Loggerheads

Winner of The Broken Spine’s Second Annual Poetry & Prose Chapbook Competition

“Is it better to be at odds with the world, or with one’s self?” (Karen Pierce Gonzalez)

“Moments that feel as universal as they do personal… these poems let in the light, always.
More than this: they both admit and submit to love’s healing.” (Mark Anthony Owen)

In her new chapbook Loggerheads, published by The Broken Spine, Lucy Heuschen writes poignantly about a life lived in fierce determination to follow her own path. From childhood in 1980s London to the challenges of career and motherhood, the heartbreak of relationships and serious illness, we follow a roadmap created by difficult choices. Yet a spirit of hopefulness, the search for love and acceptance, are never far from the surface in these poems which Julie Stevens calls “emotionally charged” and “exquisite”.

We Wear The Crown (Hedgehog Press, 2022)

“A masterclass in finding the light in the dark and transmuting the sorrows and struggles of life into powerful and dazzling poetry” (Anna Saunders)

“A brave and slant testament to surviving breast cancer, written by a poet who never fails to keep her readers close...
An astonishing pamphlet.” (Mark Connors)

We Wear The Crown is the debut poetry pamphlet from Lucy Heuschen. We walk with Lucy through the aftermath of breast cancer; along the way we meet family members, doctors, consultants, nurses, talk with Marie Curie and dream of a-ha’s Morten Harket. We Wear The Crown is a brave, moving journey towards healing and acceptance after a life-changing diagnosis.
