Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

In the first quarter of the twenty-first century, it is hard to hear anything against the continuous white noise and shouting of barefaced political lies—especially from the Tories—through PR, advertising and social media. There are so many words saying nothing, and too many contemporary poets add to this white noise, writing about themselves and their private dramas. The poets in The Shouting Tories are doing their best to defend the language. This is public art, arguments about society and politics made with clarity, force and precision. These writers avoid sentimentality and rhetoric—they say what they mean and mean what they say. —Andy Croft, poet and publisher of Smokestack Books.
