Publisher's Synopsis
Monika Radojevic's 'Teeth in the Back of My Neck' was the inaugural winner of the `Merky Books New Writers' Prize, dedicated to discovering the stories that aren't being heard and to find the best writer of a new generation. Written with profound depth and insight, the poems will explore the joys, the confusions and the moments of sadness behind having one's history scattered around the globe - and the way in which your identity is always worn on your skin, whether you like or not.
