Format:Paperback
Every poem in this collection is packed with life; surveying Blair's Britain with flair, flamboyance and finesse - and always with a weather eye (and ear) for something glamorously decadent, off kilter or left behind in the outcrop of an estate or concrete precinct. Like listening to The Streets or watching The Office, Turnbull returns his readers to the half life of our daily surroundings and reminds us of who we are, what we are amongst, and what our lives are like.
Immediately recognisable as "now" and realised in poems which have narrative thrust, social coherence and what one might call the politics of recognition, there isn't a dud in the book; every poem has been crafted, every line, crafted, to deliver a simply knock-out book. Buy it.

Neglected to review this when it came out from the darlings at Donut. How many poetry books demand to be devoured at a sitting? Funny, serious, angry, technically adroit - if a title like God has a Day Off piques your curiosity, this is for you
Donut put out handsome, pamphlety productions that deserve to sell in bucketloads (is this right? Ed). They are, despite the spelling, British. THEY DESERVE YOUR SUPPORT. And, no, I don't have a clue who's behind it.

Listmania!
