Description

This substantial second selection of Roz Kaveney's poems covers everything from her reflections on a life very fully lived; on trans and queer experiences and politics; translations and explorations of figures from history and mythology - Inanna, Medea, Homer and more - and how they speak to us now; commentary on pressing topical issues such as the murders of Sarah Everard and Brionna Ghey, reflections on what 'a good death' might be; thoughts on art, artists and making art; poignant encomia to dead friends and artists of note, through to reflections on what 'a good death' might be.

Classical in form, these poems are accessible, erudite, moving and thought-provoking by turn.

Among many other works, Roz is the author of the Lambda Literary Award-winning cult novel of trans street life, Tiny Pieces of Skull, also available from Team Angelica Publishing, and the Lambda-nominated Dialectic of the Flesh (Midsummer Night's Press).
