A welcome discovery for many at the 2019 Adelaide Writers’ Week, British powerhouse poet and performer Joelle Taylor returns with her new collection C+NTO and Othered Poems. The winner of the 2021 T.S. Eliot Prize, this visceral and emotional collection was named by New Statesman as the poetry book of 2021 and described as “one of the most astonishing and original poetry collections of recent years”. Simultaneously intimate and epic, its riveting exploration of gender confirms Joelle as one of the key chroniclers of her community and times.
