Description

Vertigo & Ghost is a powerful and unflinching collection that confronts the darker aspects of human nature. With graphic and stunning poems, Fiona Benson exposes the disturbing reality of violence against women, while also exploring the complexities of depression, family life, and early motherhood.

This book is a necessary and important work, one that speaks out with clarity and bravery against the abuse of power. Through its dynamic verse, it sheds light on the ambivalence and anxieties of modern life, reclaiming the sanctuary of domestic private life and the right to raise children in peace and safety.
