So be quick. Be really really quick.
‘…this is how we long to be saved’ writes Curwen in the opening poem of her new, striking collection where we are pulled into episodes of risk and rescue with gripping effect. There is navigation of the sea itself, and an emotional expanse being steered here too, one that contains grief, absence, and the depth of sisterly love.’

About Lesley Curwen
Lesley Curwen is a poet, broadcaster and sailor who lives in Plymouth. She writes about loss and rescue, and about family traumas around coercive control and forced adoption, as a way to witness and make sense of those happenings. She is drawn to the sea as a comfort, both to soften the grief that comes to all of us and as a source of deep joy. She won the Molecules Unlimited Poetry Prize and was a finalist in the Wales Poetry Award. Nine Pens published ’Invisible Continents’, a collaborative pamphlet from Lesley, Jane R Rogers and Tahmina Maula. Other poems have been published by Black Bough, Broken Sleep, Atrium, Spelt, The Alchemy Spoon and Ice Floe Press.
