Formally distinctive and beautifully honed, Mother, (v) is a reflective, precise and poignant sequence exploring fertility and its absence. This is honest, exquisitely realised poetry written with a freshness and intelligence that draws the reader in deeply, confirming Anne Marie Wells as a unique and subtle voice. Following several US publications and awards, including being a Wyoming Woman of Influence nominee in the arts category for amplifying the voices of the LGBTQ and disabled communities, Mother, (v) is Anne Marie Wells’ first UK publication, an award-winning chapbook that introduces her work to new audiences.
