The Rot

$24.99

Description

The scorching, much-anticipated new book from the winner of the 2022 Stella Prize for Dropbear

The Rot is a recalcitrant study of the decaying romances, expired hopes and abject injustices of the world. A liturgy for girlhood in the dying days of late-stage capitalism, these poems expose fraying nerves and tendons of a speaker refusing to avert their gaze from the death of Country, death on Country, and the bloody violence of settler colonies here and afar. Across sleepless nights, fractured alliances and self-destructive coping strategies, The Rot is what happens when poetry swallows more rage than it can console, quiet or ironise – this book demands you ready yourself for a better world.

I just received my order and wanted to say thank you for getting it sent out so quickly. I have bought from your shop a few times now and the orders always come within a few days (which is great because I sometimes buy last minute gifts!). But also wanted to say that the shop is great because I know I will always be buying products that are made not only by artists but women which is something I love to support. happy customers.
