Description
Angela Cleland's third collection, Real Cute Danger, offers a unique perspective on the experience of giving birth and becoming a parent through the lens of horror and science fiction. Poems like 'I'm in Costa with the other new mums again' use vivid comparisons to strip away the façade of everyday life, revealing the raw reality of human existence. Cleland's work is marked by its unflinching beauty and wildness as she tackles the hysteria surrounding the female body in childbirth. Through her poetry, Cleland claws away at societal norms, exposing the complexities of motherhood with a fierce and extravagant honesty that is both unsettling and beautiful.
