Mccullough, J: Reckless Paper Birds: Shortlisted for the Costa 2019 Poetry Award: The Costa Book Awards 2019

Shortlisted for the Costa 2019 Poetry Award.

Reckless Paper Birds blends raw emotion, acute social observation and sharp wit to capture the gay male experience. The author of the critically acclaimed collections The Frost Fairs and Spacecraft, Brighton-based John McCullough pulls no punches in this latest - and his most powerful -collection. These are poems of skill, joy and quiet musicality that reflect the conflict and complexity of being.
