  Night & Ox is a long poem working its interruptions to a degree where it's broken by the will to live. A poem that invokes expansive loneliness, where the poet's emotional response is to endure. A crushed line of astral forms and anatomy in perpetual remove; it is a poem that nurtures vulnerability: some soft-footed embryo sounds against language’s viscera. Night & Ox possesses a feral minimalism for those too tired and too frantic with joy to cope with narrative.
  
   
  ‘A fierce, ladderlike cri de cÅ?ur – at times a cri de cur – Night & Ox pulses with sawblade nocturnes that gnaw through the very rungs on which they’re wrung. One part Jabberwocky-talkie, one part fatherhood ode, the poem seeks a threshold, where the “mondayescent�* gives way to ardour, splendour, even love. Scott is a cosmoglot of the throat’s ravine, and this is his manic, pandemonic article of faith.’ – Andrew Zawacki
  
   
  Praise for Blert:
  
   
  ‘Scott takes us down to the basement of words, where sound and rhythm rule, and poets learn their craft. Blert is a strange and gorgeous work of linguistic materialism.' – Dennis Lee

  7:34pmOne day you too will have stopped searching strangers’ eyes for companionship.You won’t lie in a cold bed with nothing but dark thoughts to warm you.You will not order a pizza for yourself in an empty apartment.One day you will look into your lover’s eyes.You will no longer feel alone. 
  The poetry of 2am Thoughts condenses an entire relationship, with all its untamed emotions and experiences, into a single day. As the long hours of the night drag on, we experience the obsession, fear, neuroticism, and the deep, universal longing for love. 
  ‘This was a journey of nostalgia. I was swept up in memories of first love, first heartbreak, and healing, all within the span of one evening’ Courtney Peppernell, author of Pillow Thoughts

  Fifty Shades of London - 50 of...

  This vast and teeming metropolis that many of us call home sits astride a small river on a small island anchored off the north-west shores of Europe.   Yet its very name ‘London’ is famed, admired and known worldwide.  Its growth from hamlet, town, fortification, city and centre of Empire is one of rich reward.  Within its ever-changing borders that are forever moving outwards are gems of architecture across cultures, times and influences that exist in very few other places.  Its diaspora of peoples and cultures overlap, thrive, compete and influence this leviathan of a world city.

  A horror comedy about trying to build a normal life when nothing about life is normal.
  Jaden, Nur and baby Aya have escaped another country and ended up in a rotting room in London. While Nur is at college, Jaden chews leaves and has visions of giant rabbits with burning red eyes. He thinks Aya is someone else, someone dangerous. But she's just a baby. Isn't she?
  Buggy Baby premiered at The Yard, London, in March 2018, directed by Ned Bennett.
  'Like a surreal Harold Pinter play, Josh Azouz's brilliantly warped fairytale is very weird and uncomfortably funny' - Guardian
  'Bizarre, baffling, brilliant… tells a serious story about emigration and social isolation in the most stylised way possible' - The Stage
  'A surreal but not uncaring comedy about the isolation and alienation of becoming a refugee, shut off and going slightly mad… undeniably bloody stimulating' - Time Out
  'Flits between kitchen sink realism to surrealism and from comedy to horror… a story of poverty, refugees, single mums, post-traumatic stress disorder, and bunny rabbits carrying bazookas' - Independent
