My third collection of poetry Treasure will be published on the 26th of September 2024 by Bad Betty Press. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Bad Betty and I’m very proud of this collection.

You can pre-order it here.

Here’s the blurb and what some nice people are saying about it:

Jemima Foxtrot’s Treasure is a shining work of alchemy and liberation, exploring power dynamics, sex work, desire, and female friendship with a fresh and playful perspective. Foxtrot investigates shimmering sexualities, the economies of desire, the theft of childhood and pathways towards reclaiming it. Her language is lush: intimate, intricate, full of fertile earth’s possibility. The poems of Treasure live up to its name: showing us where the gold is—the joy—how to feed it into the soil of our lives.

“Foxtrot is a savvy, sometimes savage, sensualist; her poetic speakers alert to injustice, but alive to pleasure in every way that counts. These are superbly tactile poems, full of wit, vigour and feminist jouissance.” Fran Lock

“Moving, radical and innovative – full of verve and courage, vivid and electric. Foxtrot is one of our most potent laureates of material experience, of the rich, tangy, painful and complicated pith of living.” Rebecca Tamás
