ZOË GREEN
Forward Prize nominated poet

Candlestick Press winner

Hedgehog Press winner


”Dazzling poems about familial love, shot through with the natural world. The language is aching and visceral . . . It left me with a ‘funny-bone-hurt in my throat’. A gift of a collection.”

Luke Wright, Poet

“Zoë Green casts an unwavering eye along the hairline cracks in the psyche. With splendid vitality, she investigates mortality and illness, estrangement, resentment and fierce familial love. She is especially interested in the binds that transcend distance and time, leaving us to confron our inherited lots in houses loud and cluttered with artefact and memories.”

Louise Peterkin, ed. The Interpreter’s House

“I knew, the first time that I read Zoë Green, that she was the real thing. Not only does she place words with precision and clarity but she sees things in an individual way. Her poems are profound, plangent, witty and beautifully observed. Her “ore”, she claims, “burn[s] hot” but it also burns bright and clear. Dig in. You won’t be disappointed.”

Alan Humm, author of The Sparkler and editor of One Hand Clapping magazine
