Reviews
`Some of Sophia Blackwell's poems read like Nico should be singing them to John Cale's viola, some as if Shakespeare's slut sister taught him all he knew, others are as new as the next dawn. Dirty, juicy, knowing, open - works for me.' Stella Duffy; `As soon as I fi nished this raw, addictive, affectionate poetry collection, I went back to the start and read it all again.' Kirsty Logan on The Fire Eater's Lover
