This is a collection about the land. This land.
It’s about the politics of the UK, its identity and how it can be re-defined. It’s about the environment, social disquiet, anger, intolerance and the rise of righteousness. It’s about love and intimacy, exploring change and the passing of time.
This is a collection which embraces hope and creates the future.

“These are poems to be belted out or chanted in unison with loved ones at protests.” – Geneviève L. Walsh, spoken word artist
“Written with care and compassion. A powerful, timely collection … A warning and a carrion call to us all.” – Michael Wilson, poet
“Tony’s words dance off the page and into your bloodstream … This unique and beautiful collection is essential reading.” – Charlotte Oliver, writer
