Book description
The poems in Cowboy are knowing, millennial, internet-sick, funny, with deep currents - of embodied and disembodied spiritualities; familial mythologies; grief and longing; navigating diagnoses; early and enduring disappointment; the wildness underneath the smooth glass-and-chrome surfaces of contemporary life.The echo of a question permeates the collection - where does a person grow up? - moving restlessly between rural Wales, London and the American South; between the esoteric spaces of the internet; between the artlessness of childhood and adolescence transfigured inexplicably into a disquieting adulthood, with its attendant weirdness of rent-paying, cohabiting, the churn of mindless work and alienation.The generous abundance of Cowboy's references - memes, early noughties television shows, pop songs, cities and their suburbs, video games - bring anxiety and pressure, joy and glory to this singularly impressive debut.

This app has introduced me to genres I never thought I'd enjoy – it's eye-opening. ListenBook's basic audio filters enhance my listening experience and make it uniquely mine. Good for background listening. I didn’t get fully immersed, but it was pleasant enough to have on while doing chores. The narrator’s voice was easy to listen to, even if the delivery lacked some energy. A textbook example of great audiobook narration! The performer's diction was flawless, their pacing ideal, and their emotional range impressive. I never felt like I was being "read to" but rather like I was experiencing the story firsthand. The audio engineering was equally professional.
