Warm Blooded Things Av Shaun Hill

<p>Shaun Hill’s debut poetry collection,<i> </i><i>warm blooded things </i>is a radical and intimate encounter with boyhood, sexuality, and violence, love, desire and solitude. Wandering the nocturnal city streets, through random encounters, co-opting space and capturing conversations in a multitude of voices, this collection evokes alienation whilst longing for tenderness. </p><p>Hill’s agile poems are alive to fear, loss and danger. The poems also explore a uniquely queer archive of time and place, the legacy of AIDS, and draw strength from giving voice to unheard histories. Seeking sanctuary and alternatives to a capitalist reality, these precise poems gesture towards hope, survival and the necessity to be responsible for one another.</p><p>“Shaun Hill is one of my favourite performers, his poems charged with vulnerability and raw intimacy. Now <i>warm blooded things</i> offers us this same tender gift."<b>– Liz Berry</b></p>
