  1. 1. Minx

    Minx is a lyrical poetry collection that follows an Anglo‑Romani family, focusing on two sisters and their mother as they navigate a vibrant yet precarious world of tradition, music and marginal livelihoods. When the sisters are placed into care and separated, their bond and survival are tested. Using playful, experimental forms, the poems explore belonging, identity and cultural loss without revealing plot specifics.
