Bad Poetry: Poems About Love, God, Sex, Death and Other Things We’re Clearly Not Qualified to Discuss

Love. God. Sex. Death. Chips. Coffee. Forty poems from people who are clearly not qualified to discuss any of them. Bad Poetry is a funny, filthy, occasionally devastating collection about everything human beings have spent centuries trying - and failing - to explain properly. Across forty poems and forty contradictory voices, romance happens beside pub bins. Sex is interrupted by cramp and Christmas socks. Exes refuse to stay politely in the past. Plato turns up after an orgasm. The problem of evil is nearly solved in Wetherspoons. Death receives a formal complaint. And somewhere amongst all the swearing, bad decisions and existential dread, somebody quietly gives somebody else the last chip. There are love poems. Break-up poems. Sex poems. Prayers written by people who aren't sure anybody is listening. Funerals with sausage rolls. Arguments that start with dirty plates and end in childhood trauma. >Some of it rhymes. Some of it absolutely shouldn't. Some of it might make you laugh out loud. Some of it might make you uncomfortable. >Because beneath all the jokes, filthy thoughts, terrible metaphors and attempts to sound profound, Bad Poetry asks one fairly simple question: What if the feeling was never the embarrassing part? Maybe love doesn't need another moon. Maybe grief doesn't need a better metaphor. >Sometimes somebody just makes the coffee. Nobody improves it. An adult poetry collection containing strong language, sexual themes, grief, religion, death, terrible decisions and philosophical discussions conducted by people who should probably have gone to bed several hours ago.
