Love / All That / & Ok

Love / All That /& OK, an anti-confessional by experimental British poet Emily Critchley. This major new publication brings together a diverse range of work previously published in chapbooks since 2004, and includes new material from the sequences 'Poems for Luke', 'The Sonnets' and 'Poems for Other People'. REVIEWS 'Really intelligent, coquette, fuck-you work ... a space for a new kind of anti-misogynism in poetry.' Marianne Morris 'I think the project is high electrics and considerable. I particularly care for the frailty and edges of coherence loss. It's the intelligent frays that push under my thought and matter most.' Allen Fisher " Critchley's] writing addresses love and gender politics with surprising directness, albeit mostly through misdirection, and though the book is couched as an 'anti-confessional', it strikes me as more of a kind of ironic examination of the confessional mode and its place in women's poetry."
