The Bed by Jacques Tutcher and Selima Hill

Description

‘Selima Hill is an inimitable talent. The mind is fragile and unreliable in her poetry, but is also tenacious and surprising, capable of the most extraordinary responses, always fighting back with language as its survival kit. Life in general might be said to be her subject, the complications, contradictions and consequences of simply existing. Nevertheless, Hill’s writing is eminently readable and approachable, even fun at times, the voice of a person and a poet who will not be quieted and will not conform to expectations, especially poetic ones.’ Simon Armitage

Winner of the first KING’S MEDAL FOR POETRY in 2023, Selima Hill collaborates with photographer Jacques Tutcher on this sequence

Jacques Tutcher – Earthman wanderer; child of nature. Mostly self taught and making it up along the way, currently studying Photography at Falmouth University. I like pictures and words that unfold through my lens. It’s my processing practice, travelling never arriving.

Selima Hill – is a pilot and a paramedic and breeds pot-bellied pigs. In her dreams.
