CNUT Summary

CNUT by Nathan Evans

Evans' debut, Threads-a collaboration with photographer Justin David also published by Inkandescent-was longlisted for the Polari First Book Prize. His follow-up bears the watermarks of someone who's swum life's emotional spectrum. Some poems barely contain their righteous anger within visceral verse - 'The old are eating the young / in great Goya gobfuls'. Others, such as What the Cat Dragged Back, examine subtler sentiments: in response to your partner picking up a lover for you to share, for instance - 'I rub damp fur, wondering / which disco dustbin / you picked this one up in / and how best to dispose of him'. Short and (bitter)sweet, this is poetry for a mobile generation, poetry for sharing - often humorous and always honest about contemporary human experience. Exploring issues such as climate crisis, Brexit, gentrification and the rise of populist politics, these poems say more in a few lines than politicians say in volumes and offer an antidote to modern living.

CNUT Reviews

Evans' poetry addresses vital issues of our time, such as the climate crisis, with biting wit, seething passion & electrifying skill - Matthew Todd, author of Straight Jacket & Pride; Story weaving and poetically burrowing, CNUT is a universal backyard collection of the urban/urbane reimagined, of the domestic/fantastic retold, of the ravishingly re-readable - Gerry Potter; CNUT is a kaleidoscopic journey through shifting landscapes, brimming with vivid imagery, playfulness and warmth. A truly powerful work! - Keith Jarrett
