'Grief remembered, reassembled, made beautiful by a genuine poetic talent. Sad and amazing.'

NICK CAVE​
 

​

'Beautiful and heartbreaking - Georgie's musings on life, love and loss feel electric - a gorgeous collection that should be held tight by all who read it.'

AMELIA DIMOLDENBERG

​

​

'A dizzying yet discernible exploration of family, love and loss, putting to paper what it feels like to reach back in to the pool of a memory, addressing life's beauty even its darkness.'

ELLIE ROWSELL

​

​

'A beautiful brilliant thing. Tender and touching, raw and unflinching.'

 

SIMONE ROCHA

​​​

​

'Georgie's poems go deep into personal loss and bereavement, but her romantic sensibilities balance her perception of trauma into something beautiful and tender. Like all brave writers she's honest and exposing, and as a result, you really feel what she's feeling. Her mystical, slavic ancestry suggests an otherworldliness, and she flips between these two realities, questioning her origins.'
 

BAXTER DURY​

​

'Georgie Jesson's tender, affecting verse transcribes the reverberations of violent, disrupting, perplexed experience: loss and estrangement, familial chaos, and the pained questions we ask that never fully get answered, out of which art and poetry flow.'

ROB DOYLE


'Raw and tender as a bruise, Georgie Jesson's poems speak directly to how baffling loving an addict, loving any parent, can be and how that love continues to ripple through us into adulthood.''

VIDA ADAMCZEWSKI

 

'From boats to bridges, through the Balkans, beaches and bodies, this immensely beautiful and brutally honest collection delivers on its promise - that is, to develop a 'language of loss'.

An essential read for anybody interested in death, memory, belonging - and in what it means to grieve yourself and others.'

NIKOLAJ SCHULTZ

 

'These are earthy, grounded, toothsome, soulsome, soft, sweet, hard, frank, flavourful, shattered, hopeful, swift, restless, transplanted, viscous, haunted, trembling, tremendous poems.'

RISHI DASTIDAR

 

'Made my heart break. Again and again and again.'

WARREN ELLIS

 

'A collection of painfully unforgettable sentences.''
