Lady by Laurie Bolger PRE-ORDER
Published 10th April 2025. Available for pre-order.
Lady, the new collection of poems by Laurie Bolger, plays with the arc of a chick flick. Whilst trying to be the most honest version of themselves the poems play the parts of housewife, fitness instructor, landlady, hen, sister, mother, boxer or drunk. Are we stuck on the ideal of small girl in a big dress when perhaps we are wild, dreaming big and taking it all in? Ultimately, this effervescent book is a celebration of the resilience of working class women, of autonomy, friendship and of love.
