Description

A moving collection of poetry about navigating mid-life, full of humour and wit, from acclaimed novelist Farzana Doctor

This debut poetry collection from acclaimed novelist Farzana Doctor is both an intimate deep dive and a humorous glance at the tumultuous decade of her forties. Through crisp and vivid language, Doctor explores mid-life breakups and dating, female genital cutting, imprints of racism and misogyny, and the oddness of sex and love, and urges us to take a second look at the ways in which human relationships are never what we expect them to be.

Editorial Reviews

"These poems are clean, tight, wry, luscious, kvetchy and up-close-to-brown-skin."

Sonnet L'Abbe

In this collection, love, disappointment and possibility collide, at home and unhomed in spare, precise language."
