Josephine Lay is a writer, novelist and poet. Josephine writes poetry for the page and for performance. This collection highlights her passion for both the written and the spoken word.
Unravelling is a collection of poems written within one year. Josephine Lay writes about the unravelling nature of things in her life: divorce, bereavement, health issues (after hitting her head and getting concussion twice) and a few poems touching on the political situation in this country during 2018. Her poems speak of the human condition; of life, love, loss and even death. Here is sadness and descent, but also the struggle towards the light and the survival of the human spirit.
Unravelling by Josephine Lay is a worthy addition to anyone’s poetry collection. Her arrival on the performance poetry scene has been most welcome, and her words work equally well on the page. Highly recommended.

The first time I heard Josephine Lay’s poetry, it made me cry. Rich in feeling, yet easy to relate to. Lay’s work is a pleasure to hear and read.
