Hi SImon I was probably one of those poem phobic guys but a few months back I stumbled across your book and bought a copy for a friend for his birthday. I gave it to him without reading it as I wanted him to have it brand new. I borrowed it back (feeling more relaxed about creasing a page or two) and really enjoyed the poems. I think the references of the time and the music all resonated with me and brought back some memories as did the 3 in today’s post. My mate insisted on me returning the book as he wanted to share some of your work with friends.

I’m a brand new subscriber so can legitimately add my voice to the “more poetry “ chant. Horror didn’t do it for me but your views on music and film will keep me engaged. I will watch Uncut Gems for sure.

And just to confirm I’m not fooling I just bought Adam McGraths ( The Eastern) first book of poetry called The Dogs Are Up.

Hope your reading goes well.

And didn’t Bob make 79 references to songs in Murder Most Foul.?
