All That Lives

All that Lives is the third poetry collection from award-winning UK poet Valerie Laws, collecting her distinctive brand of science-informed poetry, some of which has been exhibited as an AV poetry installation in London and the northeast.

"A poet brings a new vocabulary to pathological realities."

BMJ

Poems about sex, death and pathology, both funny and moving, tackle taboo subjects with cutting-edge science and rich sensuality.

All that Lives arises largely from residencies in pathology and neuroscience research institutes. We trace the author's personal journey from witnessing the deaths of loved ones, through her quest to understand the science of dying down to brain cell level, encountering strange specimens and conditions.

Concurrently, after a long marriage, her rediscovery of modern sex and dating brings hilarious, earthy life to an unflinching collection which has already won many prizes and distinctions, and been exhibited or published in part to great acclaim.
