Tishani Doshi's Forward-shortlisted collection A God at the Door spans time and space, drawing on the extraordinary minutiae of nature and humanity to elevate the marginalised. Extending the territory of her zeitgeist collection Girls Are Coming Out of the Woods, these new poems traverse history, from the cosmic to the quotidian.
Girls Are Coming Out of the Woods is Tishani Doshi's third collection, following two earlier, highly praised collections, Everything Belongs Elsewhere, published by Bloodaxe in 2012, and her debut, Countries of the Body, winner of the Forward Prize for best first collection. Poetry Book Society Recommendation shortlisted for the Ted Hughes Prize.
