Days of Ordinary Madness is the title of Wayne Dean-Richards' new poetry collection to be serialised in Outsideleft this summer.
Throughout 2023, Outsideleft worked with Wayne to give away a collection of his poetry, It’s a Mad World, But Funny, which consisted of 18 consistently acerbic pieces. The poems were at first published intermittently on our website, and when the series was complete, Wayne made a free pdf available for download. Additionally, for the more discerning, serious of people with a small amount of cash available, a slender small format volume was made available for purchase. For the completists, a holy trinity of reading choices to enjoy.

DAYS OF ORDINARY MADNESS
In 2025 Wayne and Outsideleft are coming with a new collection, Days of Ordinary Madness. Featuring 41 of Wayne’s sharpest notes on our perplexing world. It all begins in Outsideleft this week.
Once more we will publish the poems prior to their collation into a free downloadable PDF, and also a collectable pocket sized book. We have to figure out how to shoehorn so many ideas into a small format… Those technical details are just details for now.
At the end of May, too, our new venture, Outsideleft Books, will publish Wayne’s collection of short fiction pieces, Moments. More information about this exciting collection will appear here soon...
