Three Births by K Patrick
An extraordinary and playful debut collection by one of Granta's Best of Young British Novelists, exploring the joy and fluidity of queer love.
This is a shrine of a collection on which are placed small offerings of fever, masculinity, thrumming sex, belief, and ecstasySurreal and cinematic - an absolute thrill of a read, and an instant LGBT classic -- Joelle Taylor
Three Births tears apart our established conceptions of personal history and reimagines multiple forms of bodily transformations in a world buzzing with gender politics and overshadowed by the climate crisis. Shamelessly self-mocking, K Patrick writes with an incendiary sense of humour. These strange, erotic, unsentimental poems have a rebellious energy drawn from a sharp eye and diction -- Kit Fan
