Author: Peter Scalpello'Limbic' is Peter Scalpello’s glittering ode to sex, intimacy, and queer discovery. Taking us on slippery nights out fuelled by chemsex, on drunken lads’ hol idays, and into the quiet violence of small domestic moments, this is a world where tracksuits hide queer desire, where shame masks vulnerability, where wallets hide wraps of crystal meth. An exploration of masculinity, addiction and trauma, this is a revelatory collection of poems; wise, tender, and vital. From the eager trepidation of teenage sex, to the ecstasy of parties, to the stigma around HIV, 'Limbic' is at once a therapy and a celebration, showing how queer learning can be both soft-edged and brutal at once.
