Summary

"Who is the Baby Faced Assassin?" She wasn't born a killer, just an ordinary girl looking forward to a holiday – a welcome break from the routine, even if she secretly planned to end her relationship upon her return. But it takes just one decision to plunge her into a nightmare, transforming her into a notorious figure of vengeance. This haunting narrative poem unveils the story of a young woman caught in a web of tragic events. From a tumultuous love affair to a shocking death and the unexpected arrival of motherhood, her life takes a series of dramatic turns. When the past refuses to stay buried, she's drawn into a dangerous game where revenge becomes her driving force. In nineteen powerful poems and ten thousand words, this collection drags you down one teenage girl's road to hell, exploring her struggle for survival and the dark forces that reshape her destiny. Is she cursed? Perverse? Or has she unwittingly ruptured the very fabric of reality? With elements of the supernatural and a relentless pursuit of justice, "Baby Faced Assassin" is a dark and compelling tale that will keep you guessing until the very end.

    Most poets recollect or describe the present. In her third book of poems, Laura Quinney (whose “superbly spare meditations” Harold Bloom compared to the poetry of Paul Celan and Emily Dickinson) does something more uncanny: recalling what it once was like to anticipate the future, she remembers what she thought the past would look like from the present moment, and in so doing deepens the meaning of memory. This is her third book of poetry.

    Llanrumney plantation. Saint Mary Parish, Jamaica. 1765.
Annie and Cerys are enslaved by the Morgan family from Wales. When Elizabeth Morgan is faced with the loss of her plantation, the slaves' future hangs in the balance.
With a storm of rebellion brewing, Annie does everything she can to secure her future. But sooner or later she will have to face up to the horror and trauma all around her, including her own.
Azuka Oforka's play The Women of Llanrumney is a powerful, searing drama that explores the impact of slavery and the lives of women who experienced it – those who benefitted from it, those who were brutalised by it and those who fought to destroy it. It premiered at Sherman Theatre, Cardiff, in 2024, directed by Patricia Logue.
Azuka Oforka was the joint winner of the Best Writer award at The Stage Debut Awards 2024.

Blind to their powerful influences, she unknowingly walked into a wicked trap that she believed to offer momentary peace. However, this trap was permanent in its grip, and it thrust her into hidden realms that were more alive and vivid than her conscious awareness.Profound regret and overwhelming fear became her reality as she was dragged through the horrors of this unknown realm. She was able to see the dark forces that had been hidden and could comprehend their vile influences that led her to this inescapable trap.In an instant, she was pulled out of her eternal suffocating destiny and entered into a majestic hidden realm that permeated her soul with overwhelming love and the inexplicable peace that she had desperately craved. She was able to see the other side of these hidden forces that had always been loving and protective, and that relentlessly tried to help her.She was told she had a purpose. She was not told what it was.In the end, she was able to see how her seemingly insignificant decisions were beautifully revealed as the hidden source of light that profoundly influenced the lives of countless people who crossed her path. It was this source of light that she had been unaware of for so long.Until her very own unthinkable journey into the hidden realm.

    Varied in subject matter, these poems are clearly in the control of a singular voice. There is wonderful use of imagery throughout and surprising metaphor in abundance, in gentle and inventive poems that explores ideas of love, home, family and loss.– Hannah Lowe
