Richard 'ack' Atkinson, the lovechild of Charles Bukowski and Joseph Beuys, presents in this compelling collection a glimpse into a world where Brighton meets Byker, birds sing in B flat minor, and Tommy Trinder rubs shoulders with Dostoevsky. These joyous/tragic poems are drunk on words and filled with lurve, cocker spaniels, madness, and yet more lurve. Utterly irresistible.
