from Animal Illicit (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781913642273)

The poems in Gorge Ttoouli's from Animal Illicit have an extraordinary immediacy and playfulness, they are artfully composed, informed as always by Ttoouli's inquisitive probing of language. Collecting parts from two poetic series about ecology and the climate crisis, Ttoouli's work is heavily invested in the natural world. His passion for the various landscapes are preserved for the moment in this sublime collection in which he attempts to deconstruct, recycle, salvage and mutate a way of seeing and being.
