Description
Patience Agbabi's Transformatrix is a powerful exploration of women, travel and metamorphosis. Drawing inspiration from 90s poetry, 80s rap and 70s disco, this collection celebrates literary form while offering a telling commentary on late twentieth century Britain. Through her unique voice and honesty, intelligence and wit, Agbabi creates a self-portrait that is both potent and moving. With Transformatrix, she follows in the footsteps of her critically acclaimed debut R.A.W., taking readers on a journey of transformation and discovery. This collection is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in contemporary poetry and the experiences of women in Britain during this period.
