This is Tony Walsh's eagerly-awaited first collection. He takes us on an extraordinary journey through ordinary lives; flying the flag for the performance poetry scene which packs out venues and festival tents around the UK. These are accessible, musical poems, influenced by the songs which soundtrack our lives, brimming with northern warmth and humour, propelled by passion and compassion as their bassline and their beat. Sex & Love & Rock&Roll is a book to unite and inspire. lt's all about coming together and changing the world.
'Fabulous stuff...' Irvine Welsh; "'Too much poetry speaks to too few people', but Tony Walsh's poetry speaks to the many. In SEX & LOVE & ROCK&ROLL, words leap off the page: urgent and immediate, like his poetry performances. They tell us how it feels when the needle goes in, / when the bass, when the bass, when the bass, when the bass..." Helen Mort; 'Tony Walsh's poetry picks you up by the scruff of the neck and shakes you until your teeth rattle. Brilliant stuff!' Felix Dennis - poet, publisher, Oz trial defendant.
