Richard James Allen

The World's Gone Mad...hasn't It? Richard James Allen 1st edition

Seventy all original poems from new young English poet Richard James Allen. The all or nothing passion and brutal honesty of "The World's Gone Mad... Hasn't It?", "The Master Race Wears Sunglasses" and "I've Been Round Pete Doherty's House" is typical of the poems offered here. Allen's poems are quintessentially British and are often dripping with cynical humour. The influences of his heros, punk poet John Cooper Clarke and the multi-talented Spike Milligan are never far away. The poems are hilarious psychedelic existential musings, which swing violently between Orwellian nightmare and new age utopianism. Expect a hell of a lot more than list poems and limericks!
