garn re-imagines Eliza Doolittle from Pygmalion and places her in the twenty-first century, cutting across landscapes from Liverpool to London. The book positions her through a series of sites and cultural signposts, from social housing to news stories, psychedelia to the post punk era, capturing life through the lens and locale of working class women.
‘With the life-threatening grip class has on our lives, it has always surprised me more poets are not willing to write about it. But this book! Sarah Crewe is an extraordinary poet who wields these centuries-old divisions anew. “about this cinderella trope about this abasement / it isn’t working for any of us.” One of my favourite new books of poetry, one you do not want to put down, even at the end.’
CAConrad, author of While Standing in Line for Death.
