Artisanal Slush by Ellora Sutton

Artisanal Slush is an attempt to transcribe the algorithms that make up a self, whatever that means in the early 21^st-century. Ellora Sutton leans unapologetically into the things that bring her joy, her obsessions – from Taylor Swift to John Keats, from Jurassic Park to Hildegard of Bingen’s cosmic vulva via Animal Crossing and fanfiction coffee shop AUs. Sutton is a poet at play, out to celebrate the endless possibility of living whilst, still, looking for something like a happy ending. Or at least a bundle of cheap rhubarb and a homemade scone. And an answer to the age-old question: Pepsi or Coca-Cola?
