About this listen
Read by the author, Harry Josephine Giles.
Them! by Harry Josephine Giles is a challenging and subversive collection of poems about trans life as it is lived today, through the lenses of work, technology and ecology.
Witty, candid, furious, and always compelling, Them! negotiates the fraught and fruitful space between the worlds of ‘online’ and the ‘outside’, and how they fuse and diverge in the imagination.
Giles’ visual poetics create an unusually dynamic reading experience as she finds new ways ‘to sing, shout and strike in the cracks of what’s possible’. At a time when trans rights are to the fore in public discourse, Them! is a zestful poetic intervention from one of this generation’s most necessary poets.
Critic Reviews
With wit and strange beauty . . . Giles celebrates an explosive efflorescence of forms, from prose poetry and erasures to dazzling visual poems, songs, photo-poems, a hilarious flow chart concerning gender reassignment protocol, and minimalist nature poems . . . A bold and inimitable tour de force (Philip Terry)
Skilful and seditious poems . . . furious in [their] humanity and exceptional range of expression
A complex collection – inventive, spiky and in possession of fiery energy (Vona Groarke)
