A Democracy of Poisons

Meer over het boek

Exploring the interplay between personal and cultural history, this collection of prose poems reflects on the years of Austerity leading to Brexit. Tim Allen, a former primary school teacher and a key figure in the North-West poetry scene, weaves narratives that juxtapose modern issues with autobiographical conflicts. The poems are infused with a sharp, self-directed humor, while motifs of age and change subtly resonate throughout. This work marks his third publication with Shearsman and showcases his evolving voice in contemporary poetry.
