Book synopsis

Rachel Piercey charms and disturbs in her first full-length pamphlet, which considers the frailty of human relationships and makes a strong case for approaching life with an open mind and a generous spirit. These are poems which recognise and dip into cynicism but never fully yield, and that Piercey's sharp, unflinching world view still leaves room for romance is both glorious and heart-rending. This is a beautiful collection of poems about love, identity and home.

'It is hard not to fall in love with Rachel Piercey's latest pamphlet, Rivers Wanted, with its quizzical, imaginative world at once familiar and strange; its sensitive, honest and playful language. [...] A wonderful work of wit, imagination and skill from such a young poet, the pamphlet is a real gem.' Jennifer Wong, Sabotage Reviews

'Through sometimes witty, sometimes serious but always wonderfully concise language, Piercey takes us on a journey through the mundanity, anxiety, discovery and sentimentality that inevitably accompany a life in this world.' Rosa Garland, Cuckoo Reviews
