Genevieve L. Walsh's debut solo collection covers her first five
years of performing her punk-song-length poetry about love, hatred,
aggressive platitudes, sexual politics, alienation and inebriation.
Includes a Foreword by Henry Normal. "A collection full of passion
and subversion ... keen and urgent with an untamed beauty - like a
puma caught under a streetlight. She chooses her language and
targets with precision and infuses humour and fight in every
verse." - Henry Normal, poet "Rejecting the beige and embracing the
dark, this collection is a lyrical and defiant hymn to vodka nights
and concrete days. Shot through with nostalgia and the fear of
losing fellow dancers to normality." - Kate Fox, Stand-up Poet "A
unique and passionately inclusive voice guides us with incredible
skill and dexterity through everything that unites us: love, loss,
and drunk conversations. This book is a brutally affectionate hug
and a call to arms for all the losers, freaks, and feral lost souls
of the world." - Steve Nash, Saboteur Awards Performer of the Year
"Sharp, dark, insightful, inciteful, Genevieve switches it up;
lyrically rich imagery / word lust / street voice. From the Femme
Banal to the Double Windsor noose, for hardcore losers everywhere.
Buy it and "make yourself fucking lovely"." - Louise Fazackerley,
Performance Poet "A stunning collection from a unique voice. Poetic
without ever being pretentious. Dive in and embrace your inner
weirdo." - Kieren King, Cantankerous Word Git "Her poems are like
Genevieve herself... strong yet sensitive, clever yet accessible,
dark yet resplendent with colour. A collection penned with acute
observation and affection. A poetic celebration of 'otherness'." -
Joy France, Afflecks Creative in Residence
