**Selected as a book of the year by the Financial Times and Telegraph**
''An essential read, poignant, powerful and provocative. I love the feeling in Amy Acre''s poems'' Salena Godden
Amy Acre’s debut collection is an unforgettable, unflinching excavation of motherhood, what it means to be a female artist, and what it means to be a poet with a deeply integrated community. This is a timeless work the like of which we haven’t seen enough of in the past, primed to last long into the future.
