What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
An arresting debut collection about identity, ancestry and history, from a young poet selected as an inaugural winner of the #Merky Books New Writers' Prize, dedicated to discovering the best writers of a new generation.
Chosen as one of Bustle's Best Debut Books of 2021
Written with profound depth and insight, the poems in Teeth in the Back of My Neck explore the joys, the confusions and the moments of sadness behind having one's history scattered around the globe - and the way in which your identity is always worn on your skin, whether you like it or not.
Bristling with tension and beautifully realised, Monika Radojevic's impressive debut collection is an introduction to one of the most exciting and impressive poets of her generation.
'This is a courageous, arresting debut from a poet to watch.' Independent

Critics Review
This is a courageous, arresting debut from a poet to watch.
This book is stunning
Monika Radojevic’s poems grapple with the intersections of race and womanhood with a bite fitting of this debut’s title; her ability to weave gut-punching honesty with arresting imagery makes for a standout collection[…] Radojevic is no doubt a poet with a bright futureand Teeth in the Back of My Neck is a testament to the powerful things she has to say. An assertive and enthralling collection of poetry.
Radojevic writes with an uncompromising fierceness, provocation and dedication to the physical body which acts as her most authentic, intuitive medium of expression. She offers with this collection a vital contribution to literature at a time when women’s voices urgently need to be heard.
Radojevic’s interrogation of the status quo … is not just interesting, it is agitating.
