About the book
This handsome edition of poetry recreates the format of D.H. Lawrence's 'Selected Poetry' (Penguin, 1959) with Childish's own gritty, moving and tragi-comic poetry. An earlier edition privately published as an artwork by L-13 notoriously copied the Penguin cover inciting questions about open creative rights, authorship and identity. This new edition, being made available to the wider reading public for the first time, once again pastiches the Penguin look but with a copyright-friendly design using Childish's signature hangman gallows symbol.
