peel me Watcher is my third poetry pamphlet, published by Guillemot Press in 2025.
A moment of looking changes the fabric of reality. Drawn to a single object in an art gallery, a visitor is pulled into an unexpected intimacy where the usual boundaries between self and thing, language and body are turned inside out. Through this encounter, told in vivid and uncanny poems, peel me Watcher traces how art might look back at us, revealing new ways of seeing and being seen.
“Flo Reynolds’ new collection is brilliant. I read the whole thing out loud and felt each word – both real and invented – sitting deeply in my chest. It is uncanny how easily one slips into the world of these poems, where things are constantly collapsing, where the very act of our ‘thinghing’ is challenged. There is something about each poem – about this as one long poem – that feels so roundly enjoyable that anyone could pick this book up and feel joy or fear, or simply their breath springing forth. It is a delight.”
