Tim Barlow's quirky poems tell of punks, pubs, petrosexuals, Tinder, taxis, taxes, and other snippets from life's great lottery.
Within these pages, you'll witness the rise of the grey army, contemplate whether a dragonfly weighs more than your soul, discover if there is life on Jupiter's moons, or if AI will steal your lover.
A sideways look at 21st Century society - sometimes serious, often witty, always poetic.
“On the page or on the stage, Tim’s witty, quietly subversive words are always a delight.” James Domestic, poet, musician & punk
“Tim’s enthusiasm for words and poetry is contagious. His work delights with playfulness and energy.” Henry Normal, poet, writer, TV & film producer
“A star in ascent. Overspilling with wisdom, wit, and moments of sheer poetic brilliance.” Richard Newham-Sullivan, poet & editor
