Publisher's Synopsis
"Waterworks is a rich archive of paradoxical water studies deriving from aqua-philia and aqua-phobia, compulsion and aversion. Eros and Thanatos. Death- and life drive, pushing us, too, to immerse, into the currents of water's catastrophic present and apocalyptic future through a genre bending literary awesomeness; a beautiful liquified collage of poetry, theory and poetic prose written for the planet." Ágnes Lehóczky (Senior Lecturer at the University of Sheffield; her latest poetry collection: Swimming Pool (Shearsman)
