Mark Burnhope is a poet, editor and political activist and he informs us that Paul Hawkins is someone 'ruthlessly political and socially aware'  and I wouldn't dispute that in any way. I find this collection of almost Oulipian-style poems to be constrained and yet fiercely free... IMHO a truly great collection which erbacce is proud to have been a small part of.

Paul also had a chapbook published with us some time earlier and this also is available

The CONTUMACY collection is 96pp and perfect-bound while Claremont Road (essentially poems relating to and describing an infamous 'squat' which the poet was involved in) is a chapbook of 36 pages.
