Synopsis


Sarah Fletcher s poems are like those paintings whose eyes follow you around the room: you never quite escape their quizzical gaze. There are portraits of fighters, lovers, lads and bored dreamers, people drowning and people remembering how to swim. Each one is sketched with confidence and wit.
- Helen Mort

In her first pamphlet, Fletcher extracts uncommon poetry from common and extraordinary events alike. Dates disappoint in surprising ways. 21st century life is shadowed by the glamour and squalor of a 20th century that refuses to die. Confessional narrators pose complex angles on relationships, teetering between romance and abuse. Fletcher s poetry places us, shiny, tender, and bruised, in the here and now.
