Fiery, feminist and funny, Darling, It’s Me is the first collection by Norwich-based writer and academic Alison Winch. Winch combines refreshing explorations of marriage and motherhood with re-imaginings of Chaucer’s Wife of Bath and rebuttals to the 'great' (male) philosophers of the Enlightenment. Fusing philosophical interrogation with humour and pop cultural resonances, Darling, It’s Me plots new ground for confessional poetry.

Alison Winch’s sustained attack on the ‘patriarchals’ — their literary canon, philosophy and institutions — is one of the cleverest, filthiest, most incendiary debuts I’ve ever read. Rimbaud deranged by morning sickness. Clare PollardFrom the moment you enter the world of this book, where quym, trollop and coquillard share the pages with burpees, the 29 bus and egg tagliatelle, you’ll find yourself being tossed between apparent reality and nightmare hallucination. These precise and musical poems emerge in controlled bursts, reverberating up and down the centuries to create a soundscape of rage and furious imagination moderated by intellectual rigour. Think Anne Sexton coupled with Geoffrey Chaucer going heavy on the gas and air. A visceral, glorious and liberating attack on gender roles and the constraints of patriarchy. Jacqueline Saphra
