Blame it on Me

Briony Collins' Blame it on Me is an extraordinary collection of poems that focus on the death of her mother, when she was just five years old, and the ensuing family upheaval. Collins' poetry moves mellifluously, sensitive to the sound of words, infused with a delightful music. Collins believes, to quote her favourite poet Jim Morrison: "You should stand up for your right to feel your pain" - in Blame it on Me, that's exactly what Collins does.
