I Did It Too by Deanna Rodger

This much anticipated debut collection from Deanna Rodger demonstrates a remarkable ability to craft timeless poems. I Did It Too collects poems written over a decade that embody the
politics of state and person, the city to the universe.

Featuring commissions from St Paul’s Cathedral, Buckingham Palace and Guardian News and well known poems such as Cog and Being British and the startlingly abrupt Nowadays.

I Did It Too is a public admittance, a powerful statement at a dramatic moment of history.
