Silent But Dudley: Black Country Blues
Paperback
– December 25, 2017
This book collects straight ahead prose with go-on-then poetry, directly
inspired by Dudley, Stourbridge, Lye, Brierley Hill, and the West
Midlands of England. Edited in Amsterdam, 2017 and Montevideo January
2018. The project started in 2005 shortly after I protested the closure
of Brierley Hill swimming baths and soon after those at Closeley.
The
dubious nature of these closures forced me to question other similar
projects. In just over a decade, it seemed as if the privatization
process was consuming an entire country, spawning an end-to-end shopping
complex crammed full of needless shite.
Shopping malls, swimming baths,
Brexit, fake news, friends who passed, international finance
capitalism, immigration, rivers, a conspiracy of spies, racism, death,
facebook, trolls, left/right politics, and sadly not Mark E Smith are
some subjects expounded upon. All I am saying is give thought a dance.
