Description
Evans' debut, Threads—a collaboration with photographer Justin David also published by Inkandescent—was longlisted for the Polari First Book Prize.
His follow-up bears the watermarks of someone who’s swum life’s emotional spectrum.
Some poems barely contain their righteous anger within visceral verse – 'The old are eating the young / in great Goya gobfuls'.
Others, such as What the Cat Dragged Back, examine subtler sentiments: in response to your partner picking up a lover for you to share, for instance – 'I rub damp fur, wondering / which disco dustbin / you picked this one up in / and how best to dispose of him'. Short and (bitter)sweet, this is poetry for a mobile generation, poetry for sharing – often humorous and always honest about contemporary human experience.
Exploring issues such as climate crisis, Brexit, gentrification and the rise of populist politics, these poems say more in a few lines than politicians say in volumes and offer an antidote to modern living.
