Permit Me to Write My Own Ending

<p>Permit Me To Write My Own Ending is a collection that spans generations and timescapes - from gritty explorations of a London adolescence to haunting poems detailing love and adulthood in the US. Faulkner's language and form dissects the emotional impact of historical trauma navigating and sharply reframing nationality and memory interiority and history. Depictions of London during the Blitz and post-war Berlin sit alongside poems about motherhood and childhood from the perspective of one of Freud's most famous patients. In this defiant debut collection the act of writing boldly confronts a landscape dominated by patriarchal notions of the female deftly redefining it with language and vivid imagery. Faulkner unapologetically writes her own ending.</p>
