'An Interesting Detail is full of returns, 'the costumes and repetitions available' to the speaker – to any of us – in a new place; the forms, the situated patterns of being and doing we borrow from the past and resurrect here, for good or ill' FRAN LOCK

An important and timely collection spanning time and space, pain and power, from an innovative poetic voice


The poems in An Interesting Detail confront our shared, layered past (both planetary and human) and its knotty relationship to the present, stretching from today to prehistory, in a voice that is knowing and yearning, sincere and sardonic, and at times defiant. Campanello’s prose poems, brief lyric outbursts, and poetic sequences ludically navigate catastrophe and sweep us up in the minutiae of everyday life, which includes pain and illness, machinations of power and moments of suspended connection.

Kimberly Campanello’s recent projects are MOTHERBABYHOME, a 796-page visual poetry-object and reader’s edition book (zimZalla, 2019) culminating in a durational performance, and sorry that you were not moved (2022), an interactive digital poetry publication (with Christodoulos Makris and Fallow Media) in conversation with Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities. Her novel, Use the Words You Have, was shortlisted for the Society of Authors Gordon Bowker Volcano Prize in 2026. She is Professor of Poetry at the University of Leeds.
