Threads
by Nathan Evans & Justin David
Description
If Alice had landed in London not Wonderland, Threads might be the result: each poem by Nathan Evans is complemented with a bespoke photograph from Justin David and, like Tenniel’s illustrations for Carroll, picture and text warp and weft to create an alchemic (rabbit) whole.
On one page, the image of a floating frock, urban skyline spattered in its virgin hem, accompanies a poem about a city brought to blissful standstill by snowfall. On another, a poem about fleeing straightjacket suburbia accompanies the image of an alien costume, hanging on a washing line beside a school uniform. Spun from heartfelt emotion and embroidered with humour, Threads will leave you aching with longing and with laughter.

Author Biography
Nathan is best known for his comical and political work in theatre and film, but his poetry is more personal, threaded with themes of sexuality, mortality, love and nature. Written over a period of twenty years, the poems have been remixed under the mentorship of award-winning poet Katrina Naomi.
Justin is best known for his baroque figurative work, and signature renderings of cabaret stars Benjamin Louche and Fancy Chance thread through the collection between more abstract and unusual settings.
