This extraordinary, thrilling, soaring anthology has been gracing bookshop shelves since September now, and I’ve not had nearly enough time to shout about it.

Ana Sampson produces exceptional books. I have several! And of course it’s wonderful to be in a poetry collection illustrated by my now long-time-collaborator, Chris Riddell!

Gods and Monsters is a collection of poetry exploring characters from across the mythological cosmos. From Asgard to Ancient Egypt – these poems travel the world and are written for everyone.

I’m lucky enough to have two poems included – one about the Irish goddess of war and death, the Morrigan, and one exploring the world of trollfolk – or more specifically, the Jotunn.

You can see and hear me read one of my included pieces on my Instagram.

Fancy picking up a copy? It’s available pretty much everywhere, but this is a good place to get it.
