Produktbeschreibung
This is Steve's fourth poetry book, containing his usual mix of political comment, satire, radical dreaming, and unfettered optimism. The paperback edition came out in 2015. There were two print runs and both have completely sold out.

The poem 'No-one likes an angry poet', which takes on the thorny subject of corporate tax evasion and makes it entertaining and accessible, has also been turned into a video and viewed over 3,500 times. Many of the other poems featured in the Poets, Prattlers, and Pandemonialists show which toured the UK and had a highly successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe.

'These poems live in the space between high and low, between everyday down-to-earth shopping-bag reality and Arcadian dreams. Between crying and laughing. They roll, easily, like good conversation. They exist as the title tells us as the bees in the poet's bonnet, itches that need scratching, stuff that needs to be said. But they come to life not as diatribes but as gentle tugs on the sleeve. Here, listen, what d'you think of this? They're funny, too. Funny that wins an argument, funny that points a finger at the Emperor, funny that works because it's balanced by tragedy. Funny because even the humour has a point to it, a reason to live on the page, between the high and the low, the page
where most of us spend our lives.'

Boff Whalley, musician, author, playwright.

'A tower block of a book, each flat contains beautifully drawn characters from 21st century Britain screaming from the windows the girl about to have a good day, the man who challenges a conglomerate, the unstoppable, the flawed, the irreverent, the social outlaw. This book will make you stand up as you read it.'

Joelle Taylor, poet.

50% of the income from this digital edition will go to supporting The Haven women's refuge in Wolverhampton.
