Praise for Oh My Rapture:
In ‘Oh My Rapture’, Gemma White stages the politics of fandom in percussive, edgy and unforgettable poems. White performs intense moments of intimacy and yearning against a backdrop of grief, so that lines such as ‘you dumped me in the psych ward’, ‘you kissed me in Dixons Recycled Music’, and ‘my madness is a burnt orange fox’ become deep entanglements of desire – Cassandra Atherton.
Gemma White writes with radical honesty and wit about mental and spiritual health, love, creativity and exultation in ‘Oh My Rapture’. The direct voice and casual tone of these poems make the insights that suddenly sneak up on the reader all the more effectively disarming. – Claire Gaskin.
Gemma White’s poems are maskless. There is a streak of non-conformity running through each of these poems; a tender transparency and an unapologetic ‘I’. You will find bold snapshots of “inflamed” connection and modern human disconnection conveyed in direct language. – Amanda Anastasi.
Poetry that lives by its own rules, nothing you can find in a textbook. Full of life experiences you can’t make up. A total joy. – Matt Ryan.

Praise for Furniture is Disappearing:
These intelligent poems marry the reflective and sensory with a clarity that brings direct experience into sharp focus. They are about being fully awake to an emotional truth and make honesty and art form for a richer experience of being alive. – Claire Gaskin.
Gemma White’s poetry is like watching the world in the surface of a puddle on a crisp suburban morning. Everything is there, in sharp, intimate detail, inviting you to reach in; and there begins the beauty, the gentle, shimmering distortions of the everyday. White is able to pinpoint the emotional core of a given scene and render it elastic, equal parts question and answer. “Furniture is Disappearing” is a wonderful debut collection. – Brendan Bonsack.
If you are a fan of and enjoy the writing style of Charles Bukowski, Jack Kerouac, Anais Nin, Anne Sexton, Sylvia Plath, Warsan Shire, to name a few, I am certain that you will enjoy this collection by Gemma White. I look forward to any new collections she comes up with in the future. – Frank O.
