Made Man

Full of fun and full of anguish superbly conscious of every rule they break Jendi Reiter's third poetry collection explores female-to-male transition and gay masculine identity through the voices of unusual objects and fictional characters with some aspect that is constructed technological or hybrid. From a surrealist's eggbeater discovering feminist consciousness or a pastry box enforcing omertà to the Nicene Creed as interpreted by Frankenstein these startling life studies open up onto a broader consideration of humanity's relationship with technology and the shadow side of male dominance of nature. Illustrated with original paintings by graphic designer and multimedia artist Tom Taylor.
