Books Petrolhead was published by Oversteps Books, www.overstepsbooks.com, in January 2010.
What they’re saying about Petrolhead: David Hart has described Jenny’s collection as: Reading Jenny Hope’s poems I have been glad to have been surprised by surprises. The poems are Imagist in a way rare now, which is by no means to pigeon-hole them, their image-making arises from bold insights into the day by day contemporary, the personal conveying ‘how it is’ for her while having that ‘Ah ha, yes’ for this reader anyway, and I heard not a few times my own spontaneous laughter. David Hart Roz Goddard describes Petrolhead as: Controlled and inventive, lyrical and richly sensuous. Jenny Hope's first collection is beautifully crafted and sure-footed. She deftly weaves surreal imagery into the ordinary and manages to be both playful and serious minded. There are meditations on love and ageing and dazzling reflections on intimacy which stay with you long after you have turned the page. Here is a writer pushing her skill with daring and verve, experimenting with language and ideas and delivering us a hugely satisfying collection.
