Description
Book SynopsisGeneviève’s last poetry collection was split into two sections, ‘Lost’ and ‘Found’, outlining that everybody fits into one of those categories. This one, written in the 2016-2020 mega-mystery-box of xenophobia and destruction, comes all in one chunk, as now is the time when almost everybody is just terrified. Vitriol Works is a sublimely subversive collection of hard-hitting honesty exploring social and sexual politics, identity and alienation, and searching for meaning within an un-governed, post-Brexit, pandemic-enduring nation.
Trade Review"As complex as it is accessible, and as passionate as it is nihilistic, this is a work of profound intelligence and insight." - Clare Shaw, poet, playwright & writer; "Gritty, lyrical and packed with dark humour." - Sophie Sparham, spoken word artist & writer; "A rallying call to all of us left behind by the inequalities of society - the perfect amalgamation of the personal and the universal." - Kevin P. Gilday, spoken word artist & writer; "Poetry to make your fists itch." - Joelle Taylor, poet, playwright & author; "She has the ability to tell a hard truth with a finesse and style that you can't (and won't want to) look away from." - Dave Viney, spoken word artist & playwright; "A rallying cry, a withering put-down and the best song you ever heard all at once. Northern Gothic at its finest." - AJ McKenna, spoken word artist
