The Gulag Village Green
The village green’s bandstand and benches are wrapped in black-and-yellow police tape. Joggers and dog walkers are only allowed out twice a day. Schools are closed down. People wear masks and stay separated every time they leave their homes, while others are locked inside buildings. Curfews are in place. Marshals patrol the streets. Cops break up wedding parties. The government encourages people to snitch on their neighbours. And new draconian laws are introduced at the drop of a hat so the police can control everyone more, while the army is on stand-by and the media attempts to incite a race war.
Sounds like the blurb for a bad Hollywood movie, right?
Well, as we all know, it was actually the reality of 2020...

About the author
Harry Whitewolf
25 books283 followersHarry Whitewolf is doing his own thing.
He's the author of two true backpacking tales: Route Number 11 (about Harry's five-month drunken journey around Argentina; and across the borders to Paraguay, Chile and Brazil) and The Road To Purification (which describes his mad-as-hell pot-smoking trip around Egypt). In addition, Harry has written ten collections of distinctive poetry, including the much talked about New Beat Newbie, and the award-winning Rhyme and Rebellion.
Whitewolf also co-edited and contributed to The Anti-Austerity Anthology, a book for charity which has been featured in The Canary and on the Steve Topple and George Galloway online show.
Over the years, Harry has performed his poetry at the Portobello Festival, the Winchester literature fringe festival and numerous open mic. nights and gigs. These days however, he prefers making fun and quirky performance vids from the comfort of his smoky flat. You can find Harry's performances on his website: www.harrywhitewolf.com
He also writes and illustrates funny children's books, that grown-ups can enjoy too, under the pen name of Mr. Wolf. Check out Mr. Wolf's books and cartoon illustrations on his website: www.booksforchildren.wix.com/mrwolf
As if that weren't enough to be getting on with, Harry's poetry has appeared in four other anthologies and you can find his wacky fiction in the unique books ReejecttIIon - a number two and They're Making It Up As They Go Along, which Harry co-authored with Daniel Clausen. Whitewolf also wrote the foreword for punk-poet Andy Carrington's kick-arse book What's Wrong With The Street!
Amongst all of that, Harry somehow finds time for his day job as an article writer and illustrator.
Harry Whitewolf was born in England in 1976. He hopes to see world peace in his lifetime, and yes, Harry believes miracles are possible.
Spread the love.

This is the work of a poet in conflict with himself. Harry Whitewolf contradicts himself over and over in this book but, in a way, that’s one of the book’s strengths. We are living in a conflicted world; a world in which we are constantly being bombarded by misinformation and outright lies, and one in which even the truth is communicated so clumsily that it ends up sounding like just another lie, that I defy anybody to say they are 100% certain what the truth is. The signal is being lost amongst the noise and conflicted viewpoints expressed in books like this are the result. (Not that I’ve read any other books like this, but I’m sure they’re out there.)
I’m not demeaning the author in any way by saying this: the work sums up the mess that has been 2020 rather perfectly, to be honest. Ultimately, the mysterious Mr. Whitewolf’s message is this:
Let Go of Anger
A real warrior uses words not fists.
You thugs need hugs and a mother’s kiss.
A real warrior uses logic and reason.
You louts need to light up new peaceful beacons.
A real warrior uses compassion and love.
You bigots need to embrace what I speak of;
For your own sakes as much as anyone else’s.

Timely, thought-provoking stuff. You don't have to agree with everything Whitewolf has to say in order to appreciate the form and substance of his arguments, to say nothing of the spirit obviously behind them. The popularity of an opinion is not what makes it valid, after all, and there remains (at least in concept) our freedom of speech. Not everything is always quite so black and white as our divisions might suggest, and if we can't even discuss our differences in perspective, then unity only falls further out of reach. That's not to say that all notions are equally correct or justified, but if the only alternative to allowing them is censorship, then it's really no surprise what little progress we make. Without this discourse, there can be no resolution to our conflicts, and I don't think it's being overly naive to suggest we do more listening to each other. Listening is not the same as agreeing, and even the worst ideas ought to be listened to, if only so they can be effectively countered. Perhaps this is why Twitter allows Trump to keep on tweeting. Still, that's an extreme example, and not at all a good comparison with the kindly contrarian Mr. Whitewolf. He thinks things, you think things, we think things, and that's okay. It's what we do with these thoughts that really matters.

Whitewolf takes on the fault lines at the crux of modern neurotic preoccupations and dissects the danger zone where they are rubbing up against each other. While every area chosen for Whitewolf commentary justifies the attention given to it, the surrounding amplification and emotionalism that has signalled a spiral into a stress-ridden cavalcade of nervous systems skating in a fugue state beyond fight or flight comes in for particular questioning. I agree with some of what Whitewolf says (for example on the left’s blinkered approach to restriction of offensive speech) and disagree with much as well (such as vaccine contempt). Which is very much the point Whitewolf is making strongly here—I’m entitled to disagree and be heard. It is a better person than I who will condemn another to complete erasure for having views that are uncomfortable, ill-informed, bigoted, offensive, and vile. The meeting place of where these ugly sides of our nature have the right to be broadcast and the responsibility to accept consequences for that is an ever shifting dilemma, and one that is up for debate. Any debate needs to have every aspect at the table, and it is the punishment for bringing the offensive to the table that is so counter to any chance of greater understanding. As a connected aside, it is time publishers protected their artists. It has come to my attention recently that it has become policy at certain publishers to reject writing that contains the most offensive slurs, in any context—this includes in the case of quoting real life incidents, in the representation of bigoted characters, or for satirical purposes. ANY REASON. I will state that any publisher who states this should not be in publishing. There are certain words, I think you can guess which ones, that I would never use in daily life, but I will reserve the right use them in fiction. Life is ugly, and sometimes it is necessary to show the fullest extent of that. There is a concerning faux care-taking motivation behind this policing of language, which ultimately, and I’ve considered all the arguments for and against so this isn’t a flippantly made point, undermines its supposed aims of combating inequality. Whitewolf very perceptively taps into the rage behind these recent movements, the volume turned up to tantrum level, leaving nothing but ear destroying white noise.
As usual, it’s Whitewolf’s playful use of language that dominates all else, and, through the confusion of recent times, he brings humour and reflection to very contentious areas. That a writer as compassionate and peace-loving as Whitewolf is nervous to express honest thoughts like this, thoughts that everyone has before they check themselves because we are all indoctrinated and prejudiced to some degree, is an indictment of the state of discourse at the moment. Agree to disagree the Whitewolf way, it will enrich your day.

OUT NOW! :)

I would love to see this book trending on Twitter, if anything stands a chance of taking down that platform it is this book. There is something to upset everybody in this book and the meltdown on twitter would be a site to behold. Harry may come across as Anti-mask, Anti-Lockdown and Anti-Vax but only in so far as he thinks we shouldn't become sheep and follow blindly those in charge, he wants you to look for the evidence before you condemn somebody for having an opinion, don't believe the media spin making out that anybody who is anti something is a lunatic.
I did forget at times I was reading a book of poetry as the book comes across more like an exploration of the events that have occurred in 2020, it was so easy to get caught up in the subject matter. At the beginning of the book I did chuckle a few times as Harry got angrier and angrier until he reached full blown rant and the poems almost become a scream, but as I got further and further into the book the chuckling stopped, I realised just how fucking insane the world has become. Seeing the events of 2020 condensed into this one book is so shocking, I had been plodding along in life watching the world fall apart one thing at a time, Harry tells things how they happened, events falling over each other to destroy as much as possible.
There are somethings I agreed with in this book, most things if I'm honest, but there are some I didn't, one of those was about J. K. Rowling's transphobia. Many people tried to cancel her for what she said, here Harry tries to defend the point she was trying to make, I am of the opinion "Why did she have to say anything in the first place? What's it to do with her?" But that's just my opinion....not that it has anything to do with me.
This book is guaranteed to cause a huge debate and nobody will ever come to agreement over it, the sad thing is this debate will overshadow the fact that this is some of Harry's best work, 2020 has inspired him to write some truly incredible words. Possibly the best thing he has written is almost a review of his own work, "I DON’T WANT PEOPLE WHO ARE EASILY OFFENDED BY SWEAR WORDS TO READ MY BOOKS ANYWAY", I absolutely love that poem, I just wish I had been the one to have written the last line. The book is not 100% angry Harry, there is still some of his classic word play and in one he messes around with fonts, in another he uses this great line "High-fly barfly acrobat hoofing." Surely that one line is enough to make you wanna pick up this book as see what it's all about? These little islands of word play are perfectly placed to give you a quick breather and save you from getting overwhelmed by the main subject matter.
I really do hope that Harry doesn't get cancelled over this book, I hope that people read this book and look at themselves to see how they have behaved this year, this book will either make you slink away in shame or hold your head up high and be proud of how much care you gave.

‘Let’s keep the peace and quiet. Don’t rot but neither riot…’
British poet/author Harry Whitewolf is an article writer and illustrator who has made a definite mark on the world by challenging us to consider the truth about things in general and the condition of life on planet Earth in particular. He has published eleven books – ranging from memoirs to activist poetry – as well as three comical children’s books, written under the moniker Mr. Wolf. He is unafraid to address contemporary issues and in this book he combines his wit with his acerbic take on the mess of 2020 – the pandemic, the racial issues, protests, quarantine, police behavior, and political shenanigans – and in doing so provides not only a tome of entertainment, but a fine overview of this particular moment in time.
For those new to Harry Whitewolf’s art, it is best to simply offer a few examples to stimulate interest and encourage exploration, so the following are presented:
Close Down The World
Close down the world!
Everything Must Go!
Get your panic-buy special offers
Come on, don’t be slow!
The planet is bankrupt.
The earth’s in liquidation.
Shut the whole damn world.
There is no negotiation.
Rollup, roll up.
Prices are so low!
Spend all of your saving,
‘Cos Everything Must Go!
Everyone’s A Homeworker Now
Bloody lock down.
People used to look impressed and envious when I told them I worked from home.
There are many such insightful and satiric poems in this collection, but there are also some mini-essays about serious (and scientific!) aspects that Whitewolf challenges us to consider. This, likely, will become an important retrospective on 2020 – and hopefully will not extend to other years in our tenuous future!

BEWARE THIS POLAR WOLF HAS LONG TEETH (EXCERPT)
"Put public health before capitalism,"
Wrong word. Capitalism means nothing. It is one way of managing – the bad way I would admit – the market economy without which nothing can be done. If you want to have public health for everyone, why should it be public and why should not health coverage be first compulsory and second regulated by parliamentary authorities. Hospitals can be private, but they have to live within the same social security system for all as the public ones. And this health system has to be paid for. By whom? How? How much in our GNP, or GDP if you prefer? Or do we want to live with millions to pay every month in interest on the money we borrowed to pay for the bills? I have just borrowed 39,000 euros to work on my own house. But I will have to pay and foot the interest as well as the capital. Money does not grow on trees, except if we go back to the Maya civilization that used cocoa beans as currency.
"What happened to everyone panicking and thinking it was Armageddon?
Oh yeah, they got used to it."
My wife had a cancer examination and surgery postponed three months because of the hospital jam because in our hospital they had to take care of a trainful of patients coming from the northeast. That's the difference between us and the Chinese or even more generally Extreme-Orientals. They really mobilize themselves and obey the decisions of scientists implemented by their politicians.
"…The results were not perfect… (But) Sweden’s death rate is still lower than those in Belgium… Spain… Britain… and Italy… — all of which did go into lockdown.”
But compare with Norway and Denmark, their comparable countries. You get another picture then and compare it with Germany and Switzerland.
"They can’t read our minds,
But they can write our minds,
And occupy our minds,
And overtire our minds,
And oversaturate our minds,
And override our minds,
And oppress our minds,
And obliterate our minds."
But Harry you wrote some pages before: "But the closer I get / To the pinnacle, / The more I remember my mind is free." But you seem to have forgotten it yourself. And that brings us to the end of this trip in this dense jungle of all sorts of ideas and protesting shouts, yells, and screams. Remain peaceful but do not forget you have been endowed with vocal cords and a language. Harry Whitewolf uses the vocal cords too much to claim his unalienable liberty, freedom, and self-centered truth.
And yet there is here a picture of our world. I do not give a damn about the author who is a persona anyway. But the book reflects the great fall of the western world that is going to collapse if they do not react fast and come back to some collective thinking and collective action instead of individualistic initiative and anarchical selfishness. I am going to go out for my unique outing today and run and do gymnastics for one hour in the sports complex next to the river in my village and I will not travel as long as we do not have a vaccine and I will only for some time travel only for professional reasons duly proved and certified, and I will wear a mask all the time, at least as they say, when necessary, which means practically everywhere. Not because I am a well tamed and trained dog, but because there is no future for others if I do not do what I can do to protect them against the danger I might be.
During that time, the Extreme Orient is moving, and we will have a serious hangover if we do not come to some serious shared thinking. Right now, our “kamma” is close to very low and not far from zero. We will not reach “nibbana” in such a situation and many of us are going to die declared as COVID-19 or not: just check the extra number of death for any monthly period of time this year with the average of the five years before COVID-19 and you will have a real idea of the cost of COVID-19 including the suicides, the overdoses, the opioid addiction of many, etc., Including cancer, heart attacks, brain hemorrhages or just dying due to lack of care or company. We are saving lives on one side and causing deaths on another side. All roads in this pandemic world are dual carriageways.

2020 will be remembered as the year the world went into lockdown, or as Harry Whitewolf says, it was the year we all got ‘locked up’. Few people would be aware that Sir Isaac Newton invented his revolutionary mathematical assumptions whilst in isolation during a plague pandemic. It appears that one of the few positives we can take out of these times is the opportunity to search inwards, and also take on new perspectives about the world we inhabit. This is what Whitewolf has done with his latest work of prose and poetry.
He has a lot to say about the confused, chaotic and cruel aspects of western society and the inability of either the left or right to navigate or even make reasonable alternatives about what to do. For me, the poems are a call for individual empowerment and a plea that we all should try keep in the bad and put out the good. (again, apologies to Freddie but I love Queen 1). I think he says this best in the following poem;
Fuck Hatred and Don’t Fear Love
Fuck hatred
And don’t fear love.
Find the sacred
Within, not above.
Find compassion
And empathy.
Follow your passion
And elegantly
Be helpful and kind
Wherever you are.
Have goodness in mind
And we’ll soon be far
From hatred.
This work is unique because it is brutally, but brilliantly crafted to express the confusion and anger many of us are experiencing at the sheer shallowness, stupidity and meanness of those who pretend to govern for us. Whitewolf does indeed ‘push poetry out of its comfort zone’!

Harry pokes us once again to make us think and giggle against our will. He's so damn good at that. Freedom of expression is something Mr. Whitewolf does not take lightly. This wolf will be howling till his dying day and that's how it should be. I'm with you, Harry. We will not go quietly.
Entertaining, informative, sassy and a sad overview of the times, this collection is bittersweet. But his even consistency of covering most everything and everyone that has sucked recently is quite impressive. Nothing gets past the wolf. My favorite gut punches were ' The Censor Ship', 'Shock and Horror!', 'The Banning of Words', 'Face Masks are Fun and Stylish'.
