Adrian Harte's poetry collection is a startling and intense exploration of the poet in his world, with poems of humour, love, violence, trauma. Harte dissects and examines life with honesty and courage and a baffled outrage at the inhumanity of much of the modern world.

Richly evocative, Red Rite Hand is a triumphant first collection, remarkable for the poetic skill of the writer and the control and passion of his work
