This month, something new from the ever-excellent Tapsalteerie Press - Ian Macartney (formerly of this parish) and Maria Sledmere will be introducing their new work, 'languishing, cute'
"'languishing, cute' presents a collection of jittery missives that propels the speculative Scottish canon of Morgan, Gray & Mitchison into a maximalist ‘high femme goth surrealism’ via hyperpop, Celtic futurism and digital culture. Here the poets tend towards e-pistolary contemplations of retro-adolescence, fizzy ecology and mercurial slippy gurlhood as they complicate notions of Scottish identity, nationhood, ecology, nostalgia and more." (Richard Price)
“languishing, cute is a collection with all its push notifications turned on that still finds headspace to pay attention to form and poetic inheritance.” (Iain Morrison)
