Fiery Words for Hellish Times

As the news goes from awful to worse, Attila the Stockbroker chronicles his times – as he has done for the last four-and-a-half decades. These are poems to make you laugh, cry, get angry, and above all, think! “Pithy and persuasive or eloquent and expansive – but never dull.” —Morning Star “A profound source of reassurance and comfort in troubled times.” —Louder Than War Punk poet, latterly dub poet, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Attila the Stockbroker exploded into public consciousness in 1982-3 via two John Peel sessions and a Melody Maker front cover, and is now celebrating 45 years earning a living doing what he loves. So far: 4000 gigs in 24 countries, some 20 CDs/LPs, ten books of poems, an autobiography, Arguments Yard (Cherry Red Books, 2015), and collected works, Heart on my Sleeve (Cherry Red Books, 2021). Fiery Words for Hellish Times is Attila’s most topical and incendiary publication yet. Powerful, passionate, personal, political performance poetry.
