You Name It

by Colin Herd

“Colin Herd’s poems are masterpieces of variousness. They are talismans against Macho demons. They are snatches of theory operating under lavish spills of language. They are domestic vignettes queered. They are archives of both trauma and creativity. They are poems that flirt with anti-poetry. They are friendly utterances talking in philosophical undertones. They are ekphrasis become art itself. Colin Herd is the fiercest of makers, routinely unparalleled in his inventiveness!” - Richard Scott, author of Soho (Faber, 2018)

Some of the most inventive, funny and intelligent poetry I have ever read.

"This is a book for wishing to be the bubbles in the wine your crush is about to ingest."

"I want to be more of a poet than I am
I'm such a silly sausage"

That is the single greatest thing I believe I have ever read. And I don't know where to laugh at the absurdity or weep and the relatability. I also know I shall never write something so inspired in my life.

[Dany Bowen]

so so fantastic
