Outlandish
Jo ClementJohn McCullough 🏳️🌈Gem from Jo Clement’s searingly brilliant debut collection, Outlandish (@BloodaxeBooks, 2022). The book engages with her Roma heritage, confronting ways in which Gypsy & Traveller cultures are often misrepresented. (I also just love the idea of having words with mountains.) https://t.co/7STM775TuN

Soft Science
Franny ChoiJohn McCullough 🏳️🌈@camwritinghub @Anthony1983 @JTaylorTrash @jr_carpenter @litandcw_ice @VCapildeo I think we talked in Cambridge about our shared love for Nuar Alsadir's poetry! In terms of representing trauma, I really like what Anne Carson does with imagery in longer poems like 'The Glass Essay', and Franny Choi's collection, Soft Science, is fantastic.
