James Bunting and Jack Dean dragged twenty one young poets out of the back rooms, bars, slam stages and festival tents of the UK and made them write down the poems they were making with their mouths. They have captured the sound of a generation re-inventing poetry on their own terms. There are no rules in this world of jams and slams; this world of promote your own scene and form your own collective. This is poetry created to be performed; free of constraint, rules and restrictions. Poetry with something to say and a story to tell; about ordinary people and urban living; the grit of real life with sex, drugs and midnight trips to A&E. Poetry about standing in a festival crowd with your heart breaking. Poetry about one night stands, addiction and road kill. Poetry about Fukushima, Karaoke and Saturday night at the pub. Forget everything you thought you knew about poetry. This is more than poetry. This is Rhyming Thunder. Includes: Vanessa Kisuule, Harry Baker, Robert Auton, Simon Mole, Adam Kammerling, Jodi Ann Bickely,Rembrandt Clarke, Amy McAllister, Lionheart, Raymond Antrobus, Sh'Maya, Tshaka Campbell, Emma Ward, Paul Cree, Talia Randall, Amy Acre, Bridget Minamore, Zaru Jonson, Jessie Durrant, Alex Gwyther, Deanna Rodger
