Cowboy

‘A truly dazzling debut, full of utterly inventive and original work … Walker’s voice is at once razor sharp and enigmatic, a sophisticated blend of control and swagger that gives the collection an assurance beyond its years.’ - Jane Yeh‘A phenomenal debut. Walker’s voice speaks so sharply not just to this generation but also to generations past and to whatever will follow.’ - Gboyega Odubanjo‘Cowboy is breathtaking in its depth, rootedness and conjurings … Kandace Siobhan Walker’s exquisite touch both harnesses and transforms tradition. Certainly one of the best poets of her generation.’ - Lillian Allen, Poet Laureate of Toronto‘Electrifying, shocking even .. attuned precisely to the slippery present moment, reminding us that a poem might awaken something important or urgent within.’ - Richard Scott
