Winner of the Indigo First Collection Prize 2024
Books
In Leah's debut collection she has used dream incubation techniques, or else lucid dreams, to develop this metaphysical and cyclical book of poetry that starts by entering the hypnogogic (first stage of sleep) before diving into vivid dreams, nightmares, insomnia and lucid dreams. After a spell of nocturnal shadow work, the poems wake via the hypnopompic state (final phase of sleep) before surfacing in the ‘fertile void’ of a new day.

Helen Ivory
"In these witchy and richly imagined poems Leah Larwood travels into the architecture, forests and underworlds of dreams, seeking out what lives there; seeking to heal the fractured self. I am reminded of the haunting surrealist work of Leonora Carrington where each framed depiction is offered as material findings of a purposeful oneironautical exploration."
Liz Berry
“Lush, mysterious and at one with the night-world, Leah Larwood's poems are a beautiful discovery. Open this spell-binding book and prepare to dream.”
