Description

Winner of the Scottish Poetry Book of the Year 2022, Claire Askew's second collection is an investigation into power and its many forms.

This electrifying poetry explores the hold of oppressive systems on individuals, as well as the resilience and strength that can be found within them. The poems also delve into love in all its forms, from infatuations to the bitter end of relationships.

With vivid and accessible language, Askew asks hard questions about our current world and presents a powerful critique of contemporary systems of oppression. A collection that celebrates the lives of those often overlooked, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in poetry that challenges and inspires.
