Description



Book Synopsis



When poet Jemma L. King learned that her unborn son faced life- threatening conditions, her world unravelled. In his first fragile months, she turned to poetry to make sense of the impossible, asking: what happens before we begin, and what happens when we meet our most significant endings? Spanning centuries and continents, this breathtaking collection moves through time and space - from the icefields of Antarctica to the Salem Witch Trials, from ancient Greek myths to the neon-drenched visions of Warhol and McQueen. King's verse travels to the stars and back, interrogating the boundaries of existence, the fragility of life, and the fierce power of motherhood. With exquisite lyricism and unflinching insight, this collection is a meditation on survival, rebirth, and the ever-unfolding mystery of what it means to be alive. A cosmic, deeply personal journey that pulses with wonder, it reminds us that even in our darkest moments, we remain part of something vast, luminous, and filled with possibility.



Review Quotes




"A masterclass in metaphor... It moved me; it made me want to write; it was brimful of loss and hope and complexity. I loved it." --Emily Blewitt, Published and critically acclaimed poet

King won the Terry Hetherington Young Welsh Writer of the Year Award and was shortlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize, the Wales Book of the Year Prize and the Sundress Prize for her haunting debut poetry collection, The Shape of a Forest.
