Shortlisted for the Costa 2019 Poetry Award. Surreal, joyful,
political and queer, Reckless Paper Birds is a collection to treasure by
Polari Prize-winning poet John McCullough. These exuberant poems
welcome you into a psychedelic, parallel world of 'vomit and blossom'
where Kate Bush mingles with a weeping Lady Gaga, a 'fractal coast' full
of see-through things: water, mirrors, glass pebbles.
With a
magpie's eye for hidden charms, McCullough ranges across birdlife,
Grindr and My Little Pony while also addressing social issues from
homelessness to homophobia.
