'Rosie Garland has a vast and playful imagination, her new collection a shadowed labyrinth of obsidian mirrors, quantum physics and Whack-a-Mole. Watch out: behind the vampires and verve there prowls a relentless compassion that may seize you at any moment and lift you to the stars.' -- John McCullough 'A galloping collection that looks beneath the skin of a woman to the multitudes inside - galaxies, creatures, queens, ghosts, little lost girls and sheer fire - all itching and roaring to be seen.' -- Caroline Bird ‘Breathless audacity gallops in these poems; their hearts are made of glowing, animate matter. Nothing could be more important than this, in a time when we most need to see proof of our love: Rosie Garland's This Is How I Fight supplies it, in wonder and spectacle, in jagged defiance and binary deconstructions that spark their own necessary fires. How ferociously grateful I am that these poems exist; how urgently we in the world require them for our shared survival.’ -- Shivanee Ramlochan
