Totally Cultured

By Dan Simpson

Whilst the familiar themes of science and technology are examined with

the snappily-smart observations he's known for, in his second collection

Dan Simpson taps into a more personal and poignant voice. By turns

robust and vulnerable, the book is shot through with the sense of humour

and linguistic dexterity for which the former Canterbury Laureate has

built a reputation in the world of spoken word. Unafraid to play with

form and structure, the collection includes a one-vowel-only black cab

journey; a music review featuring all the words first coined in 1985; and

a shape poem in the shape of a poem. Featuring pieces from four fulllength

solo shows, plus material written for residencies and commissions,

Totally Cultured is poetry at its most engaging and contemporary.
