| book description |

Publishing as a standalone collection for the first time, and featuring new, never-before-published poems There will come a time where everything falls apart around you and somehow you are still there. Nobody asked for this, did they? Charly Cox is not at all where she thought she would be, yet to be somewhere at all – to have reached thirty – is, in itself, miraculous. In this stunning collection, including new, never-before-published poems, Charly Cox offers up her inimitable voice and perspective on breaking up and breaking down; on growing up and staying alive, and of love in all its different guises. Intimate, unflinching and profoundly honest, these poems sing with the complicated joy of life, and of continuing to live, despite everything. For avid readers of Rupi Kaur, Holly McNish and Nikita Gill, this is the perfect collection to gift with care to all the poetry lovers in your life trying to understand this increasingly complicated and confusing world around us – even if and especially if that poetry lover is you.
