Description
New Boots and Pantisocracies brings together over 100 poets in response to the changing UK political landscape. For the first 100 days of the new government, Bill Herbert and Andy Jackson published a poem a day on their blog, recording life under the new regime. This collection takes its name from the idealistic plans for social utopia and Ian Dury's iconic album, capturing the spirit of resistance and contrarian voices in contemporary poetry. Featuring contributions from notable poets such as Sean O'Brien, Sheenagh Pugh, Daljit Nagra, Claudia Daventry, Ian Duhig, Michael Rosen, Polly Clark, Ian McMillan, George Szirtes, and Malika Booker, New Boots and Pantisocracies is a book of poems and polemics that reflect the complexities of our time. It is a collection of appalled but not entirely despairing voices, offering a unique perspective on the world we live in today. With its diverse range of poets and perspectives, this book provides a thought-provoking exploration of the UK's changing politics and society.
