ABOUT EOAGH

EOAGH publishes contemporary poetry and criticism (innovative, experimental, avant garde, queer). We publish books as well as a yearly journal. We are concerned with reading as a process, the productive chaos of investigative poetic work. These acts of attention explore the close listening inherent not just in writing but also in being written. Inspired by Whitman's assertion that "Reading is a gymnast's act," we see readings as embodied, interdisciplinary responses that engage with one's environment through ekphrasis, phenomenology, queering, conceptual multiplicity, density and difficulty.
