Lovercaine Harriet Fairclough

Lucy Duffell is a writer from the North West of England and studied as a linguist before finding her calling as a poet. Her first collection, Lovercaine, is a cathartic blood letting of past lives, loves, and losses. This collection of poetry explores themes of dysfunctional relationships, both platonic and romantic, and the experience of religious trauma. Whilst deeply personal in subject matter, the honesty of Lucy's writing has created a body of work that is universally relatable. Lovercaine guides us through the worst parts of ourselves, and ultimately shows us that there is hope in healing.
