Quick take

Jackson Phoenix Nash is an essential new poetic voice. Funny, tragic, deeply lived, his poems snap you wide awake.

Synopsis

              you need to be a warrior right now,
especially in Wetherspoon’s where you’re slightly scared
to take a piss
and for comfort you search ‘Mudlarking’ on your phone,
as you squat in the cubicle with one foot
pressed hard against the door
                                in case someone should come in
                                and realise what you are.
