Ash Dickinson Boeken

Vivid surrealism characterizes this poetry collection, inviting readers to reflect deeply on the world while embracing humor. Polished for the stage, it defies the notion that performance poetry cannot succeed on the page. Drawing inspiration from notable poets like Adrian Mitchell and The Liverpool poets, the work remains accessible and entertaining. Although designed for live performance, this accomplished collection deserves a prominent spot on any bookshelf, showcasing its artistic merit beyond the stage.

Exploring a whirlwind of absurdities and contemporary issues, this collection features a unique blend of humor and satire. From a whimsical take on pop culture, including a rapid-fire retelling of Star Wars, to poignant reflections on misogyny in rap and the complexities of midlife crises, the narratives traverse a diverse landscape. Dickinson's signature comic surrealism shines through as he tackles themes like Scottish independence, political satire, and the quirks of modern life, all while maintaining a playful tone that invites readers to reflect on love, art, and society.

Targeted at younger readers and those with a sense of wonder, this collection features selected works from Ash's previous releases, along with new pieces. After visiting eighty-eight schools in 2018, where many students were not yet ready for Ash's earlier books, this anthology aims to engage and inspire a younger audience with accessible and imaginative content.

Instructions for Outlaws is the third collection of poems for adults by award- winning performaner Ash Dickinson
