The Other Woman, Sophia Blackwell¿s third poetry collection, takes the reader from below-stairs blues bars and gay clubs, through Brighton, Edinburgh, Paris and outer space. The poems explore the histories that lovers bring with them and the migrations and crossings that have brought them to a new country of marriage, mortgages and finding a home. Moving in a dizzying dance from poems about girls in chain coffee shops and the sex lives of London foxes to hospital vaults, life-drawing classes, the altar and the confessional, these poems shine a fierce light into hidden corners of the world and the furthest reaches of the heart.
