Second collection by highly praised London poet. Poems on animal versus human, wilderness and civilisation. Her debut Pure Hustle was published by Bloodaxe in 2011. Feral is a Poetry Book Society Recommendation.
These poems are luminous despatches from the charged, porous boundary between `animal' and `human'. They pull apart and remake definitions and categorisations of wildness and civilisation, training their focus on the language we use to describe youth, social class, and the body. From iron horses to grizzly bears, from deep-water fish to scanderoons, Feral roams the limits of power, language, and love. Cinematic, playful, edgy, tender, startlingly imaginative and strange, Feral's voices carve out a space in the borderlands. Kate Potts' Whichever Music was a Poetry Book Society Pamphlet Choice in 2008 and shortlisted for a Michael Marks Award. Her first book-length collection, Pure Hustle, was published by Bloodaxe in 2011. Feral is her second collection and is a Poetry Book Society Recommendation. 'Intricate, vital-tender, dazzling work - Potts' poetry sings even as it bares its teeth.' - Eley Williams on Feral
