"Hopeful poetry of a hopeless time"... Thanks .rhetoric for truly getting to the heart of BLACK SKIES DIE STARLESS.
We adore Dean. If only Broken Sleep Books didn't love him too we'd snap him up in a heartbeat. His book Foundry Songs is immense. Check it out

This Thursday at the Elysium on Swansea High Street, Jamie Woods will be reading from his new book BLACK SKIES DIE STARLESS, a rallying cry against nostalgia, a love letter to failed friendships, and a quiet reflection of loss.

Jamie should be reading from around 7.30, followed by an open mic.
Copies of this book, along with badges and zones (if we can get the printer working) will be available too.

"Hopefully poetry of a hopeless time" said Dean Rhetoric.
"An absolute riot of a book" according to Natalie Ann Holborow.

BLACK SKIES DIE STARLESS
The new poetry pamphlet from Jamie Woods is available to pre-order from Punk Dust Poetry (link in bio).

Attacking the airbrushed nostalgia-fuelled images of a past that didn’t exist, BLACK SKIES DIE STARLESS is a poetry collection that throws you into 1990s back streets, late-night dive bars, post-club bedsits and broken relationships fuelled by sedatives and stimulants.

Atypical, under-diagnosed, and falling apart, Jamie’s poetry explores the mess of a young man trying to grow up in the cultural wreckage and unrelenting rhythm of grunge and rave culture, the vacuity of Cool Britannia, and the search for something, anything, to believe in...
