Distant Dystopia

By Lewis Hyden

Treading the line between dystopian fiction and reality, Distant Dystopia is a collection of thirty-five of the earliest works by Lewis Hyden, an emerging poet from the UK. With a sharp technique and careful attention to poetic imagery, Hyden's poetry reflects on the ramifications of urban expansion and dishonest corporate practises in the developed world. His work is accessible and stimulative, yet gritty and direct in its approach to real-world social, political, and environmental concerns. The first of his published works, Distant Dystopia accounts for almost a year of poetic content. Many of the included poems were influenced by Hyden's personal life, his rapidly developing home city of Bristol, and incitement from classic works of neo-noir dystopian fiction.
