in judgement of oneself.’ I have found that, in order for life to have any meaning, both sides of that prescription must be thoroughly fulfilled. This book is the result of my own battle with the trolls, and the years of careful self-analysis which came after. My fight took place in the antiseptic halls and silage-scented barn of a South Carolina orphanage. Clarity came much later, once that story was focused through the crystal lens of form. Another great writer, Margaret Atwood, said that in order to become a writer a child must be given 'solitude and books'. Loneliness, isolation, and imaginative food are required for the creation of an inner world that is strong enough to draw from. In many ways, this collection is the record of the space where mine grew.” Bethany W. Pope
The herons have departed, leaving behind mangrove-tea waters, silt, the faint tang of salt... All that remains are the people, fewer of them every summer, clouds of mosquitoes. Edwardian Florida. The swamplands of Tampa provide a tough but good living for those men hardy enough to brave the weather and the wildness. When illness sweeps the area and the local minister dies, his widow Rose succumbs to madness. His daughter Joy struggles to keep them both alive in what has become a skeleton town, rotting into the swamp and abandoned by all but the most ruthless. The arrival of the Johnson family – cruel, greedy, cunning – signals the end of innocence for Joy. She must learn new ways of survival to keep herself and her mother safe. Rich with visceral imagery, The Hungry and the Lost pits the worlds of myth and tradition against the rational grip of progress and modernity.
a richly gothic retelling of Gaston Leroux's phantom of the opera story by debut novelist Bethany W Pope. Centre stage is would-be opera singer Christine, who, despite being devoted to her art, attracts the attention of both the Phantom, and rich theatre owner Raoul. The resulting mix of love, rage, art and murderous intent, is explosive.
A split poetry book between the poets Bethany W. Pope and Paul Tristram. All proceeds from this book will be given to a homeless charity in mainland Britain.

Crown of Thorns is conceived as a total poem. The intricate patterning of the sequences releases a vortex of sonnets, which are by turns visceral, creaturely, fluid, heart-wrung, wild, true and ruthless. Taken together they create a complex, patterned magic - a swarm of language and sound gathered in with immense skill by Bethany Pope. This is a book of intense and impressive movement and momentum.
