Oi You Lot

'The sky belongs to everybody and everybody belongs to the sky. When the genie comes out, wish for late busesand missed trains, and beers on benches,because when someone is gone, they are gone.' Kareem Parkins-Brown's highly-anticipated pamphlet is an audacious and richly plural celebration of friends and selves, present and otherwise. In Parkins-Brown's hands, language bends like an illusionist's spoon – a dazzling, fisheye-lens distortion of daily grief, absurdity and communion – while reminding us always that the trick is to carry on living. 'Kareem Parkins-Brown's excellent pamphlet is like a funeral held in a bouncy castle: the line-breaks slip on their own tears, jumping mourners get bruised by their collisions and the laughing starts to sound a lot like crying.' Caroline Bird 'I have been waiting for this book for years. There's no voice like Kareem Parkin-Brown's. Sacred and profane, these are critical, kinetic poems for, and of, right now.' Rachel Long 'Kareem Parkins-Brown is one of the most beloved wordsmiths on the London poetry circuit. 'Oi You Lot' will show its readers why.' Raymond Antrobus
