About this ebook
Katie Griffiths’ debut poetry collection, The Attitudes is a search for trust and faith – in the body, in the mind, in all those things we seek to hold on to but cannot.

In poems that are bold, effervescent, frequently playful, Griffiths approaches serious subjects - eating disorders, ageing, grieving - with a precise and inventive lyricism. The Attitudes compiles multitudes, with layer upon layer of counterpoints, juxtaposing and exploring the unresolvable, all the while seeking to move towards a place of deeper reflection and stillness away from the noise and distraction of the daily business of being alive. An astute and accomplished book which transforms
