Longlisted for the Laurel Prize 2022.
Shortlisted for the Ledbury Hellens Poetry Prize for Second Collections 2023.
'Have you looked / have you looked deeply?' ask these poems, rooted in the human body and its movement through an interconnected living world.
Bloom, Sarah Westcott's second collection, approaches the cultural and physical spaces where human and non-human lives co-exist. These poems are attuned to a tender, bleeding world in which 'all flesh is grass' and language is matter. These are poems of resistance: attentive to non-human life, 'eternal and plaintive ... counter-balanced, strange.'
Here are field flowers, walled gardens and lost species, the particularities of 'undistinguished things ... seeds, waterbuts, palpable concerns'. Exploring sacrifice and loss, these poems push at the boundaries where girlhood and flower might bleed. These poems are a hymn to being alive in the twenty-first century - the frailties and vigour of life in all its dazzling form, its 'looped breath, perpetual singing'.
