In Open Your Mouth Jasmine Gray mixes the elegance of Joan Didion with the inventive spirit of Anne Carson. Gray moves with fluidity and style around her chosen subjects: Amy Winehouse, the Catholic Church, feminism, creeps. Open Your Mouth is a pamphlet full of vivid, intense and sensuous poetry, every phrase sparkles with the gleam of a newly minted coin. Jasmine Gray is a brilliant young writer, who wishes to be delighted by what enters [her] mouth, and what leaves it.
