Feel Everything! by Ruth Stacey PRE-ORDER
Published April 2025. Available for pre-order.
"A book of love, magic, loss and the senses, Feel Everything! enchants the reader with Stacey's playful and hypnotic language. These are poems to return to again and again." - Katherine Baxter 'These are poems of natural grace and confidence, whose readability and joy comes from a Herculean research endeavour. By turns funny, sad and visionary, with an extraordinary imagistic felicity that meets its subject on equal terms. As a collection it raises the bar of what can be achieved with biographical and docupoetics. Sensational.†- Luke Kennard 'A remarkable book that captures the unique spirit of Pamela Colman Smith. Ruth Stacey's beautiful poetry collection, Feel Everything!, achieves the difficult feat of shedding light into the mind of Pamela Colman Smith, a woman whose life was filled with major gaps and silences. Meticulously researched, Stacey's poems utilise archival and primary source material to create an intertextual narrative that while fictional, feels true. It is an important contribution to the growing body of work on Colman Smith, a multi-talented artist, writer, and publisher whose achievements were largely neglected during her lifetime.' - Liz Foley O'Connor “Feel Everything! buzzes with the energy of that vanished world, a life in all its joy and despair, with the strange intensity of an artist committed to the singularity of her vision.†-Tony Williams
