Oi You Lot Summary

Oi You Lot by Kareem Parkins-Brown

'The sky belongs to everybody and everybody belongs to the sky. When the genie comes out, wish for late buses and missed trains, and beers on benches, because when someone is gone, they are gone.' Kareem Parkins-Browns highly-anticipated pamphlet is an audacious and richly plural celebration of friends and selves, present and otherwise. In Parkins-Browns hands, language bends like an illusionists spoon a dazzling, fisheye-lens distortion of daily grief, absurdity and communion while reminding us always that the trick is to carry on living.

Oi You Lot Reviews

Kareem Parkins-Browns excellent pamphlet is like a funeral held in a bouncy castle: the line-breaks slip on their own tears, jumping mourners get bruised by their collisions and the laughing starts to sound a lot like crying. Caroline Bird; I have been waiting for this book for years. There's no voice like Kareem Parkin-Brown's. Sacred and profane, these are critical, kinetic poems for, and of, right now. Rachel Long; Kareem Parkins-Brown is one of the most beloved wordsmiths on the London poetry circuit. Oi You Lot will show its readers why. Raymond Antrobus
