Exotic Matter – PRE-PUB OFFER

In Exotic Matter Magdalena Ball’s poems move between the eucalypt and the human cell, the mycelial web and the microbiome, to ask where one body ends and another begins. Elegy meets field notes, childhood meets cosmology, and decay becomes a form of intimacy rather than loss — insisting that nothing exists in isolation.

… Magdalena Ball gives us superb poetry of warm and clear-eyed attention deeply grounded in the body. With finely-honed language, Ball invites us to experience how, in the tragic acceleration of the Anthropocene, our personal stories and planetary narratives converse with each other. Welcoming hope beyond shame, these poems act brilliantly to slow and transform us.   Anne Elvey
