Flood

<p>In <em>Flood</em>, Jessica Mookherjee inhabits several identities in her ‘bone-framed coat’. With overarching themes of migration, otherness, sexual awakening, and maternal mental illness, we encounter the aftermath of catastrophe, of loss and being lost.</p><p>Here, ‘time folds us into origami boats’ – and the poems swell with the surging tides of youth and of becoming, of what we inherit and what we forge as our own path – and what happens when we jump into the depths and experience life in full-flow. Alive with wildlife and nightlife, mythmaking and bad romance, the everyday and the otherworldly, <em>Flood</em> is a prodigious debut collection from a truly distinctive and vital voice, now reissued in this new edition by Nine Arches Press.</p>
