WINNER OF THE T S ELIOT PRIZE 2021. The female body is a political
space. C+nto enters the private lives of women from the butch
counterculture, telling the inside story of the protests they led in the
'90s to reclaim their bodies as their own - their difficult balance
between survival and self-expression.
History, magic, rebellion,
party and sermon vibrate through Joelle Taylor's cantos to uncover
these underground communities forged by women. Part-memoir and
part-conjecture, Taylor explores sexuality and gender in poetry that is
lyrical, expansive, imagistic, epic and intimate. C+nto is a love poem, a
riot, a late night, and an honouring.
