by Brad Beau Cohen (Author)
Sugar Water is "a queer morphology of a liquid lyric", telling of dangerous lovers, surviving sexual violence, reclaiming one's sensuality and inheriting trauma.
In this debut, Cohen attempts to bend the materiality of language while conjuring up fragrant, hostile and delicious imagery at every turn.
"These poems are bold, off-kilter and surreal examinations of queer life and desire..." - Richard Scott, author of Soho (Faber)
"These are poems to float on, to drown in[...] To read Sugar Water is to savour the spirit of what is fresh in current poetry." -Ella Duffy, author of Rootstalk (Hazel Press) and New Hunger (Smith Doorstop)
