Tottenham's new collection elaborates on his two earlier volumes. In elegantly-wrought laments of self-depreciation and hateful love poems, he gives voice to thoughts most won't express, but will be entertained by. He has staked out a singular terrain where egotism and self-loathing meet, where futility merges with urgency, and beauty is created out of bitterness.

This is a mesmerising proof that poete maudit can survive, alive and unwell, in this benighted age, and that the dregs can sometimes be the cream.

After many years of resistance, John Tottenham finally sold out to the lucrative, fast-paced world of poetry. He is the author of 'The Inertia Variations', an epic poetic cycle on the subject of work-avoidance, indolence and failure (a multi-media interpretation of this work by English musician Matt Johnson, otherwise known as The The, was released in 2017), His work has been described as "magnanimous misanthropy," "magical cynicism," and "an acquired taste that's for everybody."
