Callie Gardner is a poet, critic, and editor of Zarf poetry magazine based in Glasgow. Their book Poetry & Barthes appeared from Liverpool University Press in 2018, and Naturally it is not is their first book of poetry.
Callie Gardner's debut collection Naturally it is not: a poem in four letters is a remarkable work written between the Spring Equinox of 2016 and the Spring Equinox of 2017. It is a work that moves between form, part lyric, part manifesto, part essay. Gardner's poetry here is a truly unique blend of avant-garde rhetoric, utopian politics, and elemental alchemy. A timely work that engages anew with 'the natural' and 'the cultural' in an era marked by the increasing irrelevance of the four-season cycle of the year under climate change.
