There Is No Word Alive For What I Am
The Emma Press, coming March 2027
My debut collection, There Is No Word Alive For What I Am, will be published by The Emma Press in Spring 2027.
From the press release:
‘I wrote this collection as a handbook for unruly women who feel too much, willing them to see the power in their messier emotions: desire, grief, frustration, love.
I can’t think of a better home for this debut collection than the Emma Press, who take risks and champion their writers with such respect and generosity. I’m incredibly grateful they’ve taken it on and hope it will find its place on the bookshelves and bedside tables of readers who most need it’.
From Emma Press Director, James Trevelyan:
‘We’re excited to be growing our Poetry Collections list with a third title in as many years, and thrilled that Rachel Jeffcoat is joining the Emma Press stable. Rachel’s work is sonic, clear-eyed and anthemic, and There Is No Word for What I Am a debut of sparkling light - a full-throated song to life and hope’.
