| Description: | This is a book of poetry: half human, half emergency. It’s about what it means to be alive and angry and afraid. “In Liv Torc’s witty, inventive and generous hands, poetry opens up new ways of noticing and sharing all that matters most.” Susannah Herbert, Head of Forward Arts Foundation and National Poetry Day (2012–2021); “Glorious proof that ‘unfiltered’ doesn’t mean ‘uncrafted’. Liv wears her heart, intestines and other vital organs on her sleeve and waves furiously – blood everywhere, word droplets form asymmetrical mandalas of glistening beauty on the lino. Come in, come in. Everybody’s welcome. Sit where you like.” Matt Harvey, Poet; “Liv Torc is one of my favourite performers. Her poetry is fierce, tender, exultant and truthful. I recommend this book as a connecting solace and electric joy to anyone who has ever felt wild.” Francesca Beard, Poet |
