Synopsis

A Scotsman Poetry Book of the Year

Them! by Harry Josephine Giles is an exuberant collection of poems about trans life as it is lived today, through the lenses of work, technology and ecology.

Witty, candid, furious, and always compelling, Them! negotiates the fraught and fruitful space between the worlds of 'online' and the 'outside', and how they fuse and diverge in the imagination.

Giles' visual poetics create an unusually dynamic reading experience as she finds new ways 'to sing, shout and strike in the cracks of what's possible'. At a time when trans rights are to the fore in public discourse, Them! is a zestful poetic intervention from one of this generation's most necessary poets.

'A bold and inimitable tour-de-force' - Guardian
