Small Undetectable Thefts
Winner of the 2024 Eric Gregory Award
“Small Undetectable Thefts is an exploration of the ways in which our lives are marked by in-betweenness, loss, and displacement, and what is gained as a result. A masterclass in the craft of the line, this is a pamphlet to savour and return to again and again.”
“What a sneakily brilliant thing! In Small Undetectable Thefts, the quotidian rhythms of life unravel, the threat and thrill of the mundane tipping into the absurd and transcendent. The images are crisp, unfussy and often startling. The speaker addresses us like a favoured co-conspirator, inviting and endlessly inquisitive.”
Reviews
Vanessa Kissuule
“Through this brave collection Georgieva communicates that there are some things too painful to admit or to face head on and offers us instead small flashes of light to illuminate the drab monotony of modern life. By the close, we feel schooled in the aesthetics of dread, the mysteries of faulty appliances, our stubborn, unknowable bodies, and the quiet devastating power of the unarticulated.”
