Rachel Davies' first published collection of poetry is set in Lusaka and based on travels around Zambia and Southern Africa with her family. Life, In Shorts is an exploration of what it means to be outside your comfort zone.

These poems share some of her experiences as a Londoner in Lusaka, alongside questions around identity, what it means to be away from home in a different culture, and discoveries and reflections during her travels.

They are designed to inspire optimism about the world, and who we are as humans, and to encourage us all to explore a little more.
