This new collection of poetry will enchant and provoke, comfort and delight. From the hilarious 'True Pregnancy Tales' to the sobering 'The First Stone', in which the author recounts her small child grappling with the adult concepts of war and revenge, Neale moves between storytelling and quiet reflection with confidence and charm. A sparkling read.
Emma Neale's first novel Night Swimming was published in 1998. She won the Todd New Writers' Bursary in 2000 and has published five novels and a collection of poetry, as well as being represented in numerous collaborative projects and anthologies.
