      <image:title>WRITING - Have This Heart</image:title>
      <image:caption>From acclaimed author Lawrence Patchett, Have This Heart (2026) is a compulsively readable story collection about people who are striving for more. For connection, for humour, for a way back into the world.  This is fiction about men at work and what happens when your life doesn’t let you hide. Every story is tightly coiled, rich with rough talk and fear-sweat and tenderness. Cover design: Todd Atticus. Cover Illustration: Euan McLeod. Reviews 'Ten new stories, every one of them a winner . . . They are stories full of heart . . . They're fantastically compelling.' Harry Ricketts on Nine to Noon, RNZ ‘Disarmingly natural on first encounter, these are finely judged stories, packed with interior life and a precise sense of character and setting.’ Sam Finnemore, The Listener ‘Patchett is a precise and steady writer and each story feels well cared for, perfectly shaped and honed.’ Claire Mabey, The Spinoff</image:caption>
