Charismatic Megafauna: The sacred, the profane and the prophetic come together in this stylish debut collection of poetry by Tamsin Kendrick.
In Charismatic megafauna Kendrick ponders the romantic potential of Peter Pan and Captain Hook, liberates Mr Tumnus from his snow bound Narnia, composes urgent communiques from a post-apocalyptic city, and documents the struggle to find love.
Kendrick's unique poetry is characterised by vivid, surreal imagery, brimming with references to myth, legend and pop culture, and underpinned by a genuine, if fraught, search for the divine.
