"Much With Body is modern and approachable, with an undercurrent of irony. All in all, a powerfully potent reading experience" – Buzz Magazine"I was moved by this collection which places the joy of nature alongside the lived experience of those who suffer, the wild and free next to images of confinement and inaccessibility. Atkin has crafted poems in both traditional and highly experimental forms with huge success." - London Grip"This collection is a keeper, I can't recommend it highly enough."- Caroline Bracken Atkins splits her collection into three unique parts. Atkins begins with refreshing perspective on the innocence and light-hearted descriptions of her experience with her local wildlife in Cumbria. Her next section is focused on ignored poetry from Dorothy Wordsworth, taking on an experimental style to share Atkins' struggle with lockdown, weather and illness. In her final section, Atkins highlights the ableism she experiences, linking the medical to the personal and her identity as a long-term sufferer from a chronic illness.
