A Dress with Deep Pockets by Jen Feroze

Winner of the 2024 International Book & Pamphlet Competition judged by Jane Clarke. 'A lightness of touch combined with wit and insight distinguishes A Dress with Deep Pockets.

Here are poems that celebrate, offer solace and resonate far beyond the page.' - Jane Clarke 'A Dress with Deep Pockets is scrupulously attentive to matters of love and longing. Vividly written and tender-hearted, this is a moving collection of poems which foregrounds kindness above everything. Highly recommended.' - Vanessa Lampert 'I so enjoyed the verve, colour and confidence of these poems. These are accomplished poems of womanhood, motherhood and friendships from a poet who doesn't forget the reader; hugely enjoyable.' - Deborah Alma
