TRIGGER WARNING

Deep-root psycho-geo-graffiti by Steve Moore, laying bare cultural substrata in the heart of “probably the best street in the UK and in the 37th coolest place on earth, according to Time Out… ”

“A compelling, provocative long poem; From Stapleton sings powerfully, blending psycho-geography, fragmentary urban voodoo, urgent statistics, overheard conversations and Oulipian trickery.” Brendan Cleary
