"The Girl Who Forgets How to Walk captures the precariousness and
fragility of life" LUKE KENNARD; Kate Davis writes magical realist
poems born of the hills, marshes and coastal edgelands of south
Cumbria. In this remarkable first collection, tarns, limekilns and
abandoned pits become portals into a dark, interior world. A woman
levitates above a building site; earth slips and fault-lines open
up beneath the town; the sea hides 'a gob of virus'. The moving
title sequence tells the story of a young girl with polio who
struggles to find her feet - and her voice - in an unforgiving
landscape where 'the ground cannot be trusted'. Alive to geology,
memory and myth, The Girl Who Forgets How to Walk is a brave,
uncompromising and unmissable debut.
