Comic Timing, Holly Pester's remarkable debut collection of poems, vividly captures the essence of living and working as a radical and resilient act. These poems skillfully navigate the realms of politics and personal experiences through distinctive, fragmented, and illusory turns of phrase. With a unique and imaginative voice, Holly delves into the margins of society, exploring themes such as marginal bodies, landlords, bog butter, desire, domestic and civic spaces.
Through her poetic lens, she chronicles the prevailing mood of our times, unearthing radical and anarchic histories to present a collection of political resistance that blends absurdity with seriousness. These poems engage in a playful interrogation of societal expectations within a commodified culture, employing a wry humor to challenge and subvert norms.
Combining a beautifully performed naivety with a profound intellect, this collection takes a highly original approach to a range of pressing issues. Worker's rights, feminism, reproductive rights, and the positions of marginalized bodies are all thoughtfully explored in this startling and innovative voice. Comic Timing is a testament to Holly Pester's talent for blending humor, insight, and social commentary, making it a must-read for those seeking a fresh and thought-provoking perspective on contemporary life.
