Comprised of fragments, dreams, journal entries, and notes from friends, Austerity is a glimpse into a few years of the author’s life. — Gina Myers at Hyperallergic
Marion Bell’s first book, Austerity, is poetry written through and against neoliberal demands, “committed to what can only be approached by trust which is impossible to imagine after the things we’ve lived thru.” In conversation with friends, activists and philosophers, these poems explore love, intimacy, queer liberation, and time. What takes shape is a music “that happens also / while looking for work / so you can keep living / to undo / what work does.”
