Hag Stone is an exploration of the ways in which working class girlhood, broken homes, and sex interact, with a realisation that each is seemingly interconnected in more ways than one. The poems in this manuscript take rigid childhood events and reclaim the narrative through aggrandized surrealism, making it so that the harsh realities of some of these events are suddenly mutable against the whimsy, and in some places, desperate chaos that occurs in the work.

About the Author: Georgina Wilding was crowned Nottingham's first Young Poet Laureate 2017 - 2019, and went on to accept the prestigious role of Creative Director of Nottingham Poetry Festival until early 2021. In 2015 she set up the poetry publishing house, Mud Press, and in the same year graduated from the University of Nottingham with a first class degree in Creative and Professional Writing. She spent the first five years of her career writing and performing as a member of the poetry collective 'The Mouthy Poets' and has gone on to perform her work both nationally and internationally. Georgina has featured at events such as the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Sofar Sounds, Bright Spark, Hit the Ode, Straatstheatre Braunschweig and Off Milosz festival in Poland. As well as this, she has been commissioned by organisations such as The Royal Shakespeare Company and BBC Radio Nottingham to write and perform, and has been invited to teach poetry for programmes such as the City Arts Refugee Forum collaboration, First Story, the National Literacy Trust, and Redhill Academy's specialisms week. Georgina has been published in literary journals such as "The Rialto" and "Kontent", in magazines such as Pussy Magic, Rebelotte and Left Lion, and in anthologies such as Peace Builders "Small Acts of Kindness" and Jubilee Press' "The 'art of Nottingham." In 2020 she was invited to the Apples and Snakes BlackBox series to contribute her work 'Becoming a street lamp', and was also invited to write a piece on the Coronavirus pandemic for Manchester Writing School's 'Write We Are Now' project. In 2019 she was awarded a place on the prestigious Krakow City of Literature residency programme, and in the same year was commended as one of the Nottingham 30 under 30 winners for her work in poetry. She is incredibly proud to announce the release of her debut poetry anthology with Verve Poetry Press in 2022.
