Englandcollapsed

by John Denny

Englandcollapsed, is the debut collection of poems from rising English star, John Denny. Denny conjures a world of penalties, magical cities, of devils and of extraordinary classical beauty, of bruised sky and nightmarish visions, beyond the naked eye. Uniquely, Denny situates his readers, with himself, at the heart of the narrative, with a sense that everything you know, at any point, might collapse. Denny captures these stories, and takes the reader on an epic literary journey into the dark heart of these epiphanies, seen through the luminous lens of film, dreams and colour. It is a dark and brilliant achievement. ‘T.S. Eliot meets Joy Division.’ New Wave Review ‘This book should be banned, it’s that good.’ The Review ‘The most significant poetic voice in a generation.’ New Poetic Review
