"Confessions of a Non-Political Man" is a book of comic poetry "full of Poundian energy and learning" (Gabriel Rosenstock). It uses the principle of chance and applies it to the curious world of social media. It aims, in a humorous and playful fashion, to surprise, intrigue and amuse. Strongly rooted in the Modernist tradition of Pound, Eliot, Cummings and Ginsberg the poetry ricochets down the centuries and touches on many languages, cultures and works of literature. It mixes these ingredients with social media postings and produces a contemporary sound and energy that is quite unique.
