How do we maintain connection in times of disruption? This Is How I Fight by Rosie Garland interrogates gods, beasts and monsters, but not to hammer down simplistic answers. Through a queer perspective, poems shift between human and other, exploring where we might find the courage needed to forge a way through the world, one word in front of the other, proposing kindness as a radical act.

About the author:

Rosie Garland has a passion for language nurtured by public libraries. She writes poetry, short and long fiction, song lyrics and things that fall between and outside. She sings with post-punk band The March Violets. Poetry collection What Girls Do in the Dark (Nine Arches Press) was shortlisted for the Polari Prize 2020. Her latest novel The Fates (Quercus) is a retelling of the Greek myth of the Fates, and Val McDermid has named her one of the most compelling LGBT+ writers in the UK today. In 2023, she was made a Fellow of The Royal Society of Literature.
