Minx in the Guardian

I’m excited to share news that Minx has featured in The Best Recent Poetry – review roundup by Philip Terry in the Guardian. Philip says of: Minx
This assured debut takes us into the heart of a precarious Anglo-Romany childhood on the edge of urban society, where casual bar work easily slips into casual sex work, and on to explore the perils of state care in the ominously named Home for Crying Children. It’s not just the Dickensian narrative that’s gripping, but the way it brings different forms to bear on its material, without the least sense of strain: from support workers’ multiple-choice questionnaires to shape poems in the style of Dylan Thomas, to desperate letters to an absent sister. Add a peppering of Romany – we quickly pick up “babbi” (baby), “drom” (roads) and “rawni” (lady) – and you have the makings of a heady mix.
I’d like to thank Philip, for such an insightful and considered review.
