Bennetts Hill Blues

Meer over het boek

Leon Priestnall was something quite rare on the Spoken Word circuit - a romantic, a lost soul, with so few of the right answers and so many of the wrong ones. His poems are full of questions, not solutions, or even a step further back from that - are asking the question of what questions to ask. In his work, he isn’t setting himself up as any kind of answer - he is as wrong as he is right, behaves badly as often as correctly. Often too confused to be able to move - beyond lighting another cigarette, taking another drink, running for the door - or speak. Often trapped inside the circle of his thoughts, which are a riot of possibilities and recriminations, what-ifs and why-nots.
