Georgie Jesson’s debut collection explores the changing ways we process grief and love, through memory and our shared lived experiences. These are conversational and confessional poems; from the heart, about the effects of life on the heart.
‘Grief remembered, reassembled, made beautiful by a genuine poetic talent. Sad and amazing.’ -
