Description for Strange Lights Bexleyheath paperback. Post-apocalyptic visions told through the lives of toothless grannies, crack-heads and ancient creatures of the deep. A collection of political poems that address issues of race, class and social consciousness, using humour, pop culture and sex. Blending folklore, science fiction, and social realism together. Num Pages: 128 pages. BIC Classification: DCF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 234 x 154 x 9. Weight in Grams: 178.

A poetic soap-opera where ancient mermaidens meet Glaswegian winos in a world that can only be described as doomed. This collection of poems ranges from dystopian visions of modern day London in 'Strange Lights over Bexleyheath', lust-driven nostalgia in 'Sligo Maid', to a sombre walk through Glasgow in 'In the Necropolis'. A manifestation of verse set in the past, present and future, this collection acts as both a tribute and parody to the literary greats as well as being a provocative read in its own right.
