AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In Oh My Rapture, Gemma White draws on her own lived experiences with bipolar, and her attempts to transcend it through the power of her imagination and the creation of art. Entwined throughout the poems in this collection are allusions to themes in The Red Hand Files, as every poem is a direct response to a different file. Yet each poem also stands on its own, a testament to fandom but with a self-awareness that imbues each piece of writing with unique insights from the poet herself.'

— Appears in: Rochford Street Review , vol. 39 no. 1 2024;
— Review of Oh My Rapture Gemma White , 2022 selected work poetry

'Gemma White dedicates this collection of poems to ‘the man with the Red Hand Files Tattoo.’ I too subscribe to the Red Hand Files, a series of personal letters written by the singer/songwriter Nick Cave, whose personal responses to fans’ questions about life and suffering are thus rendered public and poetic. Like clearly calls to like.' (Introduction)
