The Man Has Arrived!

The poetic record of one woman's love affair with a city

We are pleased to announce the publication of The Man in the Photograph, Noelia Ramon's debut collection of poetry, prose and photography.

In this beautifully produced book, a city unfolds in glimpses. Strangers drift past, their stories unspoken yet deeply known. Moments flicker. Some vanish, others stay. Rich with Noelia’s unmistakable voice—her way of walking, seeing and wondering—this is more than a book to read. It’s a book to feel, to slow down with, to live inside for a while. It is a love song to the ordinary, and as our managing editor Mark Tredinnick has said, “this may be a book to reawaken love for lyric poetry.”

Don't take Mark's word for it: see for yourself. Here is Noelia reciting “The Tears We Don’t Cry”, one of the many delightful poems from this beautiful book.
