The books of...series
 

The Books of... series of serial poems are satirical, topical, comical, powerful and sometimes startling takes on the state we’re in. The Book of Contentions is also a half hour show. And the Book of Indictments...is probably more of a theatre production...or maybe a film...but dreams of being stand up comedy...because it’s just like that. And The Book of Offences... is still being carved on stone in a remote part of Mongolia (apparently).

   Update; The Book of Offences has just arrived having been shipped by freight from Outer Mongolia, and has even now been transcribed from stone to paper and is now available in the Web Shop! along with The Books of Contentions & Indictments.

The Book of Indictments


- Deals with invasions, occupations, wars on concepts and places, heritage, slavery, citizenship and patriotism, to the Magna Carta and teacosies. It itself is a complete Book, but if it was a river it would have many tributaries... Which manifest themselves as; An ever expanding list of Indictments (in case anybody ever wanted to Indict anyone about anything, that is...)


The Book of Contentions


- ‘Fractious fragments for fractured times’ - 150 bizarre aphorisms on subjects from space satellites to painting your room blue (don’t), the Book and its friends the Shepherdess and the Shepherd, take us on a tour through the hall of Contentions. ‘Poor platitude! to need stating so often that everyone hates it...’ 

The Book of Offences


  1. -Not to be confused with the Swedish Book of Offences of 1734, and undoubtedly not its companion, The Book of Punishments... From climate change, feudalism, billionaires and coconut macaroons to giant pandas and the ‘spork’ - all life is here! The hardly-awaited Book of Offences promises to be a good friend to the Books of Contentions and Indictments, and not to let either of them down...



!?!

The Book of Convictions. Fourth in the Trilogy. If the previous books covered occupation, slavery, heritage, civil liberty, identity, patriotism and capitalism, The Book of Convictions takes the theme further, deeper and into even murkier waters and darker spaces, tackling imperialism, the rich/poor gap, immigration, slave labour, and globalization. Oh, and cracker toys. Featuring the characters in previous books, The Book, the Shepherd and with special guest, all the way from number nought, The Book of Contentions’ very own demi-god - the Shepherdess!
