Synopsis

Sticky by Andy Croft

“Andy Croft helps to keep us cheerful.” — Penniless Press

Sticky is a book of poems about an age of imperial slaughter already sticky with blood and lies. Sticks and stones may break our bones, but depleted uranium really hurts us.

Sticky is a book about the stuck and the sticky, the straight and the crooked. Armed with only a pile of spooky sticks - and a sticky file of spooks - Andy Croft sets off in search of the Land of Righteousness.

He gets the wrong end of the stick in Vulgaria and finds himself in a sticky situation in Mudfog. When he meets the ghosts of Brecht, Bunyan and Baron Munchausen - by the banks of the river Styx - he realises he can’t stick it any more. It’s poetry for the pessimistick…

“An incredibly diverse selection of poems that covers a whole range of thoughts and experiences ... Honest, moving and often funny.” -
