Rocksong

Description

‘Rocksong is a shamelessly baroque ride through the all nadirsand summits of the contemporary queer. It’s a decadent book, where decadenceisn’t a cipher for self-indulgence, but a fierce and fugitive resistance. AsAudre Lorde writes ‘We survived and survival breeds desire for more self’. Or,in the glowing neon precincts of Rocksong, more selves, plural. Thesepoems flirt and confront in turns, they seduce and attack, they are tender andgrotesque. They create a strangely exultant burlesque on identity, sexuality,desire and language. I love them for that.’ Fran Lock
