From the poet who penned MAKEOVER and SPIN.
Lady, the new collection of poems by Laurie Bolger, plays with the arc of a chick flick. Whilst trying to be the most honest version of themselves the poems play the parts of housewife, fitness instructor, landlady, hen, sister, mother, boxer or drunk. The poems get stuck on the ideal of small girl in a big dress when perhaps we are wild, dreaming big and taking it all in.

“Dazzling, moving, witty and insightful poems which look at the world with an oft-surreal eye, and show the lives, the truths, the people, who might ordinarily be overlooked”
-- Andrew McMillan“Intimate, warm, and with teeth clenching wit, Bolger turns the domestic into an epic. Her leaps of surreality are breathtaking, unexpected and painful. Moving, tender and always curious Lady is a book that will hold your hand in the supermarket."
