Returning to the body throughout, her quick imagination moves through bleak, unnerving territory with a lightness of touch, reshaping the world, a toad eating a family house, ‘his tongue under the walls’. This is sharply observed, stirring writing.” John McCullough\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Such a dark, magnificent creation. I devoured the poems. Strident, compelling dispatches from the underworld, meticulously crafted. These poems will get under your skin, go straight for the heart.” Helen Mort\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSome Dark God is very sacred and very profane.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"V.
