The vivid, passionately wrought poems of Beautiful Nowhere encompass themes of childhood trauma, madness, dissociation, psychosis and even an exorcism. Louisa Campbell's sure handling of these dark and difficult themes draws upon five decades of experience, ensuring the poems' unflinching honesty, empathy and authenticity in depicting extreme states of mind. Yet these are poems of joy as much as despair, always looking towards the furthest we can see; a beautiful nowhere'.

"Louisa Campbell writes resonant, musical poems. They smuggle the difficult textures and weight of trauma into language that shimmers with clarity and a wonderful lightness of touch. They avoid simplifying, ever alert to the doubleness of experience.

The lively voices and characters that people these pages compel attention, leading the reader along unsafe edges towards rapturous heights." John McCullough, author of Reckless Paper Birds, winner of the 2020 Hawthornden Prize
