Joe’s new poetry collection Allegro on the Overpass will be published by Yaffle Press in November, and is available to pre-order now via PayPal.
If you order now you’ll be one of the first to get your copy when they arrive, plus you’ll get £1 off the regular price.
Reflecting on a decade of political upheaval and global uncertainty, the poems in Allegro on the Overpass explore the stories of ordinary people getting on with their lives while the world burns, both literally and figuratively. Against a backdrop of climate change, wealth inequality, and a global pandemic, at the heart of it all is Joe’s trademark dry humour, revelling in the absurd, with the occasional moment of heartbreaking tenderness, often delivered as a punch when you least expect it.
“Lady Gaga is living above a vape shop in west Leeds. Audrey Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich have had a massive falling-out. Wealth inequality has got worse than in Marley’s Ghost’s wildest dreams. Allegro on the Overpass is a superb collection, full of poignant detail about people’s lives, understated fury at the injustices of the world, and a sense of humour so dry someone should buy it a pint.”

“Joe’s poems are often filled with a wry humour. They like to poke fun at the pompous and those who take themselves too seriously, but he can also write with great tenderness, vulnerability and lyricism.”
