Fran Lock Boeken

Lyric essays by Fran Lock on subject of the Feral in context of queer, Irish, Gypsy Romani Traveler, working class people and women.

"White/ Other is a strange hybrid beast - part poetry, part polemic, part sectarian graffiti - a long lyric essay that grapples with the complexities of writing and living from the position of the absent subject: that is the white working-class "other" within neo-liberal culture. White/ Other is memoir remixed, cut up and spliced with passages of cultural analysis and moments of feral lyric riff to ask what it means to be politically reviled, socially abjected, and economically disenfranchised, alive at the sharp end of everything, language included." -- publisher's description
