Jen Campbells first collection The Girl Aquarium explores the realm of rotten fairy tales, the possession of body and the definition of beauty. Weaving between whispered science and circus, she turns a cracked mirror on society and asks who gets to control the twisted tales hiding in the wings. Semifinalist for the Goodreads Choice Awards 2019 (Best Poetry category) Shortlisted for the poetry category of the Books Are My Bag Readers Awards 2019
