Book Launch: Homography

Nathan Evans is joined by guests including poets Ellen McAteer & Piero Toto, plus musicians Kate Conway & Zia Moranne, for an evening of readings to celebrate the launch of his new collection.

‘poems burst from these pages like a ferocious bouquet’ JOHN McCULLOUGH

Homography: mapping multiple perspectives of a single subject; words with same form, different meaning (see gay); homosexual history approached through autobiography; projective transformation (from personal to political plane); third poetry collection from the Polari Prize longlisted host of Bold Queer Poetry Soirée, edited by TS Eliot Prize winner Joelle Taylor.

‘poems that both enlighten and entertain are golden, and this collection shines’ RICK DOVE

George Michael, Freddie Mercury, Derek Jarman and the Royal Vauxhall Tavern are just some of the icons you’ll find within poems exploring queer heritage through queer relationships, using imagery drawn from the natural world and the underworld of fetish, in forms as diverse as the LGBTQ+ community, with humour, hope and honesty.

‘Homography is poetic celebration of queer life, a joyful bending of language, a sheer delight.’ KATRINA NAOMI
