Join us to celebrate the launch of Bodily Fluids by Len Lukowski. Bodily Fluids is a charged, unflinching examination of desire, transgression, and the shifting boundaries of selfhood.

Moving through sex, memory, digital detritus, and fleeting intimacies, Lukowski crafts poems that are both vulnerable and wry, attuned to the body’s betrayals and pleasures. With cinematic clarity and a sharp lyricism, the collection navigates the intersections of queerness, masculinity, and transformation, refusing easy narratives of identity or resolution. Bodily Fluids pulses with restless energy, mapping the residue of encounters, the weight of longing, and the quiet violences of simply existing.

Len Lukowski writes poetry, fiction and memoir. He's had writing in 14 Poems, Extra Teeth and Fierce Salvage. He's played in the queer punk bands Jean Genet, Faggot and Twinken Park. He is a recipient of the Wasafiri prize for New Writing. His pamphlet 'The Bare Thing' was published in 2022 and 'Bodily Fluids' is his first collection. He is currently working on a queer gothic novel set in the southside of Glasgow.

We will also have readings from a host of other excellent poets that Len has invited to read and celebrate with him including Ciara Maguire, Belladonna Paloma  and Stuart Rawlinson
