Poetry

Arscott's poetry has been published in Ambit Archived 14 September 2016 at the Wayback Machine, Mslexia, The North, The Rialto, and her pamphlet Soft Mutation was published by Rack Press in 2015. In 2013 she received a New Writers Bursay from Literature Wales Archived 6 March 2016 at the Wayback Machine.

In a review of Soft Mutation (978-0-9931045-1-0), Éadaoín Lynch writes of Arscott's 'preoccupation with womanhood and over-sexualised femininity, and their connection to detachment and death.'[3] Alison Brackenbury writes that 'her use of the colloquial is easy and powerful. Her poems, with no layer of artifice, can shift frighteningly in their briefest of lines.'[4]
