Jessica Mookherjee's Play Lists is a collection of poetry dripping with nostalgia for a time when love was a name on a pencil case, rock and roll meant everything and the world seemed so much wider. Mookherjee's poems are bedazzled with glossy and alluring figures; Bowie, Bryan Ferry and Iggy Pop all feature as Mookherjee grows from school crushes, first dates and small town escapism to the excitement of being a young adult in London. Play Lists is an absorbing and tender stroll through the golden years.

18/31: PLAY LISTS by Jessica Mookherjee From “Rolling Thunder:” “*I guess that’s why they call it the blues;* you said as you walked away, / *the song I’ve written for you, it’s a bit like that.* I was too stoned to stand.” #TheSealeyChallenge #TheSealeyChallenge2022 https://t.co/TlaDHb4bbi
