Biceps

Biceps is a love story, following a relationship from first sparks one frosty bonfire night through day trips to windy Hull and into the stalemate of dysfunctional domesticity. It’s a story about the physical and emotional tidying we go through when we fall out of love. It’s a story that explores the small ways we learn to understand ourselves better as a result of our relationships and gain the strength to start rebuilding in the face of personal loss.

Laurie Eaves' debut poetry collection, Biceps includes 44 poems and is out on Burning Eye Books.

"Laurie's debut collection is full of heart. His poems deal with themes of love and loss with so much care. This collection celebrates life's little details and what it is to be human. I could read it again and again." - Laurie Bolger

“Biceps is a poetry concept album. Each piece is a cog, moving and powering the rest. One everyday item or image at a time, Laurie's lean writing propels readers through the big themes of love, loss and rebuilding. Reading this collection I got envious, then inspired.” - Hannah Chutzpah

"Heartbreaking and heartwarming." - Caroline Teague
