Our intern Grace has been enjoying Them! by Harry Josie Giles which is out this week:
"Happy #pride Month! To mark the occasion, we are reading this summer's Poetry Book Society recommendation Them!, the new wild exuberant poetry collection by Harry Josephine Giles.
Exploring transgender life in modern Britain, these poems sing out with irony, fury and possibility. The cryptic visual spirit of these poems gives voice to all the complexities of sex and gender.
Them! weighs the artist's need for reverie against the noise that surrounds the activist. These poems are a vital account of the experiences of trans lives, which empower and inspire us to put “one foot in front of the other until there’s a meaning, one word in front of the other until there's a meeting”.
