WIN $150 GIFT VOUCHERS: ALADDIN'S GOLD
Laura Scott was born in London and now lives in Norwich. Her pamphlet What I Saw won the Michael Marks Prize in 2014, and in 2015 she won the Geoffrey Dearmer Prize. Her poems have appeared in various magazines including PN Review, Oxford Poetry and Poetry Review, and a selection of her work was featured in Carcanet's New Poetries VII in 2018.
'Concealing as much as they reveal, Laura Scott's eloquent fables combine acute attention to minutiae (`the creases in gloved fingers') with a beguiling sense of the world's unpredictability. These unerringly deft poems reveal what Marianne Moore once called the `mystery of construction', bathing the everyday in a light both compassionate and uncanny. So Many Rooms is a startling debut collection from a formidably gifted young poet.' - Mark Ford
