Proudly staking a landmark for the UK's Latinx community, Katherine
Lockton's debut pamphlet, Paper Doll, strikes the poetry landscape
as disruptively as a meteor scars earth with its impact.
Documenting a shape-shifting existence between activist and
survivor, immigrant and alien, lover and loner, this is a tract of
the unseen made visible and given a striking, defiant vocabulary.
Having fallen from a building as a child in Bolivia, Katherine
seems to have retained an ability to stack images that zip along,
only leaving an imprint of their meaning as the poem descends to
its conclusion. This quality, combined with a contrasting
directness makes reading Paper Doll a profoundly affecting
experience. There is no smooth ride to be had here. As the poet
puts it in the poem The Paper Doll Chain, "she will defy me; time
after time/ teaching me how to live when she does."
