About the Book
Parenthetical Bodies explores queerness and transgressive bodies. Hope glimmers and shakes as Alex Gallagher entwines tenderness and heartache, surfing dogs and estrogen pills.Book Synopsis
Parenthetical Bodies by Alex Gallagher holds you close and says "it's okay, things are weird". These poems are about what it takes to be in and amongst bodies, to be loving and empathetic in the internet age, or to survive in a city being slowly crushed under the weight of its own housing bubble.
Parenthetical Bodies explores queerness and transgressive bodies. Hope glimmers and shakes as Gallagher entwines tenderness and heartache, surfing dogs and estrogen pills. Gallagher's debut collection is packed with writing that is instantly loveable and as eviscerating as it is gentle.
Review Quotes
"Just as identity is relational (it is made with/by your community) and ancestral, in collaboration with an internal felt sense of who you are, I see Parenthetical Bodies in a web-structure of literature from punk-queers and dry-humoured sad loners, creating space for other (othered) bodies and experiences." - Frankie Hanman Siegersma, Australian Poetry
