Description

'Autumn Royal is unafraid to spark light in the darkest of places. The poems in this impressive debut collection illuminate the uneasy space of the body, the tomb of emotional memory, the ugliness of misogyny, the abyss of consumerism and the violent desire for communion. As announced by the eponymous and final poem, this collection ultimately represents the exciting awakening and rise of a new poet.' Maria Takolander
