• Previous collection The Air Year won the Forward Prize for Best Collection 2020 and was shortlisted for the Polari Prize and the Costa Prize. • Rookie: Selected Poems (2022) was longlisted for the Polari Book Prize 2023. • This new collection charts marriage, lesbian parenthood, addiction and recovery: the ambush of real life that occurs in the stillness, after the happy ending • Darkly humorous, complex, often-ugly poems about parenting and the complexities of lesbian blended families • The clash of domesticity and horror, absurdity and heartfelt confession, told with her usual comic and entertaining style: a world where mums impale themselves on pogo-sticks, serial killers rattle around in the basement, and baby monitors are haunted by someone else’s baby
