purge fluid by Ivy Allsop

In this debut collection, Ivy Allsop draws mythic and historical narratives. While the influence of Geoffrey Hill and J.H. Prynne is woven into her lyricism, she also calls to mind the ecstasis of John Donne. Yet this remains a verse all its own, framing contemporary lyric poetry as a site of breathtaking experimentation.

Please note: since the release of purge fluid, Ivy Allsop has affirmed her gender. As such, the book cover and blurb will be updated on the next print run.
