She was an overall winner in the 2013-14 Book & Pamphlet Competition.
 
Richly imaginative, elegant and spare, Rebecca Farmer's poems salvage a bleak beauty from profound loss. There's dark humour too, energy, and the sharp pin-pointing of unrealities that can scarcely be absorbed.
- Moniza Alvi
 
The Territory of Rebecca Farmer's poetry is familiar - love, illness and loss - but the plainness is deceptive. Here's a world where croydon becomes Venice, ghosts inhabit fridges and quotidian reality is both honoured and transformed. Her voice is arresting - heartfelt, too.
- Blake Morrison
