Synopsis

Beasts Labial addresses the human beast. Using the oral tradition, Stephen Lawrence explores the living body, which bleeds, sweats, feels emotion, can be violated, wounded. The poems adopt voices - female and male - to examine our physical nature, and what makes us human. 'Outstanding ...A real poetic talent, an impressive technical command of a wide range of poetic areas, and yet with an immediate assurance of personal literary voice.' - Thomas Shapcott 'Beasts Labial is ingenious, with each poem being a discovery in new and often unexpected terrain.' - Heather Cam
