Each tightly-written chapter grabs you by the lapels and imparts wisdom with rigour, vigour and verve. The scope and approach of this tight little volume is pleasing too, offering us fresh ways into thinking about the short story in the light of haiku, jokes, social media posts, the urban weird, and more.

The extended version of This is not a Spectacle explores human curiosity towards strangers and investigates where curiosity becomes fascination with another's grief or misfortune from afar. Split into six sections, the poems range from my experiences of a car accident, my own fascination of others and strangers' impressions of me. It is an expression of anger from those who least want to be stared at and be put on display.Praise for the original Chapbook:"An incredible collection that builds powerfully" - David"The Visual in this Chapbook was stunning" - Leila"Many of the poems are absolute screamers and have you on your feet applauding" - Katie
