The UK launch of Keston Sutherland's new poetry collection Meditations

Meditations is a book of devotional exercises for crushed heads, love poems for a dead woman, a picaresque tour of revolutionary beheadings, sestinas in lifts and doorways, delirious lectures on the history of farming, Xerxes, quack remedies, pest control, flooring, the debt recovery market, geese, death, and planks.

The excellent Rosy Carrick who is promoting the event says “He will read an excerpt followed by time to talk, to buy a copy of the book and to hang out with lots of cool people while drinking a delicious beverage, listening to excellent music and telling Keston how brilliant he is”

Keston Sutherland has written many books, including Scherzos Benjyosos (2020), Whither Russia (2017), Poetical Works 1999-2015 (2015), The Odes to TL61P (2013), The Stats on Infinity (2011), Stress Position (2009), Hot White Andy (2007) and Neocosis (2005).
