Nina Murray

‘the first regime that teeters
is the government of self’

This new collection from Nina Murray gathers moments, from a childhood in Ukraine to COVID lockdown in Cambridgeshire, and explores them in shards of language. Murray turns her forensic gaze from the tiny details of now to the baggage of history. This is a unique and timely collection, asking essential questions about language and humanity.
