Selected Poems 2009-2021

This substantial selection of Roz Kaveney's poems covers everything from her provocative and often raunchy translations of Catullus, her reflections, raw and considered, from a life very fully lived, on trans and queer/lgbtq+ experiences and politics, a playful engagement with figures from history and mythology - Sappho, Lilith, Aphrodite, Cassandra, Hecuba; commentary on pressing topical issues such as Grenfell and #MeToo, and poignant encomia to dead friends, loved ones and artists of note - Kathy Acker, Iain Banks, Robert Mapplethorpe.

Classical in form, these poems are readable, accessible, erudite and thought-provoking by turn.

Among many other works, Roz is the author of the Lambda Literary Award-winning cult novel of trans street life, Tiny Pieces of Skull, also available from Team Angelica Publishing, and the Lambda-nominated Dialectic of the Flesh.
