Poems Less Spoken is a bit of a one-off from Dean Fraser. Anyone who has seen the man live will testify he possesses a silly sense of humour, in Poems Less he really lets rip in his only collection to date that doesn't take itself too seriously and is genuinely laugh out loud funny.
The poet tells of travel not exactly going according to plan and ensuing misadventures, cultural discovery sending him to sleep, how he unwittingly became a very unwilling model, observing city life illuminated on a Friday night by a full moon, getting mistaken for Paul (whoever he might be ) and also a Scottish person, we get a gratis lesson in speaking Croatian and finish off the book with a tongue-firmly-in-cheek film-noir short story.
Eclectic? Oh yes and all the better for this - If you enjoy off-the-wall, hilarious and often downright bizarre poetry, you have arrived at your destination. What are we saying? You don't even need like poetry to enjoy Poems Less
