AQUAFABA by Colin Herd

Thursday 4th June Colin Herd / Meredith MacLeod Davidson / Anjeli Caderamanpulle Join us for the Glasgow launch of AQUAFABA by Colin Herd (Spite Press 2026) Aquafaba (Spite Press 2026) is the sappy gluey liquid that beans or chickpeas float about in, cushioning their collisions with one another in tins or jars. It takes on traces of the legumes as they fray and bump at the edges. But when enough air is introduced, this seemingly inconsequential byproduct, destined to be wasted, forms a foam with enough stability to obtain aerated structures and dizzying peaks. In this new collection by Colin Herd poetry is figured as the slushy, hokey, surfeit fluid we knock about in as we leach our own emotional starch. Unabashed by sentiment, impetuous and weak-at-the-knees by craft, these poems wonder if language too might be transformational when subject to frenzied motion. Colin Herd is a poet. His previous solo books and pamphlets include Like, Too Ok, Glovebox, Swamp Kiss, Click & Collect and You Name It. With S J Fowler he co-wrote Oberwilding - a book of poems on the work and life of Oskar Kokoschka. With Maria Sledmere, he co-wrote Cocoa & Nothing, a book of poems about Ritter Sport chocolate. He is also editor or co-editor of the anthologies Glasgow Cities, All Becomes Art I, All Becomes Art II and Edwin Morgan Centenary Collection.
