‘Fraught with a kind of energy that can only emerge when stories not-told are given air, this bold, bodily, fantastical work is a voice utterly its own; a 3D rendering of a world close to what is ours and familiar, but askance. Lucid, ludic and essential, as soon as I’d finished I wanted more.’ Rachael Allen

‘Esfandiari-Denney’s work offers a brilliant and vivid invitation to wander and speculate: about love and how we are always dying; about the body, all that it can do, and all the ways it can fail and constrain us. This is a remarkable, original, profound debut.’ Jack Underwood

In Eve Esfandiari-Denney’s My Bodies This Morning This Evening we see the body in so many states—ranging from survival to affection—that it achieves a sense of the elusive. Like water, Esfandiari-Denney’s poems move and seep into the gaps that exist between ourselves and the languages that define us. Holding together this remarkable debut pamphlet is a poetic that, in its plurality, is able to cross and recross borders, taking with it sisters, mothers, lovers and past selves. Here, voices are always moving beyond a single narrative, beyond the individual or certain, where it makes sense to say: “Your life are one”.
