The Hell In me The Hell In you

UK born writer photographer and filmmaker Craig Podmore brings us another 131 pounds of flesh in his new and gravel-rash-raw collection of poetry The Hell in Me the Hell in You. A textual viewpoint of a nightmarish pop-culture of the future; a snuff television addled society and dirty cum-faced blow jobs Craig invites De Sade to the table and serves him with blood and champagne. Its bleak unrelenting and it will most likely piss a lot of people off like all good literature with intent and purpose it proposes a dark viewpoint of reality that is hard to argue against or ignore.The poems are short punchy and without dull prose or unnecessary lines. Some things are just a soft tap a quick squizz over and it's done put the book down and walk away. Craig's work in this collection is as much a punch in the face to readas it would have been to write and to live. Solid and meaty this book burns spot fires exactly where they should be lit; in your guts. - Ben John Smith
