Memorial edition of the late Callie Gardner's only full-length poetry collection.

/>

/>Callie Gardner's Naturally, It Is Not is a modern classic. Written between the Spring Equinoxes of 2016 and 2017, this is a collection that moves between forms, shifting seasonally through the year in four extended letter-poems.

/>

/>This memorial edition, in light of Callie's tragic passing in 2021, expands upon the 2018 publication including a tribute from CA Conrad, and critical essays from Iain Morrison and Nat Raha that engage with Callie's experimentation, lyric voice, queerness, and intellectual rigour.

/>

/>Ultimately, radical sociality and utopian politics undergird Callie's extraordinary contribution to contemporary poetry, of which Naturally, It Is Not remains their only completed full-length collection.
