Hera Lindsay Bird

Hera Lindsay Bird writes sardonically yet with feeling - and occasionally with a tenderness that hits you straight in the heart - about everything from relationships and bisexuality to Nostradamus, art and life. In this, her self-titled debut collection, she gathers many of the poems which have already won her an enthusiastic readership around the world, including the viral hits 'Monica' (about the character from Friends) and the incomparable 'Keats is Dead so Fuck Me from Behind'.

Goofy, absurd and frequently outrageous, this book presents a fresh and original new voice, marrying the energy of the surrealist one-liner to a roving intelligence, a sharp wit, and an instinctive talent for the utterly memorable image and phrase.
