This is an absolutely searing poetry collection that taps deep into the corrupt racist heart of Brexit Britain and exposes the lies, hypocrisy and rotten deals that have allowed us to reach this point. Transfeminist in its outlook the collection queers language and through the experimental, fractured faultlines of the poems expresses brilliantly the trauma and dislocation felt by the bodies under attack in this moment. The play of language was delicious, with fantastically illuminating compound words utilised to convey ideas such as ‘fearstats’, ‘borderfort’, ‘fossildreams’, ‘Governmen’, ‘workmind’, or ‘wagespace’ for example. Like a kind of doublespeak but in reverse they reveal the true meanings behind neolib spin. Brilliant.
