Tender Geometries

<p class=ql-align-justify><em>Tender Geometries</em> the author's first full-length collection brings together a selection of writing exploring networks of connection. 'The Tangles' 'Nylonase' and 'Sea Pens Pastoral Net' are networks as opposed to serialised writing which feed entangle pierce & elucidate within one another. Inter-relational praxis and speciesism weave precariously through a soiled syntax of damage and spoil stretching the theology of hope toward explorations of the unfamiliar and the culpable erasures yet attentive to a different world. </p><p class=ql-align-justify><br></p><p class=ql-align-justify><br></p><p class=ql-align-justify>Indignation at environmental injury and economic corrosion gives us indicative texts capable of sensing what is being damaged and waylaying us at that point to be continuously co-invented - but this can only be reached through an intricate lyric inoffensiveness once again testing the scope of poetry itself. Ambivalent self-contaminating vitalities are combed through for their appraisals of renewal but which are not thread-bare so much as thread-aware tangle-replete enough to take part in reprisals of praise. -Peter Larkin</p><p><br></p>
