Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine. Nat’s work is a creopolitan post-punk writing, in which queer and trans bodies stage their dis/appearance, refusing legibility in dominant forms of appearance, feeling, syntax, language or sound. The work deploys the ‘niner’: a contemporary poetic form, invented by the poet Mendoza, rooted in containment and expansion through sequences and re-ordering — a truncated ‘sonnot’. In the form of the nine, obsession and compulsion meets mathematics in the undergrowth of modern poetry. Furthermore, in the hour of fascism, all aspects of art and existence may need to be weaponised, to offer new and old modes of resistance in living, and to valorise what has been forgotten.
