Georgie Jesson was born in London to a Bosnian mum and British father. One, a communist turned neurotic capitalist, the other a private school boy cast-off turned heroin addict. Georgie fell in love with poetry through music and lyric writing at an early age. She has since performed her work to music, written extensively for various music magazines as a journalist and culture writer, and written biographies and forewords for acclaimed artists including Baxter Dury and photographer Ewen Spencer.

Her debut collection traverses grief and love in equal measure, reflecting on family memories with a sharp honesty and a blurred edge. The book charts the changing ways the passing of time can affect us: “we collect figurines to make a monument of memory / to help ignore the wastage of life”.

The collection features illustrations by Greek artist Maro Michalakakos, whose work has been displayed internationally in several collection, including the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Tate, FNAC - Paris, Istanbul Modern and many private collections.
