Description

Sunshine is a powerful collection of poems from Melissa Lee-Houghton, exploring the complexities of human experience in austerity Britain. With acute social observation and a dark, surreal humour, Lee-Houghton shines a light on themes of abuse, addiction, mental health, and the search for hope and desire. This new book of poems offers a unique perspective on the human condition, one that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. With precision and nuance, Lee-Houghton navigates the extremes of ecstasy and sadness, creating a work that is both unflinchingly honest and profoundly moving. Featuring 'i am very precious', a poem shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best Single Poem 2016, Sunshine is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in poetry that tackles the tough issues with courage and sensitivity.
