Skirting arranges poems in columns that provide multiple reading routes, giving the reader opportunities to make and create a series of ways to engage with and understand the text. This system of arranging and rearranging the poem is explored within the texts too, these poems circle around their subject without naming the events explored. The poems skirt around a figure, event and thoughts, trying to get close to a difficult subject without being able to fully articulate or fix it to the page. Skirting is many attempts at using language to describe and locate.

Industry Reviews

No survey of contemporary poetry can be complete without the work of Nathan Walker - their project of poetic embodiment feels entirely singular. In their search for "a language that embodies the events" , these are poems which speak towards their own definition of queerness- "to make possible".

- Andrew McMillan

Nathan Walker's Skirting held me in the impossible intimate enduring power of poetry by all other means putting pressure on board skirted subjects meaning skirting subjects in weighted light. Twirling. It reshapes my mouth. So now. In other words, you need to read this."

- Kimberly Campanello
