The Broken Harmonica is the compelling saga of Cornelius Wright as told in his own words; from his earliest years to his coming of age on a plantation in the old South; to his journey to freedom. Through nearly 100 years of his life Cornelius tells the dramatic tale of his time spent as a soldier in the Civil War, forging a path toward the freedom that he holds so deeply in his heart. Corneliuss personal struggles transform him even after the freedom comes and he must continue the fight to find a way for himself and his family in the complex and divided world of the late eighteenth, early twentieth century America. In the midst of it all is a harmonica that becomes symbolic of his life, his trials and his legacy.

A Poetry Book Society Choice An Arbitrary Light Bulb is Ian Duhig’s most personal collection of poems to date. It takes its title from the most common type of household bulb – yet one whose name is virtually unknown, like many people these poems celebrate. Duhig finds in the arbitrary an image for the randomness of inspiration and of life, haunted here by deaths of family and friends. He laments the lost but also responds to the glories of our existence, especially among the overlooked, with humour, technical variety and contagious pleasure. Starting out from ‘contrary Leeds’, his home for half a century, Duhig’s poems roam widely through history, art-forms, loves and injustices, fired by the desire to share it all with his readers: knowledge, joy, anger and wonder. 'The most original poet of his generation' Carol Ann Duffy, Guardian
