Lucy Hurst's Gut Feeling is a fiercely intelligent and formally dynamic collection that interrogates illness, vulnerability, and survival through a visceral, unflinching poetics. Writing from the embodied experience of chronic illness, Hurst dismantles medical and emotional discourse with sharp lyric clarity and experimental control. The poems move between clinical spaces and intimate interiors, balancing detachment and affect, irony and sincerity. What emerges is a poetics of persistence that resists metaphor and easy resolution, asserting complexity in the face of reductive narratives. This is a work of deep acuity-disruptive, grounded, and bracingly alive.
