C+nto & Othered Poems

Winner of theT.S. Eliot Prize 2021 -Signed editionThe female body is a political space.<em>C+nto</em>enters the private lives of women from the butch counterculture, telling the inside story of the protests they led in the '90s to reclaim their bodies as their own - their difficult balance between survival and self-expression. History, magic, rebellion, party and sermon vibrate through Joelle Taylor's cantos to uncover these underground communities forged by women. Part-memoir and part-conjecture, Taylor explores sexuality and gender in poetry that is lyrical, expansive, imagistic, epic and intimate.<em>C+nto</em>is a love poem, a riot, a late night, and an honouring.
