Love Minus Love

Wayne Holloway-Smith's second collection Love Minus Love is an innovative book-length sequence which Max Porter calls "unforgettably brilliant" and Fiona Benson calls "exciting, excoriating, gorgeous, appalling, and eye-wateringly honest". His poem 'the posh mums are boxing in the square' - included in Love Minus Love - won first prize in the Poetry Society's 2018 National Poetry Competition. Love Minus Love is a Poetry Book Society Wild Card Choice. His debut collection Alarum was shortlisted for the Seamus Heaney Centre for Poetry Prize and the Roehampton Poetry Prize as well as being a Poetry Book Society Wild Card Choice, and was longlisted for the Michael Murphy Memorial Prize. His new book has cover quotes by two of Britain's coolest young writers, Max Porter and Fiona Benson. He co-edits the influential online journal Poems in Which.
