    About this ebook

    Words fail but the voice struggles on.The culmination of a decade’s worth of performance poetry, Roadworthy Creature, Roadworthy Craft is Kate Magill’s first full-length publication. In lines that are sinewy yet delicate, Magill’s poems explore the terrain where idea and action meet, where bodies and words commingle to form a strange new flesh, a breathing text, an “I” that spirals outward from itself.

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life
