dismantle is a reimagining, a re-examining of what it means to be human. Here is the arc of a life, from first cell to last breath and beyond.

"Anne Tannam’s newest collection is imaginative, unpredictable and pulsating with emotional energy. Whether challenging ideas of femininity and masculinity, womanhood and motherhood, re-examining myth, or seeing eye-to-eye with an aching personal loss, Tannam’s language is keenly felt. This is a dismantling in the truest sense – of time and memory, of the ideas we inherit, of the self. Tannam’s collection will shatter and re-arrange you, piece by sparkling piece." Luke Morgan - Author of Beast
"Anne Tannam’s dismantle is a collection that requires attention, and it is all the more powerful for that. Here is the arc of a life, from first cell to last breath and beyond. These are poems that ask difficult questions with uncertain answers: what is it to be a child, a daughter, a woman, a man? And what’s more, what is it to be? Formally daring, emotionally charged, and endlessly inquiring, it blew me away with its intensity. Here is a poet at the height of her power." Alice Kinsella - Author of Milk: On Motherhood and Madness
"dismantle is a moving excavation of what it means to be a woman in the world today.

Formally and linguistically virtuosic, dismantle is both an exquisite undoing, and a call to explore the wide world." Jessica Traynor, Author of Pit Lullabies
