In her debut collection, Rosamund Taylor dares us across thresholds and invites us to glimpse the world as we've never seen it before. She boldly charts a journey of survival and transformation with poems on history reimagined, astronomy, sorcery, wild landscapes, talismanic creatures, and queer love. Taylor explores what it means to live in a female body that is not defined by lack, or want, or perpetual suffering, but is possessed by a real and defined sense of erotic autonomy. These poems burn from the inside out with possibility, and there is magic, mystery and reclamation at every turn. In Her Jaws is a landmark debut that extends and deepens the Irish tradition of writing the female perspective, while also breaking new ground.
Rosamund Taylor won the London Magazine Poetry Prize 2020 and the Mairtin Crawford Award for Poetry 2017. Widely published, her work has recently appeared in Butcher's Dog, Magma, Mslexia, The Rialto and Poetry Ireland Review. A selection of her poems is included in Queering the Green: Post-2000 Queer Irish Poetry (The Lifeboat Press).
