Chewing Gum by Bridget Hart
£10.00
'My queer teenage heart exploded with every poem' - Richard Energy
Inspired by Grease (and Grease 2), Bridget Hart shakes the dust from these old familiar characters and wipes away the heteronormativity for new queer possibilities. Exploring sexuality, masculinity and re-inventing identity, Chewing Gum draws on real life trivia and 'off-screen' elements to recreate a narrative enriched with queer history. Chewing Gum gives closure to those left on the ground as Greased Lightin' disappears into the sky.
'This collection is my favourite combination of fun and quietly heartbreaking. It made me want to rewatch Grease as I pause and read out these wondrous words. Bridget has made something really special' – Travis Alabanza
'Tender yet funny, simple yet revolutionary, these poems breathe fresh and deliciously queer life into a classic.' - Maria Ferguson
