Description
This haunting, Dorset Prize-winning poetry collection moves between the familiar landscapes of suburbia and the uncanny depths of the forest, where myth, memory, and danger intertwine. Drawing on fairy tales, folk wisdom, and the darker impulses of domestic life, the poems explore transformation, parenthood, innocence, violence, desire, and the fragile boundary between human and animal. With language that is lyrical, inventive, and unsettling, the collection finds the fantastical in everyday objects and the sinister beneath ordinary relationships. The result is an atmospheric and captivating book filled with dread, wonder, beauty, and rapture.
