Gutted, Evie Christie's powerful and harrowing debut, pulses with the rhythms
of life, loss, and love. Energized with the language of now and the wide scope
of popular culture, while dwelling in Yeats' "foul rag and bone shop of the
heart" - a world where needs are unfulfilled and passions unrequited (or
worse) - it also manages to revel in the beauty of fragility and discover awe
in the smallest things. Depictions of alcoholism and sex contrast with scenes
of contented domesticity; questions of faith stand in counterpoint to the
harsher realities of pornography and violence. Lovers, friends, family, and
strangers play an equal part in shaping these sharply barbed observations,
fleshing out the typically unseen and unspoken dramas of both small town and
urban existence. From out of "an anarchy of conventional process" comes Evie
Christie's stunning, original observations - because despite the searing and
sometimes controversial themes, this is essentially love poetry - the kind
that will leave your "heart plundered, hands lifted, gutted."
