grown girl by Eleni Brooks
V. Press
The essence that makes grown girl stand out can't be distilled down to just one thing. Here, a confident voice, striking lines, unusual images and light touch all work together to create an interesting and insightful read. More than that though, this pamphlet is very relatable, very re-readable and casts both familiar and unfamiliar experiences in a new light.� Sarah Leavesley, V. Press Prize judge Eleni is clever, subtly witty and honest to no fault. When poetry is this relatable, it reminds you how sharing your experiences can make another feel understood; although it's shared and not the same, it makes you feel like you're there again, but this time you're not alone. Very powerful poetry.� Jemima Hughes Grown girl is very raw and very hopeful. Winner of the V. Press Prize for Poetry 2025-26
