The Fool by Jessie Jones
Next on our poetry pile is Jessie Jones’s debut poetry collection The Fool: a cutting, often dark, assessment of contemporary womanhood. This collection might have popped onto your newsfeed recently because just last week it made the shortlist for the 2021 Raymond Souster Award! In celebration, we wanted to share some readings by the poet herself. Enjoy!
"Images bloom in each line, like dreams, making me want to reread each poem just to experience them a while longer." — The Miramichi Reader
