I enjoyed this. Very openly and joyously queer, which was nice. Lots of quiet moments which paint a richly intimate life of the poet and his narrators. Everything feels very solidly located within an urban setting, which makes a nice change from the usual poetry I read and enjoy.

Sometimes I don't understand poetry, don't @ me I studied it at university and it didn't help. I think for me poetry is like art, except that its a representation of human experience with words. In this collection John McCullough is choosing his words carefully to describe queer life in Brighton, some poems are magical, some I'm not sure about and others leave me bewildered. I do know that we need poems and art to reflect the life around us though and this he does well.

This first poetry book I have read. I like it and I did enjoyed it but I didn't love it also I think is would be better if it was bit longer. The cover of book was stunning and It was a quick and easy read.
