Books by Tiffany Atkinson

How might poetry help us articulate the body in illness, in work, and in love? Tiffany Atkinson's fourth collection includes her sequence 'Dolorimeter', which takes fragments of speech and found text from a hospital residency to pay homage to the inventiveness and humour of patients and staff in meditations on the notion that pain resists language.

What do we mean when we talk about 'the body'? The essays collected here foreground the historical construction of 'the body' throughout a range of discourses from the modern to the postmodern, and seek to present it not as a biological 'given', but as a contestable signifier in the articulation of identities.

Third collection by one of Britain's foremost younger poets, winner of the Roland Mathias Poetry Award (Wales Book of the Year).

Second collection summoning up the sensual and scandalous spirit of the Latin poet Catullus but with a female protagonist. Catulla et al was shortlisted for the Roland Mathias Poetry Award (Wales Book of the Year).
