Zoë Skoulding Libros

Zoe Skoulding's first Carcanet collection is a navigation of lostness, centred on Anglesey, that discovers solidarities across times, places and species.

The French Republican Calendar, established to secularize time and empower rural workers, serves as the foundation for the poems in A Revolutionary Calendar. Each month was renamed to reflect the seasons, and days honored plants, animals, minerals, or tools instead of saints. The poet Fabre d'Églantine's innovative naming inspires a rich exploration of etymology, translation, and sensory memory, highlighting connections and solidarities among humans, objects, and other species.
