The poetry collection Barbed-Wire Cage is a labyrinthine journey over the fence to life on the other side of the barbed-wire confines of society, a battle against the spiked constraints of convention; a collection of shards of punk rock, love everlost, let-downs and drained vodka bottles, reassembled and glued onto a backdrop of streetlights, factory yards and jagged metal fences. I take only poetry. I leave only footprints.
