Threads Summary

Threads by Nathan Evans

If Alice landed in London not Wonderland this book might be the result-picture and word weft and warp to create an alchemic (rabbit) whole. On one page, the image of an alien costume-hanging surreally beside a school uniform on a washing line-accompanies a poem about fleeing suburbia. On another, a poem about seeking asylum accompanies the image of another 'alien' on an urban train. Woven through with themes of queerness and love, spun from heartfelt emotion and embroidered with humour, Threads will leave you aching with longing and laughter.

Threads Reviews

Two boldly transgressive poetic voices - Marisa Carnesky; Every page delighted me - Neil Bartlett; A winning blend of words and images, woven together with passion and wit. - Paul Burston
