English Poetry Anthology

In 1890 W. B. Yeats and Ernest Rhys founded a poetry club. Based mainly at Fleet Street’s immortal ‘Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese’ pub, with occasional appearances at the Domino room in the Café Royal, poets gathered together to dine and drink. Whilst it was based on a core of poets, many others attended on an ad hoc basis including Oscar Wilde, Francis Thompson & Lord Alfred Douglas. The camaraderie, banter and poetry that played out in their dreams, ambitions and for many, their difficult lives led Yeats to call them ‘the tragic generation’.

Stories matter. In this collection of poems and stories that are shaped like poems, Ken Briodagh hopes to say that every story has the potential to educate, titillate, entertain, and stimulate.

Here, he explores being queer, loving as much as possible, living polyamorous, and his probable overfondness of allegory. (Note: Sorry, Papa Tolkien.)
