<i><b>swoon</b></i><br/><b><i>/swu n/</i></b><br/><b><i><br/>verb<br/><br/>1. faint, especially from extreme emotion. 'The girl swooned and had to lie down'<br/>2. be overcome with adoration, or other strong emotion. 'She was swooning over Him'<br/></i><i><br/>Etymology traces to the Old English word 'geswogen', meaning 'overcome'</i><br/><br/></b>On the eve of her wedding, a young woman wrestles with transitions: from adolescence to adulthood, from longing to holding, from womb to birth, from life to death, from darkness to enlightenment, from waking to dreaming, from love to grief.<br/><br/><i>There is only one choice: death or change.</i><br/><br/>In 2023 Imogen Wade won the National Poetry Prize with her poem 'The Time I Was Mugged in New York City', gaining her a wide audience. Her stunning debut , <i>Girl, Swooning</i>, is a startlingly fresh collection about womanhood, love, death and religious experience.<br/><br/>Distinctive, beguiling and compelling from the start, <i>Girl, Swooning</i> marks the emergence of a thrilling new voice.

<i>She's sleeping like a fairy tale girl, before the story</i><br/> <i>teaches girls like her a lesson.</i><br/><br/> In <i>The House of Broken Things</i>, motherhood is a spell, a terrible power, an intelligence, and transformative in all its complexity and ambivalence. These poems move like myth, invoking the ghosts of The House of Broken Things, where <i>'Broken mothers and damaged fathers / slept the sleep of those who do not / have time to think, and fractured children / dreamt the things you might expect / that fractured children dream.'</i><br/><br/> Moore's unflinching collection is an astonishing portrait of a mother. Her body as tender, contested territory. Her instincts fierce. Her mind alive with memories of her own childhood, marvelled by love for her young daughter, sharpened with foreboding for her safety in a broken world that has so often made to break her, too. There are truths our daughters must know, and there are burdens we must never pass on. To make them strong, must we also teach them to be afraid?<br/><br/> Calling the spirits of Anne Sexton, Emily Bronte, Adrienne Rich and others, she conjures an intimate atmosphere of haunted domesticity, the poems questioning and incantatory as a lullaby whispered to a cradled baby. Throughout, fears, griefs and anxieties are paired with moments of great tenderness, wit and revelation: brokenness can feel like a trap, but these poems always offer a way out.<br/><br/> <i>The House of Broken Things</i> is a thrilling new work from one of our boldest and most exciting poets.

<b>*</b><b>The brand new poetry collection from the internationally bestselling poet and TikTok phenomenon, Whitney Hanson*</b><br/><br/><i>the love of my life</i> is a poetry collection that traces the process of rediscovering a love for life after change, disconnection, and personal upheaval.
