— Appears in: In Your Hands 2020; (p. 91)
1 1 y separately published work icon The Dancer in Your Hands <> Jo Pollitt , Crawley : UWA Publishing , 2020 19900302 2020 single work poetry novella

'The dancer in your hands <> is a superb and compellingly sustained poetic work. It mobilises striking innovations in notation, such as punctuation marks making visible the energetic, choreographic, and imaginative aspects of dance. As a book The dancer in your hands <> enacts the virtual, temporalized tremor, becoming a seismograph of latent bodily event. Refusing gendered binaries Pollitt engages in an erotics of the interstices, celebrating both the elongation of the moment and the exhilaration of the fugitive, or what the dancer-poet calls the radical impermanence of dance.'
