Amy Acre's poems are electric. They crackle and spark with wild feeling, inventiveness and deep sensuality. Mothers, daughters, lovers, all the thrilling complexity of love and grief that the body must bear; these are poems which set the page aglow and make my heart spin
Expansive and risk-taking
This debut collection from the London-born poet is confident, witty and a little addictive. As the title suggests, these poems explore motherhood and mother loss, in verse that manages to be both playfully frenzied and movingly intimate.
