Inspired by the liquidity and liminality of existence, soak is a surreal and sensual body of work, capturing both the darkness and light of human experience. Exploring her place as mother, lover, daughter, granddaughter, sister, friend ñ this poetic collection of searing honesty and tender truth, invites the reader to suspend reality and enter Isadoraís private world of revelation, confession, forgiveness, ferocity and ultimate redemption.
A fantastic anthology that discusses the female form, motherhood, but also random feelings and emotions. Written by a theatre-maker, I of course appreciated this book even more.
The photography pages complimented the prose beautifully and I thought it was a great collection overall. There were also so many wonderful quotes in it, and I could see this being performed as a one-woman Fringe show. Definitely one of my favourite anthologies I’ve read in recent times for artists, female-identifying artists and contemporary audiences.
