Sobre IBD

For someone living with chronic illness, every minute the body is in a state of biological transitioning. Add in the constant shifting of menopausal hormones and we’ve got something really complex - and amazing. Varied in style but tight on voice and succinctly thematic, the poems in Heather Taylor-Johnson’s seventh collection concern themselves with the astonishing and regular connection between the body and its surroundings - the social, political, cultural and environmental. The poems unsettle and hope, they reach and cling, and the outcome is a book as playful as it is full of weight.
