How You Might Know Me is a poetic exploration of four women’s lives, connected through their experience in different areas of the UK’s growing sex industry. Written following years of creative writing workshops with women in the industry and Sabrina’s own experience of working in strip-clubs, the collection represents a broad range of backgrounds, ethnicities, ages and political convictions. The characters of Sylvia, Tali, Sharifa and Darina bring challenging and often unexpected perspectives on their work and lives to the reader in electric free verse and quieter, traditional forms. Examining taboos, surprising sexual encounters, the politics of desire, the vastly differing viewpoints on sex work and most prominently, the status of women’s equality in the UK today – How You Might Know Me is certainly a fiery collection of poetry from one of the country’s most exciting new writers. Praise for previous work: ‘nuanced, deeply moving…vigorous, subtly political work’ The Times on ‘Chef’ ‘howls into a raw, urgent expression…simply bristles and writhes with emotive language’ The Herald on ‘the love I feel is red’ ‘in quite a different league…a really substantial piece of writing…the language is rich…she speaks lyrically and powerfully…a real find’ The Times on ‘Dry Ice’
