Praise for this book
Genuine work from a genuine new voice - a voice which will be heard.--Joolz
Angela Readman's work is a carefully stitched embroidery of the familiar and the often overlooked or taken for granted- she makes pictures that stay in your mind long after the poem has been read. Sharply observant, dry, savage and wholly authentic. Genuine work from a genuine new voice, a voice that will be heard.--Joolz
Readman casts her eye over ordinary life with a sharp knife. This is witty, astute poetry of the inventive kind. Sex with Elvis feels important, as all good poetry should ... Poetry with an edge. Read it, taste it, it's bloody wonderful!--Julia Darling
It must be obvious that I loved this collection of poetry. It is one of the most exciting collections I have read in recent years. Strip goes straight to the core, very little metaphor, just very stark images that explore society and the experience of girls and woman within it. The language and imagery is cutting, beautiful and sad. I felt as though I was breathing with these narrators, experiencing the small detail of their lives.--Annie Clarkson "Stride Magazine "
