By Kathryn Rossati

Roar/Raw is a powerful, deeply honest collection of poetry exploring life as an AuDHD woman navigating a world that rarely makes room for difference.

Written with a voice that is sharp, sensory-rich, and unapologetically real, Kathryn Rossati captures the intensity of overstimulation, the exhaustion of social interaction, the weight of memory, and the complexity of identity. These poems do not soften their edges. They tell the truth.

From the quiet vulnerability of A Letter About Being Neurodivergent to My Childhood Self to the raw emotional surge of Roar, this collection moves between overwhelm and joy, shutdown and self-expression, anger and acceptance. Poems such as After a Meeting, Hum, Meltdown, and Flap Happy offer vivid glimpses into the lived experience of neurodivergence, written with clarity, care, and fierce authenticity.

There is a strength running through these pages. A refusal to shrink. A reclaiming of voice.

Kathryn Rossati is a poet and novelist based on the Isle of Wight. As an AuDHD writer living with chronic pain, her work is shaped by lived experience and a deep commitment to honesty on the page. Her writing invites readers not only to understand but to feel.

At Lemon Jelly Press, we believe in publishing work that reflects the full spectrum of human experience. Roar/Raw is part of that commitment. A collection that speaks from the edges and creates space for others to feel seen.

Sometimes feelings get tangled. Sometimes they feel heavy. Sometimes they are just plain hard to explain.

I Feel Like Old Spaghetti is a powerful picture book that helps children explore and talk about big emotions such as grief, anxiety, sadness, and the sense of being left out or alone. With vivid illustrations and language children instantly understand, author Justine M. Bean captures what it’s like to feel messy and overwhelmed — like a plate of old spaghetti.

More than a story of struggle, this book is about hope. It gently reassures young readers that emotions can be shared, that help is always worth reaching for, and that they are never truly alone.

Perfect for families, teachers, and anyone supporting children, I Feel Like Old Spaghetti opens the door to conversations about mental health and provides comfort through connection and understanding.

A moment of stillness. A breath of moonlight. A story to be read slowly.

Moon is a lyrical, meditative short story by multidisciplinary artist and writer Rachel Tribble. Winner of our monthly Flash Fiction competition, this powerful micro booklet invites you into a quiet, otherworldly moment, where the sky glows, the sea listens, and time seems to hold its breath.

Designed as a mindfulness reading experience, Moon is best read a line at a time, a slow breath per page. It’s a small book with big presence, perfect for pockets, calm corners, and anyone in need of a gentle pause.

By N. J. Simat

This intimate prose poem by N. J. Simat explores the quiet tension between instinct and compassion, cruelty and mercy. When a goose, a snake, and a human cross paths, their brief encounter becomes a lens through which the narrator examines the cost of kindness—and the contradictions we carry.

Told with lyrical precision and philosophical weight, Mother Goose and Her Kind Beast is a small but powerful meditation on moral reckoning, emotional inheritance, and the choices we make when no one is watching.

Perfect for readers of hybrid work, flash fiction, and experimental poetry.

By Daphne Harries

Three Strikes is a lyrical and haunting micro-booklet by Welsh and Australian poet Daphne Harries. Rooted in matriarchal memory, folklore and the emotional landscapes of mountains and water, this collection of three interconnected poems circles the Welsh folktale of Llyn y Fan Fach.

Each poem reflects a different echo of the myth: the strike of separation, the strike of memory and the strike of return. Together, they form a quiet braid of longing, inheritance and reclamation, exploring what we carry in our bodies, what we lose through distance and silence, and what the land remembers even when we forget.

Daphne’s voice feels both ancient and sharply contemporary. In these poems she revisits the mother at the lake’s edge, the pull of home that lives in the body, and the intimate relationships between language, identity and place. Lines linger long after reading, moving through folklore, family and the blurred spaces between what is inherited and what is reclaimed.

Daphne Harries is a Welsh and Australian poet currently studying English at Oxford. Her work often dwells on matriarchs, mountains and bogs, shaped by myth, land and memory. When she is not writing, she enjoys tea, fantasy literature and naps.

Three Strikes is part of the Lemon Pip micro-booklet series from Lemon Jelly Press.

By Heidi Hinda Chadwick

An enchanting tale where Manchester’s familiar streets tilt toward the uncanny. The Story of the Deer Woman is a strange, sensual and fiercely imaginative novella from writer and performer Heidi Hinda Chadwick.

After a chance encounter inside the Manchester Museum, an ordinary woman finds her life beginning to unravel in wild and impossible ways. Reality blurs. Desire stirs. Antlers bloom. What follows is a journey into metamorphosis, myth and the hidden animal inside us all.

Chadwick’s writing is vivid, lyrical and daring. Influenced by the unsettling brilliance of Mona Awad, Bora Chung, Sayaka Murata and Ottessa Moshfegh, she creates a world where the macabre meets the human, where power and eros live at the edges, and where the strange becomes a kind of truth.

This is the first adult fiction title from Lemon Jelly Press, chosen for its bold heart and its commitment to amplifying unheard and marginalised voices. A story that is unsettling, beautiful and unforgettable.
