Overview

Award-winning poet, TED speaker and activist Agnes Török writes with hope and hilarity, exhaustion and empathy about the need to get out of bed and pay the bills and fall in love and over-water the pot plans - all while the revolution needs you. Poetry about all the things we do all those days we aren't campaigning, marching or petitioning. About how we love, how we care, how we create. And how these things give us the resilience to keep resisting. How all that care gives us the strength to keep making the world a better place.

'This book is a glorious rallying cry ... this is poetry of vibrancy and soul and a joy to read ' Salena Godden 'Reading all the days we don't revolt, I found moments of recognition that felt like a hug after a long day. There are a lot of things Agnes puts into words - deftly - that I didn't know I needed to recognise. That kind of honesty and compassion is what we need to take care of each other and, in doing so, change the world.' Linden Katherine McMahon

Author Information

Agnes Török is an award-winning queer and genderfluid poet, TED speaker and author. Their work moves in between art and activism. Török has produced poetry in collaboration with several large organisations and campaigns for change, as well as established cultural institutions such as Roundhouse Theatre and the BBC. Török has toured on four continents and written books in two languages about mental health, gender-based violence, the rise of the extreme right, and feminist and queer resistance movements. Török lives in Stockholm, Sweden, with their communities and pot plants. Their supporters and collaborators live around the world. All the Days We Don’t Revolt is Agnes’ fifth book, and the one closest to their hopelessly optimistic heart.
