Join celebrated poet Claire Walker as she launches her recently released collection of poems, How to Shape Our Mouths.

“Claire Walker works with the most urgent feminine archetypes – the muse and the martyr; the mother and daughter; the artist and writer – whether neglected, wilfully misunderstood or ultimately defiant, she meets her subjects with a rare dignity and articulation, reconfiguring the past through the lyric and the artful case-study. How to Shape Our Mouths is a visionary encounter, deeply and exuberantly well-crafted. Not to be missed.” - Luke Kennard

"There is a little pigment of my heart that wishes to be seen..." What a joy to have new poems from Claire Walker. I love her curiosity and her lightness of touch, the way deep feeling is held within it; how - in these deft poems of art, mothering and exploration - she allows the voices of women to sing - Liz Berry
