Everything's Heating Up Nicely

John Alexander Scott's third collection of poem's runs through the early Brexit years, the Covid lockdowns and the over-arching climate crisis. Truly troubling times!His poems suggest the Enlightenment has been forgotten as we enter a new Dark Age, an age of secular superstition, carefully managed and exploited by self-obsessed right-wing politicians, their &quote;witchfinder&quote; clergy media and all funded by the insatiable narcissism and greed of the corporations and the billionaire class. By turns provocative and motivational, his poems are reflective, compassionate, self-deprecating, bemused, humorous, concerned, nostalgic, loving, surreal, perceptive, romantic, angry, hopeful, sarcastic, resilient. Something there for everyone, surely!&quote;A wicked satirical edge. Blisteringly funny and meaningful, his work will make you crack up while simultaneously filling you with a mortal terror with the prospect of a bleak and alienating future. The Kabaret at Kittchen, Hawkshead. &quote;Scott's writing takes an angled yet committed view on environmental issues, political ineptness, the growing power of the right-wing, personal relationships, a healthy obsession with the banal and a helping of the pure daft as well.&quote; Lancaster Spotlight. &quote;F***king brilliant! Reminds me of Ivor Cutler&quote; Laura Taylor, poet/compere.
