KNOW THY AUDIENCE: /

Menace turned inside out! 'When I die I want to come back as a piercing sound / In the ear of every rapist'. Here is the poetry without the hero, a blanket leaving you colder somehow, but you know this book is brilliant, and you know you will live with these poems for the rest of your life once you have read them. I am a huge fan of Nadia de Vries, a poet wrangling suffering bodies on the map of a world we like to think we know, offering us no easy answers.
