Soft As Sin: A Collection of Poems

by Dawn Vincent, Helen Miller (Illustrator)

Aged fifteen, Dawn Vincent was a loner of a teenage girl. She began writing poetry after falling in with a creative crowd and remembering how much she loved writing for pleasure as a child. These poems are the words she used to deal with friendship, love, sexuality, bullying and much more besides. This collection is recommended reading for anyone who is (or wants to remember how it felt to be) young and lost anyone who likes reading words, especially in poetry form. It’s for you. SAS is the most appropriate (accidental) abbreviation for this it is the self-survival handbook that got a girl strong in the wild, surrounded by predators wearing Jane Norman bags and false eyelashes. It is the way a teenager kept from losing the plot at a crucial point in her life; it is when Dawn Vincent decided to take charge of her life by writing it down and she has no plans to stop. This is Dawn Vincent’s first collection, beautifully illustrated by Helen Miller.
