A wildfire blazing free' BERNARDINE EVARISTO 'Kaleidoscopic in its breath, structure and humanity . . . Both selfless and intimate' ANTHONY JOSEPH -----------------------------------------------------  From the T. S. Eliot and Polari Prize-winning author of C+NTO \u0026amp; Othered Poems comes an innovative collection exploring the scars, hopes and potentialities of dyke counterculture and the queer underground.  With a vividly sketched cast of characters, award-winning poet Joelle Taylor uses the Maryville butch bar as a lens through which to consider the underground histories of queer London. The violence and pain of oppression and the beauty and intimacy of community are rendered in awe-inspiring high definition in a collection as filmic as it is familiar. A hybrid chronicle, magic trick, prayer and insurrection, Maryville conjures ghosts back to their bodies, a community to their feet.  ----------------------------------------------------- 'Sexy, fearless – and ravishingly beautiful' NEIL BARTLETT 'One of the most powerful voices of our time . . . Joelle Taylor is a genius' CACONRAD","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53673235710225,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781526680488.jpg?v=1781524232","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-maryville-by-joelle-taylor","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
