From the desk of Kirsty Allison
Author of Psychomachia (Wrecking Ball Press) which i-D magazine describe as "exhilarating, brazen, devastating and brilliant ” in its exploration of the 1990s from a feminist lens, the novel draws on the Latin poem about the clash between vice and virtue.
Kirsty Allison is described by Irvine Welsh as "the greatest cultural beacon on the planet." Kirsty’s career began as a young journalist, DJing with Welsh in a band that played disco predating her own era. After gaining awards for BBC radio documentary, fashion copywriting, and independent film, Kirsty founded Cold Lips Press, an indie platform known for publishing zines, books, and hosting international creative events. Her poetry, initially performed to escape commercial confines, has been showcased worldwide, from Convenanza Festival in Carcassone to Beirut with the British Council, and her poetry-films played in the Tate. Her first poetry collection, Now is Now, followed DIY publications sewing books by hand on the same machine she used to craft costumes for Boy George.
Kirsty served as the final editor of Ambit, where she doubled readership and inspired record submissions. She writes on Substack, is collaborating on a screenplay, and continues to move fluidly between London and her Andalusian retreat, pushing boundaries in literature and performance.
