Tonguit

By Harry Josephine Giles

Shortlisted for the Forward Prize ’s 2016 debut-collection award, Harry Giles’ Tonguit is a moving exploration of identity in Scots, English, and bureaucracy. Politically radical and formally inventive,

Tonguit plays at the borders of nationality and sexuality with irreverent affection, questing through languages for a place to speak.

By Harry Josephine Giles

Harry Josephine Giles is from Orkney, Scotland. They write and perform work across poetry, theatre and games, and their work generally happens in the crunchy places where performance and politics get muddled up. They were the 2009 BBC Scotland slam champion , co-direct the live art platform Anatomy, and have toured participatory performances across Europe, North America, New Zealand and Leith. www.harrygiles.org
