Description

Whip-hot & Grippy is a collection of poems that explore the complexities of modern life. Through a series of long-form and sequenced poems, Heather Phillipson navigates themes such as identity, politics, and human relationships. Disjointed tangents are punctuated by recurring elements of consumer culture, advertising, and media, creating a sense of disorientation and discontent. The book's tone is often humorous, yet also confronts the darker aspects of contemporary society. A key work in this collection is 'more flinching', which brings together two seemingly disparate events: the death of a military dog and that of a pet dog. Heather Phillipson's second collection, Whip-hot & Grippy, follows her highly praised debut, Instant-flex 718. As an artist, she has also gained recognition for her work, including the installation of 'The End' on Trafalgar Square's Fourth Plinth in 2020.
