We can’t wait for you to read this book! To get a taste of the collection, read ‘We Become Witches’, originally published in Banshee issue #6 – or check out what other brilliant writers have been saying:
“Taylor’s language, form and imagery exhibit a remarkable freshness, resulting in work that manages to create a space between the uncanny and the familiar. Her sexuality and her feminism are carried candidly and address universals through the specifics of queer love and the experiences of women through history. This is the Irish lyric tradition queered in the manifold and finest meanings of that word. Taylor’s is a poetry I do not want to be without. We are all the richer for it.”
“Rosamund Taylor’s stunning debut reignites the lyric tradition with poems that movingly and daringly explore pain and despair, desire and belonging while evoking the more-than-human world anew. Her voice is ever original and ever beautiful.”
“In Her Jaws is by turns delicate and fierce; holding the reader gently in its muzzle, where we thrill to the awareness of teeth against our carotid. Taylor inhabits the natural world like no other writer working today; shapeshifting, questioning, and enthralling us with her curiosity.”
“A book of astonishments whose poems gaze towards the night sky and all that stirs in the dark below, swooping the reader through mysteries of desire and discovery. Taylor’s voice is by turns tender, sharp, luminous; her poems are wondrous.”
“The reader travels wild paths in skilled hands. Taylor’s voice is evocative, assured and unforgettable. This is absolutely exquisite.”
