shortlisted poet Helen Mort Let me kneelbefore the sky and let me be humble  untidy let me be
decorated. Here are women's bodies. Hungry adolescent bodies  fluctuating pregnant bodies 
ailing aging bodies. Here are bodies as products to be digitized and consumed. Here is the body
in nature  changing and growing stronger. Here are tattooed women through history  ink
unfurling across their skin. The Illustrated Woman is a tender and incisive collection about
what it means to live in a female body - from the joys and struggles of new motherhood to the
trauma of deepfakes. Amidst the landscapes of the Peak District and the glaciers of Greenland 
Helen Mort's remarkable poems transfix the reader in a celebration of beauty and resilience.
'These are poems that will leave their indelible mark' - ANDREW MCMILLAN
