New broadside from Pen Points Press

31/1/2020

​"Call us the Bastard Wing of Europe,
    a Kneecapped Ulysses,
    Little Island Floating in its own Ennui.

Call us Goat Sacrificed By Greed,
    Undrinkable Water Found In A Stream
    Running Past a Deconsecrated Church.
    A See-Saw of Drunken Economists."


​Pen Points Press has released a new broadside of five poems from Colin Dardis, launched on Friday 31st January to mark (commiserate) the United Kingdom leaving the European Union.

Much in the style of our micropress broadside, Panning For Poems, Post Brexit Blues is designed to be printed out on a double-sided A4 page and folded.

The broadside is available to download for free.

​"There is a gap between acceptance and happiness, between pride and self-knowledge; there is a gap, between who I am and who I aspire to be.
There is a gap, and in that gap – life is lived."
