Longlisted for the Polari First Book Prize 2021 Manatomy is a collection of wry, witty and cheeky poems exploring how nature, nurture, pop culture, prejudice and politics shape the identity of camp gay man James McDermott. Structured in three parts - 'Boy', 'Youth' and 'Man' - Manatomy interrogates how the experiences of growing up gay in a homophobic world and in rural millennial England affect a gay man's relationships with himself, his partners, the LGBTQ+ community and the wider world.
