NEW RELEASE
The first chapbook by Charlotte De’Ath
Kicks To Hypnotise Suburban Daughters
Available through Erbacce Press
"Charlotte De’Ath has been one of the big finds on the Ink Sweat & Tears webzine. At a time when so many poets play it safe and like to stay within the tramlines of middle-of-the-road subject-matter and conventional forms, it's good to find a writer still prepared to take chances. A writer who will risk arming Barbie with beauty parlour accessories and have her attack you with her curling tongs and melt your eyes. A writer who spray paints their words across the printed page with all the verve of a graffiti-artist decorating a railway viaduct. Live fast, write dangerously. We need more poets like Charlotte."
...Charles Christian, editor Ink Sweat & Tears
“Kicks is a dark and subversive reimagining of the Garden of Eden. Image rich, and wrought in sharp, evocative language, it follows Evie’s descent from suburbia to drug den. In DeAth’s work not only does every word count but also its place on the page, leaving a trail into the woods we are drawn to follow.”
… Claire Massey, editor New Fairy Tales
