I am really enjoying the ad hoc delivery of our Sunday Morning Poetry, likewise the even less seen, 'Short Story Orgy'. Charlie Hill has appeared in both because he literally is an all time great. Charlie's work has appeared in TLS, the Guardian, the Independent on Sunday, the New Statesman, the Big Issue and many other places too. Charlie's latest book is The State of Us which you can find here. Here's one from his back pages which feels necessarily germane right now.
TAKING BACK CONTROL
Down the George and Dragon,
some anti-elitist blokes
are belatedly livid,
mad about injustice,
like they never were before.
And yeah yeah,
I know they’re voiceless
blah afraid whatever; but
I’m through with buying excuses
for their poor benighted shittery.
