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
