Closer Baby Closer

By Savannah Brown; published in the US in partnership with Doomsday Press

In this dazzling third collection, poet Savannah Brown holds a magnifying glass to modern intimacy with a lens that burns as often as it illuminates.

Moths, ex-lovers, Jeff Bezos, and other supernatural creatures flit through the pages as Brown charts her own cartographies through London and the world wide web seething in everybody’s pocket.

These poems pinch and pull through the smallest moments, like someone trying to zoom in on a smartphone photo, or someone in the thrall of a bad, bad habit.

Please note! This is a pre-order and will ship a week in advance of its publishing date: October 10, 2023.

"Like an inner voice made cinematic, Brown holds us in the space between physical and digital intimacy where pain and beauty collide."
— Ella Frears, author of Shine, Darling

"Touching and illusory, ominous and beautiful, Savannah Brown’s Closer Baby Closer is stuffed full of painful and tricksy poems. Love is filtered through layers of screens or chewed up and spat out. These poems are tactile and sensory but also dreamlike and strange. This collection is a ‘ribbon of light’. It's ‘the dark room you want to be in with all the things you love’."
— Phoebe Stuckes, author of Platinum Blonde
