Small White Monkeys is a fragmented essay that includes poems and images on self- expression, self-help, and shame. Beginning with the image of small white monkeys, the text examines the authors relationship with shame through a series of short studies on cats, hair as a metonym for the self in poetry and fiction, and perceptions of sexual violence, among other things.

Based in edinburgh, Collins is the editor of Currently & Emotion, an anthology of contemporary poetry translations. She was featured in Penguin Modern Poets 1, alongside work by Anne Carson and emily Berry, and has been recognized for her extensive poetic works.
