“David Floyd’s debut poetry collection excels in its sharp observation of the absurd. While Floyd finds plenty of subjects to satirise from office politics to our collective inability to tackle the climate crisis, he does so with a lightness of touch and an unfailing ability to surprise with his brilliant originality.” Lisa Kelly“David Floyd’sWriting and performanceTickles your ribsAnd enlightens your SoulwithAcute poignant truths,And off beat rhythmsAndOccasionallyMakes you laugh out loudAt life’s quaint and tragicabsurdities”Abe Gibson
