An evening with Rosie Garland - This is How I Fight -In the shop or by Zoom

How do we maintain connection in challenging times? This Is How I Fight by Rosie Garland encounters the wild and untamed, the creatures of night - and the beasts that lurk within us. Here, the poems interrogate gods, heroines, villains and monsters. Through desire and escape, we encounter women on fire, girlhood dreams of horses, oracles, vampires and saints, and a cast of characters – from Eurydice, Mrs Danvers, Spock, the Virgin Mary and Cruella De Vil.
The poems explore where we might find the courage needed to forge a way through the world, one word in front of the other, proposing kindness as a radical act. Poetry Book of the Month, The Observer
