‘This debut is hilarious, moving and dazzlingly new ... Cowboy marks the entry of a significant and exciting new voice into British poetry.’
Rebecca Tamás, the Guardian
‘A truly dazzling debut, full of utterly inventive and original work … Walker’s voice is at once razor sharp and enigmatic, a sophisticated blend of control and swagger that gives the collection an assurance beyond its years.’
Jane Yeh
‘Cowboy is breathtaking in its depth, rootedness and conjurings ... Kandace Siobhan Walker [is] certainly one of the best poets of her generation.’
Lillian Allen, Poet Laureate of Toronto
Cowboy
The poems in Cowboy are knowing, millennial, internet - sick, funny, but there are deeper undercurrents, too: of embodied and disembodied spiritualities; of the knowledge of animals; of familial mythologies; of grief and longing; of autism and navigating diagnoses; of early and enduring disappointment; of the wildness underneath the smooth glass - and - chrome surfaces of contemporary life.
