About this listen

Rosie Garland's enthralling new poetry collection, What Girls Do in the Dark, invites us to leap into deep space. Rooted in the realm of gothic imagination, mythology, and the uncanny, it contains magnitudes and magic, feminist fables starstruck with science and astronomy. Like comets, these dazzling poems explore containment and liberation, asking what it means to dismantle expectations, escape the drag of gravity, and blaze your own path with "strangeness that makes you strong".

Critic reviews

"Garland is a real literary talent: definitely an author to watch." (Sarah Waters)

Rosie Garland reading her own work is a performance that everyone should experience. She has a richness, in description, imagination and in reading, that pulls you in. Her poems are spectacular, deep and filled with lines that make you wish you could write that way, think this way. I can, will and do, recommend her work to everyone.

Rosie Garland brings life to words in a way few can
