OUT NOW, marking the 21st poetry collection from Life Before Man: The Strange Matter by Ali Jane Smith.

‧₊𖡎🍵 ༘ ೋ

The Strange Matter spans streets and gardens, books and films, people and things, creating a landscape that feels both familiar and surreal. Sometimes the language is sharp, sometimes lavish, documenting life as a waking dream, a relentless exploration of the everyday. Smith writes, ‘It is a relief to turn thoughts and feelings into a poem. Sometimes it is like making a chair, and sometimes it is like smashing concrete with a crowbar.’ Here, the chair might wobble, the cracks in the concrete twist like rivers. They take you somewhere, or tell you something.

Interested in the ties between the political and the personal? Michela Marzano (@michelamarzano) is one of Italy’s leading political theorists and writers across forms, and her memoir SHAME SHADOWS MY NAME is out from Gazebo Books next month!

Born in Rome in 1970, Marzano studied at the Normale Superiore in Pisa and since 1998 has been living in Paris, France, where she teaches moral philosophy at the Université Paris Descartes. Her fiction and non-fiction books have been translated from Italian and French into many other languages.

SHAME SHADOWS MY NAME (translated by Gila Walker), Marzano’s reckoning with her buried family history and the nature of complicity, won Italy’s Mondello Prize in 2022. Stay tuned for news about its arrival in Australia and NZ…
