Gut Feeling by Lucy Hurst PRE-ORDER
Published 31st August 2025. Available for pre-order.
Lucy Hurst's Gut Feeling is an unflinching excavation of illness, survival, and the uneasy dialogue between body and mind. Through sharp, intimate lyricism, Hurst maps the intersections of pain, identity, and medicalisation, unravelling the ways language both contains and fails lived experience. Charting the visceral realities of vulnerability and resilience, these poems pulse with a raw, unvarnished clarity-at once forensic and deeply felt. With a voice that refuses simplification, Gut Feeling is a bold testament to the complexities of inhabiting a body at odds with itself.
