With Love, Grief and Fury contains love poems, for people and the planet. Grief poems brimming with compassion, mourning what was and contemplating what could be. And poems of fire and fury that will kick some ass, tell the truth and inspire change and hope.

Over thirty years after she first stormed the UK poetry scene, the trailblazing and award-winning writer Salena Godden has produced her most audacious and definitive collection to date. Like a big sister's arm around your shoulder, With Love, Grief and Fury is important and nourishing for the soul.

This collection brings so much joy and makes me determined to live more, lust more and love more - HOLLIE MCNISH

This is a book I will return to over and over and over again, a book everyone should have on their shelf. Salena's poems are all at once intimate and tender, vast and powerful, compelling, funny, delightful, precise, and always always bursting with life - CECILIA KNAPP
