A Double Act

Ken Bolton,John Jenkins

A selection drawn from their various intoxicating books (Airborne Dogs, Nutters Without Fetters, Poems of Relative Unlikelihood, The Wallah Group, The Gutman Variations (their study of Jacques Lacan), the verse novel The Ferrara Poems - later filmed - and Lucky For Some). Warning: will produce exhilaration, euphoria, general systemic excitation, scorn, weeping, laughter. Parodic, yet intense - poems terse, thoughtful, complex or pellucid, philosophical, and not unacquainted with beauty, but always sharp, always funny. A DOUBLE ACT -guaranteed to levitate right off the table, and take its readers with it.

‘Due perhaps to their collaborative nature there is a remarkable freedom from anxiety here. But there is a great deal of intelligence.’ - Stephanie Trigg, Island

‘Ludic, breathtakingly, drastically reductive - like Weil, like Brecht - caring and bare-knuckled, canny and guileless, winsome and ruthless - I love these guys!’ - Suzy Treister
