Georgie Jones is a poet and performer known for her humour and heart. Praised for her ‘formidable stage presence and compelling way with words’ (reviewshub) Georgie’s poetry feels like a really good chat with a really old friend (lifelong as opposed to ancient).

She explores the exquisite messiness of modern existence through poetry, stories and just a smidge of oversharing, with abundant wit and warmth in tow. Georgie can’t promise any answers, but she’ll do her best to make you feel better about not having them.

Caitlin O’Ryan’s debut collection is a journey of mirror smashing and everything we have come to accept being called into question. With deep vulnerability and wit, she invites us to look inside of ourselves and to interrogate what we find there. Fuelled by the times that we are living in, her poems vibrate through the pages, grabbing you with a sense of urgency that says “you are not alone, I also feel this”.

Taken from her live performances and featuring her viral poem ‘AT WHAT POINT’ which has amassed millions of views online and culminated in her being invited onto BBC Woman’s Hour, this book will light a fire in you that will continue to burn long after you have put it down. Caitlin is also known for her recurring role in the hit TV series Outlander.

‘Caitlin’s words are as powerful on the page as they are on the stage.‘ Harry Baker

‘A devastatingly heartfelt, intelligent, witty and turbulent ode to female friendship, fears, hopes and dreams … the book I wish I’d had in my twenties but so glad to have now in my forties, where I still swim in the uncertainties of this beautiful and confounding life.‘ Catriona Balfe

Entry requirements: no age restrictions (under 18s to be accompanied by an adult over 21yrs, 1:1 ratio)
