Tender Geometries (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781848613355)

Tender Geometries, the author's first full-length collection, brings together a selection of writing exploring networks of connection. 'The Tangles', 'Nylonase' and 'Sea Pens Pastoral Net', are networks as opposed to serialised writing which feed, entangle, pierce & elucidate within one another. Inter-relational praxis and speciesism weave precariously through a soiled syntax of damage and spoil, stretching the theology of hope toward explorations of the unfamiliar and the culpable erasures yet attentive to a different world.

"Indignation at environmental injury and economic corrosion gives us indicative texts capable of sensing what is being damaged and waylaying us at that point to be continuously co-invented - but this can only be reached through an intricate lyric inoffensiveness once again testing the scope of poetry itself. Ambivalent, self-contaminating vitalities are combed through for their appraisals of renewal but which are not thread-bare so much as thread-aware, tangle-replete enough to take part in reprisals of praise." -Peter Larkin
