Joy by Sasha Dugdale
Dugdale's fourth collection displays an increasingly urgent approach to historical and current geopolitics . It combines an open interest in the historical fate of women, particularly women-creators, and an interest in the fictional and dangerous shaping of history.
'Addictive writing, compelling and tender' Malika Booker
