Them!

Them! By Harry Josephine Giles

From the publisher:

“Them! by Harry Josephine Giles is an exuberant collection of poems about trans life as it is lived today, through the lenses of work, technology and ecology.

In Them! Giles excavates the lexicon of sex and gender, singing back with irony, fury and possibility. The visual poetics of Them! create an unusually dynamic reading experience as she finds new ways 'to sing, shout and strike in the cracks of what's possible'. We hear from 'the reasonable people' and the bureaucrats; a bewildered worker contemplates the horrors of neoliberalism; a group of women at a quiet dinner encounter a punitive, spectral guest.”

Paperback, 101pp.
