She, Shapeshifter

is a precise, pointed debut pamphlet from working class, neurodivergent poet Seanín Hughes. At its core considers big themes such as mental health, trauma, death and whether we allow ourselves a chance to grow through pain, or whether, as in Anne Carson: "to be running breathlessly, but not yet arrived, is itself delightful". "Fuck you all" Hughes concludes in 'Pretty Vacant', it is tempting to agree.
