‘This is an enthralling debut collection of playful yet elegant and lithe poetry. The voice is skilfully woven with wisdoms of experience, first insights and deep reflection, while the subject is composed of gendered world-gestures, animal archetypes, injuries and transformations. We are so close to her, she disappears, returns again, reminding us, almost urgently, that each poem is its own kind of knowledge and knows things we never will.’
