British Avant-Garde Trans poet Verity Spott’s ode to T.S Eliot’s The Wasteland, but for the 21st Century.
The Wasteland for the 21st Century? In this wild mini-epic poem, Verity Spott takes the reader through an inferno of references and situations, from begging fascists for love to an adapted script from Christopher Nolan’s Batman films.

“For a number of years now I’ve known Verity Spott as the most extraordinary performer in British poetry today. With the elegiac-satirical prose-verse-drama Hopelessness (2020, the87press), they have created something strange, haunting and large.”—Tom Spoliar, SPAM zine
