Creators: Mixed Shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection, Rachel Long's much-anticipated debut collection of poems, 'My Darling from the Lions', announces the arrival of a thrilling new presence in poetry. Each poem has a vivid story to tell - of family quirks, the perils of dating, the grip of religion or sexual awakening - stories that are, by turn, emotionally insightful, politically conscious, wise, funny, and outrageous.
MixedI didn't resonate with this poetry collection that much though I enjoyed the process of reading it. But this is like fairly like friendly poetry I would say does talk a little bit about like sex and relationships but it didn't find it that memorable overall though I did find it enjoyable.
LikedI think this is a really accessible poetry collection for people who haven't read much poetry. I found that I really got on well with it.
What made the match, strongest first
