Ava Patel's Dusk in Bloom. Winner of the Prole Pamphlet Competition, 2020.
There's an extremely accomplished voice that runs through all these poems, tying them together and ensuring they talk to and build on one another. It's as though the reader's been given the key to a parallel universe where there are extra colours in the rainbow. The consistently engaging imagery in this gathering is also used for emotional ends. These urgent, intimate poems discover many devastatingly effective last lines.
A polished and sophisticated debut.
