About this title

Synopsis

If Alice landed in London not Wonderland this book might be the result. Threads is the first collection from Nathan Evans, each poem complemented by a bespoke photograph from Justin David and, like Tenniel’s illustrations for Carroll, picture and word weft and warp to create an alchemic (rabbit) whole. On one page, the image of an alien costume, hanging surreally beside a school uniform on a washing line, accompanies a poem about fleeing suburbia. On another, a poem about seeking asylum accompanies the image of another displaced alien on an urban train. Spun from heartfelt emotion and embroidered with humour, Threads will leave you aching with longing and laughter. Nathan is a writer and director of theatre and film. Justin is a photographer and writer living and working in East London. Threads is the debut publication from Inkandescent. ‘A winning blend of words and images, woven with passion and wit’ PAUL BURSTON ‘Two boldly transgressive poetic voices’ MARISA CARNESKY ‘In this bright and beautiful collaboration, poetry and photography join hands, creating sharp new ways to picture our lives and loves. Every page delighted me.’ NEIL BARTLETT
