See what advance readers have said about Appetite below:
Clara-Læïla Laudette is a poet of lithe and granular intimacy. In these poems of family, relationships, and the self, of sex, love, and a rigorously considered politics of the body and desire, thought and feeling coexist in unexpected and hard-won equilibrium. Appetite is an unmissable debut.
Karen McCarthy-Woolf
In Appetite, Laudette writes out of life and into the world, in a voice both lush and brutish, from its ‘sugared teeth’ and ‘a pond-smelling bikini’ to the ‘drowned blankets in the killing wind’. These poems swill the glass and spit it into the hand, with a clear-headed erudition that burrows into quandary.
Jack Underwood
Voracious and exacting, Appetite shies away from nothing. Clara-Læïla Laudette casts her fine net almost impossibly wide. Kneading logistics into passion, cruelty into yoghurt-coated raisins, and halloumi into reincarnation, Appetite is one of the richest pamphlets I’ve ever read.
Nasim Luczaj
A stunning, bravura performance.

Nasim Luzaj
Appetite is the world seen through the eyes and imagination of a gifted poet, a brilliant but unflinching observer of the privacies and urgings of our appetites. It is a stunning, bravura performance.
