Friend of the shop Oscar Perry is coming home with his latest book Greece Police Pumice.
Playing fast and loose with language across 41 poems, Perry parboils the sublime in mundanity, irreverence and humour.
"WE SHALL GO ONTO THE END
They are vaping on the beaches,
They are vaping on the landing grounds,
They are vaping in the fields and in the streets, They vape in the hills;
They shall never stop vaping, and even if,
which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated,
then the vapour beyond the seas would
carry on the wind, until, in God’s good time, The prior plane, with all its power and might, steps forth to inhale and exhale."
