Working Class Voodoo and Hex
Dark metaphysics and magic from two visionary poets. Praised as ‘Brutal, honest, and startlingly good’ (Bethany W. Pope), Bobby Parker’s ground-breaking and radical Working Class Voodoo is a wild, fantastical and electrifyingly original collection of confessional poems exploring masculinity, the family, desire and addictions.
In the barbaric and bewitching Hex by Jennie Farley (Indigo Dreams) the everyday is imbued with old magic from myth, legend and folklore. Characters in these tales include deviant goddesses, eccentric old ladies, a female arm-wrestler, a cross-dresser and an erring priest who play out narratives inspired by passion, unrequited love, loneliness and intimations of mortality.
Hex has been described as ‘A place you will enter and never want to leave’ by Nina Lewis.
Concessions apply only to minors (under 18s), full-time students under the age of 25 and those officially registered as disabled or unemployed.
