Camille Ralphs reads My Word: from the Spiritual Diary of Dr Dee, a sequence of poems from her debut collection, After You Were, I Am (Faber & Faber, 2024), which is now available in audiobook, paperback and ebook.
'An astonishing adventure . . .This is poetry that delights in etymology and alchemical wordplay.' Guardian
'After You Were, I Am, showcases an ambition, seriousness and wit that make it strangely timeless – one feels it could have been published in any era and be worthy of a readership . . . I expect to be re-reading it for years to come.' Telegraph
