Defiant, humorous and insightful, 'Not Quite Right For Us' pierces through the hierarchical mechanics of class, race, gender. A celebration of outsiderness and an ode to otherness, 'Not Quite Right For Us' is a singular collection of stories, essays and poems by a dynamic mix of established and surging voices alike, edited by Sharmilla Beezmohun.

A precocious debut, that brims with inquisitive energy and sharp insight, overrun by wild boars is a search for intimacy and strength in the face of persecution and trauma. Formally daring and subversively inventive with language, it sifts through the wreckage of history and attempts to grasp what is worth clinging on to, what it means to survive.

A follow up to "Suitcase".

Described as a poet of the world, Jacqueline Saphra's work dances between personal and profound to offer a striking vision of growing up and growing older, mothers and motherhood, femininity and gender relations, all framed against the backdrop of a modern world, itself subject to growing pains. 'The Kitchen of Lovely Contraptions' is her debut.
