The Path of Most Resistance

Poems on Women in Science

by Jessy Randall
MIT Press / Goldsmiths Press
Paperback

Women have always worked in technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine. Sometimes they made important discoveries and breakthroughs; sometimes they simply managed to exist and persist despite endless obstacles and a criminal lack of acknowledgment. Carefully researched, thoughtful, pitch perfect and precise, these poems about historical women scientists are hilarious and heart-breaking at the same time.

The Headland

by Abi Curtis
MIT Press / Goldsmiths Press
Paperback, 248 pp.

A dual narrative set in Dungeness in the aftermath of the great storm of 1987 and the not-far future. Dolores develops an intimate emotional relationship with a creature she finds washed up in a piece of driftwood. Decades later Morgan tries to unravel the mysteries of his mother’s past, but to do so he must come to terms with his own origins. The Headland challenges ideas about love and grief, parenthood and belonging, and the very fabric of time.

The book cover evokes a unique sense of place, the weight of grief, the strike of a sudden life-changing event and the bonds of parenthood.

The Eyebrows of Doom

by Steve Smallman / Little Tiger
illustrated by Miguel Ordóñez
Hardback, 32pp.
Published in the US March 1, 2022.

This ridiculous, whacky, rhyming text is paired with deadpan illustrations. The frenetic hand-drawn energy of the mischief-making eyebrows creates a fun contrast with the ultra clean and cool characters.

Octopants: The Missing Pirate Pants

by Suzy Senior / Little Tiger
illustrated by Claire Powell
Hardback, 32pp.

Octopants The Missing Pirate Pants is the silly and sweet follow-up to the Book Trust’s Bookstart Treasure book Octopants.

Now that Octopants has found his unique style, he is on a mission to help Pufferfish find his favourite pirate underpants — that have gone mysteriously missing. Another great twist ending!

Working with illustrator Claire Powell from initial thumbnails to completed colour artwork was a dream.

On the Origin of the Thesis

On the Origin of the Thesis

Speculative Book Cover

Inspired by a visit to the famed scientist’s home laboratory — his greenhouse in Downe, England — I created this portrait and book cover to explore the story behind Charles Darwin’s humble home tinkering and how it continues to influence our understanding of the natural world today.
