Shortlisted for the Seamus Heaney First Collection Poetry Prize 2025Highly commended in the Forward Prizes 2024Rebecca Hurst's first collection bridges memory and observation, noting the detail of the natural world and our changing relation to it. The book's places are made familiar by walking. It encounters other worlds alive with new and recovered ideas and images – from the folk traditions of her Sussex childhood, to archival encounters with a nineteenth-century nurse-explorer, and her undergraduate training as a Kremlinologist. Her language is deeply rooted, as keenly aware of etymologies as of history. Shaped by myth, history and desire, the poems of The Iron Bridge are theatrical, fierce, music-infused.

Rebecca Hurst's debut pamphlet is woven through with fairy tales, folklore and landscape. She uses the natural world, family mythology and the theory of fairy tales to unpack, embroider, and explode traditional tales and tropes, exploring themes of voice, concealment, and transformation. Prickling with magic and spells, the poems in The Fox's Wedding lead us down a twisty path to find – what? A prince made of needles? A cursed box? A golden key? Take care and keep your wits about you; if you're lucky you might just find your way home.***Describe the box.It is square, carved from elm with a brass hinge and lock.I see you hold it in your hands.I hold it against my body, so.It is a burden.It is the size of a tea-caddy.It is an object of beauty.You could call it beautiful. The grain, the glow.The box is very old.The box would prefer we not discuss its age.- from 'Her Unbreakable Box'
