SPROUTS by Alex Davis
Joint Winner of the Brian Dempsey Memorial Prize in 2017 Rebecca Goss writes:
"Alexandra Davis takes a magnifying glass to familial encounters, describing what she sees there with an honest and unsentimental eye. Her poems explore the fragility of being human, recognising the affection and hurt we can inflict upon each other, but there is such wiseness here, such tender detail, it left me feeling I had read something affirming, and hopeful."
