Take the plunge. Push
your face into streaming moss
and let water run down. Kick your shoes through the
grass’s spit. Search through landscapes and seascapes
for secrets of the human heart. The ordinary and the
extraordinary come together in ‘Mrs Marvellous’ –
poems
about strange gods, a box with lips, a cleaner in a hospital,
a man in a biscuit tin.
‘Victoria Pugh invents unexpected characters and offers
fables — often surreal — about their lives. The great
strength
of this writing is the subtle way in which she marries
originality and wit with human dilemma and poignant
emotion. Mrs Marvellous is an exciting debut.’
myra schneider
‘Victoria Pugh writes witty, delicate poems capable of real
insight and surprise. Hers is a distinctive new voice.’
