Mingle

My new collection, Mingle, is available now from Nine Arches Press, bookshops and online:

"Mingle is a fizzing meditation on our queer and marvellous intermingled world, its bounty and its poisons, our interconnectedness and our complicity."
- Polly Atkin, Some of Us Just Fall; Much With Body

This Fruiting Body

My debut collection, This Fruiting Body, is available from Nine Arches Press.

"Parkin’s poems are infinitely lavish and full of wit, morphing human and more-than-human bodies in a post-human lyric disco lit with ecological thought."
- Samantha Walton, Everybody Needs Beauty
