Description

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.



About the Author
Standing two metres tall,Tony Walsh is often billed as a "giant" of the UK poetry scene. As Longfella he has a long-legged logo, but it is his remarkable poetry, rather than his notable height, which stands him out from the crowd. His trademark mix of intimacy and controversy, comedy and tragedy has been stunning audiences from grass-roots poetry gigs to international literature festivals since 2004.

Reviews
'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.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
