Giramondo Publishing | An Independent Australian Literary Publisher

No Document is an urgent, groundbreaking book-length essay that reimagines the boundaries that divide us – as people, nations and species – and asks how we can create forms of solidarity that endure.

Unanimal, Counterfeit, Scurrilous is a work of wild erudition and rococo elaboration, a collection of poems that loosely channels the dynamic of desire and inhibition in Thomas Mann’s novella Death in Venice.
