At the chaotic intersection of punk, radical politics, drugs and alcohol abuse, and mental health, Case's words traverse a burnt out, late capitalist landscape where escaping into oblivion is all too inviting. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom punchy punk poetry to apocalyptic visions, this searing work deftly combines nightmarish absurdism, gallows humour and poignant revelation to devastating effect. It shines a light on society's underbelly and reveals disillusionment, dependency and violence while the wider world hangs by a thread. Yet amongst all this, Spent recognises the bloody-minded hope that keeps us all striving. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a defiantly original and humane piece of work. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The best poetry doesn't wash off.
