Kat Dixon

eat the glitter is an irreverent, lyrical exploration of queer love, modern culture, and a post-pandemic world. Tender yet cynical, this pamphlet nudges at the discomfort of art, capitalism, social contracts and the disconcerting remnants of lockdown in our lives. Amidst Kat Dixon's poetry lies an undercurrent of vulnerability, an acute and sensitive awareness of the world's complexities and contradictions.

In her second full-length poetry collection, Dixon layers themes of depression and domesticity within images that drift and recur as waves do. Black Racket Ocean plays with rhyme and rhythm to expose a melancholy that is at times soothing and jarring.
