£10.00
AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER. RELEASE DATE 16 OCTOBER
In Sad Boys Are Not My Kink, desire and identity pulse through a charged landscape of memory and longing. These poems trace the contours of friendship, art and the body with sharp intimacy and quiet urgency. Moving seamlessly between the everyday and the ethereal, they explore the fractures and connections that shape how we see ourselves and others. This is a collection about the spaces we inhabit – the absences, silences and invisible threads that hold us together – and the fierce, unapologetic ways we refuse to be diminished by them.
“Admoni lays out all the complexity and self-sabotage of the human mind in poems that are smart, funny, honest and formally ingenious.” Joe Dunthorne
“It’s always a thrill to discover poetry like Admoni’s – deadly serious and deeply funny, courageously honest on love, longing, sex and death, the imagination intrinsic to the real. I cannot recommend this collection highly enough.”
Luke Kennard
“These poems ache with longing. They explore the rich textures of yearning, restlessly searching for forms to fit a tumult of feeling.” Thomas McMullan
“In this inventive collection, Admoni offers us a compelling question: ‘do you continue to pull at the threads, or do you leave it alone?’ The answer for poets is always... pull at the threads. See what happens. The result here is a brilliantly controlled unravelling. Admoni had me at the title, but the poems more than live up to that promise.” Helen Mort
