Clay Eaters w/ Gregory Kan: 14th March, 2025

Clay Eaters is the latest poetry collection by Gregory Kan, out now via Auckland University Press.

Clay Eaters traverses a network of fault lines diverging and converging at unexpected angles: a mysterious jungle island, military reconnaissance training, the spirits in the trees and abandoned temples, old family homes, the echoes across rooms, the dining table set for the archetypal feast. The author asks what it means to write the self, and what it is the living must carry.

Beth caught up with Greg about Clay Eaters and the fragmentary nature of the collection. He also performed a couple of poems.
