'Sharp, tender, hilarious. Little Bitch is a marvel! I am moved and changed reading it. Sutton takes us from raspberry ice cream to murdered girl-meat, oscillating between the brutal and beautiful, the candied and cruel, masterfully. ‘Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous’. I’m going to be shouting about this one from the rooftops.'  Rachel Long

 

'I sometimes see poems described as 'playful', and it's simply a stand-in for a word that means anything but 'actively sombre' - these poems, however, are genuine acts of play, language games where a lyric I cavorts against the limits of how a self is permitted to self-narrate. Contemporary emphemera rubs up against canon, grief finds a shared vocabulary with sexual fluidity. Little Bitch is a work of dynamism and scholarly rigour, daylight wit and desperation.'  Susannah Dickey 

 

Little Bitch hangs out in cemeteries, art galleries, hot-pink nuclear bunkers. She ruins your favourite movies and won’t stop talking about how hungry she is, horses, roses, her dead mother, the sea. She watches too much Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. She is a Venusian hellhole. She is too pretty to cry.

 

Ellora Sutton’s hotly-anticipated debut collection is an unsettling exposé of wasted potential, the precarity of desire, and the violence of girlhood. With cameos from Hello Kitty, Susan Sontag, Tony Hawk, and Marina Abramović, Little Bitch uses a powderpuff to serve up a suckerpunch with a side of Black Forest Gateau.
