Everyone knows there's no money in poetry, so for years Laura Connochie wrote poems in secret as a form of therapy and filed them away. This collection is the first time many of those archived poems have seen the light of day.

Divided into six chapters - Directions, Echoes, Bodies, Breakdowns, Heartbeats and Punchlines - the poems span a range of form and content. Structured sonnets and villanelles appear alongside experimental free verse, and the subjects vary as much as you would expect from someone who writes whatever she observes: from a Freudian dream about an ex to buying a dress for a funeral to a love zombie, a vampire and more. If you want to read a poem set in Oxford's Natural History museum or which explains grief using quantum physics; if you want to know if the fridge light stays on when you close the door; if you want to know the best month for your lover to die (spoiler alert: September), then this anthology is for you.

Laura Connochie is originally from Cornwall in the UK and now lives in Stroud in Gloucestershire. Her second collection of poetry called Bread-and-Butter Beings is also available on Amazon and at all good bookshops, along with her spiritual memoir, What the Mushrooms Told Me. You can read more of her poetry on Instagram @amusenut.
