  If Lost - Poems by Clint Bowman

  Inspired by the mountains, forests, animals, and people of Appalachia, If Lost is Clint Bowman's exhilarating debut about how these elements collide and struggle to co-exist in an ever-changing landscape. Bowman's poems are a guide through this beautiful, brutal, and often misunderstood world where threats to the region come from all sides. Invasive species strangle the trees around corrupt churches and failing convenience stores, while truckers cry in parking lots and deer contemplate death along the highway. In If Lost, Bowman demonstrates how everyone and everything is lost in some way, but that it's possible to find a way out. 
    
  Praise for If Lost  
  “You can feel the thickness in the air, the smells, and the overgrown nature of it all. A poetry deeply connected to the place from which it comes.” 
  —Keith Zarriello, musician and lead singer of The Shivers 
    
  “In this astounding collection, truckers cry, milkweed and honeysuckle overtake, poinsettias wilt in winter frost, and bear hunters haunt the stories of our conscience...” 
  —Garrett Ashley, author of Periphylla, and Other Deep Ocean Attractions 
    
  “If Lost offers us a starkly honest and rarely seen western North Carolina, with all its diverse species in bitter harmony… We cannot know what the future holds for this delicate region and its people, but these poems will keep you warm and light your way.” 
  —Leah Hampton, author of F*ckface and Other Stories 
    
  “…Bowman encompasses the complexity and beauty of what it means to be from the American South, capturing the quiet, sometimes bleak magic that encompasses his world.”  
  —Thomas Dollbaum, musician

  Read by the author, John Cooper Clarke.'Nothing short of dazzling' – Alex TurnerDr John Cooper Clarke's dazzling, scabrous voice has reverberated through pop culture for decades, his influence on generations of performance poets and musicians plain for all to see.

James Brown, John F. Kennedy, Jesus Christ: nobody is safe from the punk rocker's acerbic pen – and that's just the first poem.Hot on the heels of The Luckiest Guy Alive and his sprawling, encyclopaediac memoir I Wanna Be Yours, the good Doctor returns with his most trenchant collection of poems yet. Vivid and alive, with a sensitivity only a writer with a life as varied and extraordinary as Cooper Clarke's could summon, WHAT is an exceptional collection from one of our foremost satirists.

  Katie has just arrived from London. She's finally got a council flat, somewhere for her and her daughter, Daisy. A fresh start.
  In adversity, people come together. But when the system is stacked against you, how does anyone get by? With 14.5 million people (Joseph Rowntree Foundation 2022 Poverty Report) living in poverty in the UK, this is not fiction. It is reality.
  I, Daniel Blake was originally a film – directed by Ken Loach, written by Paul Laverty and produced by Rebecca O'Brien for Sixteen Films – which won the 2016 Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. This touching and vital stage adaptation by Dave Johns, who played Dan in the film, toured the UK in 2023, co-produced by tiny dragon Productions, Northern Stage, Birmingham Rep and ETT, in association with Cardboard Citizens.
  'A gut-wrenching tragicomic drama… Paul Laverty's brilliantly insightful script finds much that is moving (and often surprisingly funny) in the unbreakable social bonds of so-called "broken Britain".'Guardian on Ken Loach's film
