Sunshine is the new collection from Next Generation Poet Melissa
Lee-Houghton. A writer of startling confession, her poems inhabit
the lonely hotel rooms, psych wards and deserted lanes of austerity
Britain.Sunshine combines acute social observation with a dark,
surreal humour born of first-hand experience. Abuse, addiction and
mental health are all subject to Lee-Houghton's poetic eye. But
these are also poems of extravagance, hope and desire, that stake
new ground for the Romantic lyric in an age of social media and
internet porn. In this new book of poems, Melissa Lee-Houghton
shines a light on human ecstasy and sadness with blinding
precision.Includes 'i am very precious' - Shortlisted for the
Forward Prize for Best Single Poem 2016.
