Victoria Kennefick's daring first collection, Eat or We Both Starve, introduces readers to seemingly recognizable situations - the family home, the communal meal, rituals of historical incidents, desire - but Kennefick transforms this material into new forms, making it viable again to explore what it means to live with the past - rather than be consumed by it.
Rebecca Goss writes: "Victoria Kennefick writes with a fresh urgency, offering us poems that are honest and fearless. She has said: 'Poetry has saved my life, has made my life. Reading and writing it have taught me courage and discipline.' Kennefick is not afraid to explore grief, sex, and the female body in her poetry. She writes with a physical originality. Her poems are rich in bodily sensations. She manages to find beauty in grand themes like grief and desire, offering us the most refined, most subversive details. Her identity as a young Irish woman is very important to her, something she explores with spirituality and honesty. I've always felt that there's nothing Victoria can't approach. The extent of her work is remarkable."
