Poetry Launch - Physical by Andrew McMillan

Join us at Gay's The Word to celebrate publication of a fierce new talent in poetry: Andrew McMillan - All welcome to this FREE, standing book launch event. Physical Shortlisted for the 2015 Forward Prize for Best First Collection Raw and urgent, these poems are hymns to the male body to male friendship and male love muscular, sometimes shocking, but always deeply moving. We are witness here to an almost religious celebration of the flesh: a flesh vital with the vulnerability of love and loss, to desire and its departure. In an extraordinary blend of McMillans own colloquial Yorkshire rhythms with a sinewy, Metaphysical music and Thom Gunns torque and speed
