Eliot Prize-shortlisted poet Fran Lock pulls us with her into the vortex of the `feral'. From medieval bestiaries to Poundland, Edmund Spenser to X-Ray Spex, in Vulgar Errors \/ Feral Subjects Lock explores and eviscerates historical and cultural links between animality and otherness in contexts ranging across class, gender, queerness and Irishness. Overflowing with `strange rigour' and a rage that is `tempering hope' Lock excavates the ways feral is at once both trap and means of liberation.   `Fran Lock is our savvy sc\/avenging angel, undoing the curse of racial capitalism's stranglehold on language and meaning. Mattering out of place, Vulgar Errors \/ Feral Subjects is endlessly errant, reminding us that writing is \"a verb, not a noun,\" immersive, propulsive and absolutely extra. Every line is so alive, so completely itself, it leaps from the page to flare bright \u0026amp; huge as graffiti on every wall until they fall.' - So Mayer\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56304059875701,"sku":"9781739265281","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781739265281.jpg?v=1762795433","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781739265281","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
