Longlisted for the ReLit Award (2005)

Honeymoon in Berlin examines the extremes of human desire, and investigates the human fascination with limits, the line between courage and fear, life and death.

Praise for Honeymoon in Berlin:

"A book of bold contrasts, Honeymoon in Berlin is simultaneously beautiful and ugly, alluring and repulsive. It's an achievement. It's art." (Front & Centre)

"An utterly fearless riff on a very dark vision. Honeymoon in Berlin is all high wire and no net. I liked it, felt guilty, then liked it more." (Michael Dennis, author of This Day Full of Promise and Fade to Blue)

"In Honeymoon in Berlin, Walmsley evokes a twilight world where men and women furtively tap away at keyboards, trying to connect with each other, but also with their own deepest impulses. A tense, disturbing sequence of poems, this pared-down masterpiece is packed with the stuff of a full-length novel: it is about death and shit and love and hope." (Stuart Ross)
