The eighth collection of poems from British poet Alan Morrison. These poems are passports to a twisted conservative notion of salvation through benefit & welfare sanction; a series of verse-missives from the frontline of the war against the poor and its spirit-stripping weapons of food banks, poor doors, and homeless spikes.
