The Wrong Person To Ask Av Marjorie Lotfi

<p><b>Marjorie Lotfi’s award-winning debut collection is a book of two halves, each a meditation on the idea of home, both the places we start and end up in our lives. </b></p><p>Spanning a childhood in Iran dislocated by revolution, through years as a young woman in America, to her current home in Scotland, these poems ask what it means to come from somewhere else, what we carry with us when we leave, and how we land in a new place and finally come to rest. </p><p><b><i>Winner of the James Berry Poetry Prize 2021</i></b></p><p><i><b>Winner of the Felix Dennis Prize for Best First Collection 2024 (Forward Prizes)</b><br></i></p><p><b><i><span>Winner of the </span>Forward Prize <span>for Best First Collection 2024</span><br></i></b></p><p><span><b><i>Poetry Book Society Special Commendation</i></b></span><br></p>
