Overview

Jess Murrain's writing glows bright with intimacy and elision, the push and pull our hearts recognise from any new and captivating entanglement. One Woman-Horse Show is an astute exploration of selves dawning in childhood and finding routes into a life woven with complications, of the work and toll of pushing back against smallness and shame. Joy and love mingle with profound loss. We see language in altered states, words moving like jazz in a poetics reclaiming 'the right to chaos'. There is mischief here, a delicate balance at play, and always the sense of further stories unfolding behind the scenes. Murrain commands poetry with grace and defiance, evincing the confidence of a thrilling new voice.
