Ross Sutherland: Horse at Midnight

When I lived in Liverpool I was introduced to a style of poetry known as Broochism (invented by songwriter Tom Brookes?). I can't remember the Broochist manifesto anymore, but it has something to do with being over 75% adjective and having to sound like it was written by an old lady who wears massive brooches.

Thanks to Nafe Jones, JLD and Smeech for capturing my horse. This was commissioned as part of the Bluecoat's Chapter and Verse festival in Liverpool.

This is an intangible, rambunctious, automatic, introspective, ceramic, fully comprehensive, intolerably unforthcoming, antipodean, nice, comfy, elevated, mind-bending, politically courageous, torrid poem. Well done.

Dude, actually, depends whether you like that sort of thing, but this would be awesome as a '3 minute wonder' episode on channel 4. It's just that sort of feeling I get from it. Know what I mean?

Ah I remember this from Latitude too. Me and my mate Robin really liked this one. It makes you think about to the extent to which a word is valid.
