'High Jump as Icarus Story' is Parker's début collection, where the high jump becomes a dazzling conceit, used to explore the Blackness, the queerness and the maddening contrariness of life. #tseliotprize

[Blue Press @bluepresslit]

Fantastic reading from @gustav_parker’s wonderful debut collection with @bansheelit!
