Synopsis

Narcissus, from 2021 OCM Bocas Prize winner Andre Bagoo, is a typically brilliant work of poetry bringing together strands of the queer, nature, and the Narcissus myth, whether in ekphrasis or otherwise. In this powerful collection, Bagoo aexamines the varied dynamics of the body and mind with the narcissism of the soul, while fully embracing the work of art as a critical reflection on the human condition.

He was awarded The Charlotte and Isidor Paiewonsky Prize in 2017.His essay collection, The Undiscovered Country, was published by Peepal Tree Press in 2020 and won the 2021 OCM Bocas Prize for Non-Fiction. His fiction debut, The Dreaming, is forthcoming from Peepal Tree."Any book of queer stories with a Kate Bush title reference has a lot to live up to, but Bagoo's collection-witty, intelligent, humane-is so inventive, so full of surprises at every turn, that I found myself wanting to return to his voice again and again. Bagoo is working out queer cultural concerns in an honest way here, and it's truly exciting to witness his rare talent developing with each story. Read this now."- GARRARD CONLEY, AUTHOR OF BOY ERASED, ON THE DREAMING"A manifesto, a literary criticism, a personal chronicle of literary life, a book of days, a stage wherein famous writers such as Walcott, Thomas, Gunn, Espada, and others become actors, The Undiscovered Country discovers many things, but one thing for sure: Andre Bagoo is a fearless, brilliant mind. He can take us from the formal critical perspective to new futurist "visual essay", to verse essay, to sweeping historical account that is unafraid to go as far in time as Columbus and as urgently-of-our moment as Brexit-all of it with precision and attentiveness to detail that is as brilliant as it is startling. Bravo."- ILYA KAMINSKY ON THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY"Bagoo's understated music combines with striking imagery; subtle and various, he explores attachments, delusions, obsessions, hauntings, rituals, griefs and dreams."- MICHAEL LOVEDAY REVIEWS BURN IN MAGMA
