Womxn Heatwave Mama: Mama Heatwave Womxn (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781914972003)

Womxn Heatwave Mama is a playful poetry pamphlet written through the lens of the avant-garde Irish motherhood and gothic surreal absurdism. 'Womxn Heatwave Mama is such a vibrant mélange, a refreshingly wanton immersion in language and experimental poetic forms.' - Christodoulos Makris; "one of Ireland's leading contemporary explorers of experimental poetics" (The RTÉ Poetry Programme). 'Each text in Womxn Heatwave Mama is a turn in a field, a clearing, setting the cornerstones to a monument to avant-garde writing and new poetic forms. No pile of dead stones, though, this monument is lush with the look and feel of new growth and solar-powered alphabets.' - Gregory Betts; a Canadian poet, editor and professor at Brock University in Canadian and avant-garde literature. 'In an urban landscape playfully populated by myriad creatures from the animal kingdom, these surrealist poems evoke new motherhood in all its chaos and flux. A delight.' - Afric McGlinchey; poet, reviewer, book editor and creative writing facilitator, reviewer, book editor and creative writing facilitator. 'An experimental stream of consciousness that twists and turns to reveal the colours and shapes of language's abstract and objective qualities.' - Richard Biddle; a visual artist and experimental poet. 'Moloney King's work is a compendium of visuality, absurdity and playfulness, interwoven with domestic life and places we recognise.' - Nikki Dudley; editor of Streetcake Magazine, founder of Mum Write, poet and published author. 'The polyphonic poems in this beautiful chapbook hum, chatter, whisper and sing with life, every experiment a generous gift to the reader.' - James Knight; experimental poet and digital artist
