Sensational Spelling

Abigail Parry is a British poet and translator. Her first collection, Jinx (2018), deals in trickery, gameplay, masks, and costume; her second collection, I Think We’re Alone Now (2023), investigates intimacy and estrangement. I Think We’re Alone Now was shortlisted for the T. S. Eliot Prize and for the Wales Book of the Year award; it was commended for its “knottiness of thought and emotion, as well as its refusal of easy answers” (Mary Jean Chan). Both are published by Bloodaxe Books.
