*SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2022 FORWARD PRIZE FOR BEST COLLECTION*
'A raw, tender, potent collection' - JESSICA ANDREWS
'Gorgeous poems - profound, exploratory, wild, playful - and completely now' - RUTH PADEL
The exceptional new collection by poet Helen Mort, shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot and Costa awards.
Let me kneel before the sky and be humble, messy, adorned. Here are the women's bodies. Hungry teenage bodies, changing pregnant bodies, frail elderly bodies. Here are bodies as products that are digitized and consumed. Here is the body in nature, changing and becoming stronger. Here are the tattooed women throughout history, with ink unfolding on their skin.
'Illustrated Woman' is a tender and insightful collection about what it means to live in a woman's body - from the joys and struggles of new motherhood to the trauma of deepfakes. Within the landscapes of the Peak District and the glaciers of Greenland, Helen Mort's remarkable poems enchant the reader in a celebration of beauty and resilience.
'These are poems that will leave an indelible mark' - ANDREW MCMILLAN
