Reckless Paper Birds by John McCullough

Reckless Paper Birds by John McCullough

£9.99Price
Surreal, joyful, political and queer, Reckless Paper Birds is a collection to treasure by Polari Prize-winning poet John McCullough.
 
These exuberant poems welcome you into a psychedelic, parallel world of ‘vomit and blossom’ where Kate Bush mingles with a weeping Lady Gaga, a ‘fractal coast’ full of see-through things: water, mirrors, glass pebbles.
 
With a magpie’s eye for hidden charms, McCullough ranges across birdlife, Grindr and My Little Pony while also addressing social issues from homelessness to homophobia.
 
Winner of the 2020 Hawthornden Prize 
Shortlisted for the 2019 Costa Poetry Award
