Mick Guffan Book order

This selection of 'new poems' is partly sourced from an extensive archive found hidden in the poet's former abode. Within these pages: alcohol, melancholia, Get Carter, menstrual blood, loneliness, unsatisfying sexual encounters, fading personal relationships, passionate trysts, emotional breakdowns and so on. Perseverance by the reader will, however, be rewarded with glimpses of humour, goodwill and even compassion. But always with Mr Guffan's barely concealed complicity to be 'bent for the job'.

Inner London Buddha is the definitive collection by poet/builder Mick Guffan. Over a hundred poems, gleaned from numerous long out-of-print chapbooks and obscure literary magazines, consider such diverse and troublesome subjects as unemployment, melancholia, The Wild Bunch, alcohol, heroin, crystal meth, sex, pornography, Tramadol, buddhism, James Joyce, the family, the construction industry, perverted landlords and yes, some love for good measure.
