Her collection of poetry The Beautiful Lie (Seren, 2002) was shortlisted for the Whitbread Prize and the collection The Movement of Bodies (Seren, 2005) was selected as a Poetry Book Society recommendation and also shortlisted for the T. S. Eliot Prize.

Politically correct versions of this poem using inclusive language have been published, ruining the scansion and raising Pugh's ire.

Fandom is also the subject of her 'Fanfic' sequence, in the collection The Beautiful Lie, which includes a poem about Mary Sues.

It features several poems set in Norway and a sequence about the Dutch privateer turned Barbary pirate Murat Reis.
