Poetry. APOCALYPSO is Tim Cumming's long-awaited first book. Drawing from a series of highly-praise pamphlet collections as well as from powerful new work, APOCALYPSO is by turns vivid, intimate, complex and direct, an extraordinary journey to the heart of our lives and culture. Cumming is a master of deadpan menace and telling juxtaposition ... has a telling turn of phrase, and a good few ways with narrative. For sheer inventiveness aligned with engagement, avoiding the whining purely subjective tone of some 'political' verse, and startling images and ideas, you'll go a long way before beating this ... nothing less than astonishing - Scratch.

Apocalypso is a world inhabited by the perpetually disappointed, for whom nothing is as promised, nothing turns out as hoped. Through the urban detritus tramp a procession of the alienated and estranged, their lives summed up by useless objects.
