Kinder Parasites by Holly Moberley is a maximalist and genre-slipping debut that hijacks contemporary idioms, internet detritus, and pop-cultural flotsam to stage a queer, hyper-literate theatre of identity and desire. Operating in a voice both restless and radically knowing, the collection riffs through histories, mythologies, and social absurdities with wit, surrealist flare, and emotional precision. Beneath the meme-rich surface lies a persistent, searching tenderness, and an insistence on connection, lineage and survival in an age of spectacle, loss, and transformation. These poems dazzle with range and density, embracing mess as a mode of resistance and reinvention.
PRAISE FOR KINDER PARASITES
Moberley's writing is delicious, oozing with pleasure at every step. These are tender, enticing poems - instructions on how to live.
— Chloe Elliott
