Manatomy is a collection of wry, witty and cheeky poems exploring how nature, nurture, pop culture, prejudice and politics shape the identity of camp gay man James McDermott.

Structured in three parts â" âBoyâ, âYouthâ and âManâ â" Manatomy interrogates how the experiences of growing up gay in a homophobic world and in rural millennial England affect a gay manâs relationships with himself, his partners, the LGBTQ+ community and the wider world.
