We Obey the Same Laws of Mathematics

By Sarah Grace Logan

'We obey the same laws of mathematics' is a chapbook of thirteen poems by author Sarah Grace Logan. This debut collection features a baker’s dozen of ocean-going poems, riddled with syphilitic beauty and speculative horrors. From lonesome shores to the mid-Atlantic refuse sprawl, Sarah Grace Logan imagines the world dissolving in front of us, and the ocean claiming back the world we've clawed from its depths. Her poetry discusses love, feminism, extinction and climate change, and challenges human privilege over nature.

The author lives and works in Manchester, and is fascinated with exploring gender and identity in her writing. She started writing poetry in 2013 and recently won the Prole Laureate Poetry Prize 2014 with her poem 'Not all bees make honey'. She has also published a chapbook of flash fiction called 'Humping the Boonies'.

Praise for Humping the Boonies (flash fiction chapbook):
“Haunting and sexy in equal measures. Every story is a little mystery that left me wanting more.”
“Her characters are always interesting and deeply layered, and real.”

Sarah Grace Logan

Sarah Grace commands an armada of literary pirates that has ridden the third wave of feminism and is becalmed on a reef of prose poetry and intersectionality. She will heave off soon in search of rougher waters, because she is a wordshark, and to stop moving forwards would be death.She writes prose, poetry, novels and scripts, and loves hard sci-fi just as much as historical fiction, along with a whole range of genres in between. Her obsessions in writing are gender, identity and sexuality, along with aspects of the natural world; insects, earthquakes and the ocean.
