Swinging across timelines and from the mundane to the surreal, You and Yours is a study in grief: how it exists beyond seismic losses in the stories we inherit, in shifting friendships, and in uncertain landscapes. These poems celebrate the self as a malleable entity under the influence of all the lives it encounters, and balance the pain that characterises the loss of a profound connection with the wonder of having it in the first place.
 
'This is an exciting pamphlet because it introduces such a fine, polished, and standout new voice. The poems are sensitive and mature – and so perfectly made.'  Niall Campbell
