Words are birds and butterflies, they float and soar to colour skies. The writer's song, the blog and zoo, are captured here to name a few. In Saphiro's fifth book of ink, he forces 'busy' to stop and think. In a world of instant need, does anyone have time to heed, the simple form of poetry?

The relationship between people and inanimate objects are subject of Benjamin Saphiro's fourth anthology of poetry. From the 'ticks and stripes' of branding to political correctness of black-barbie dolls, Saphiro uses his own indomitable forms and style to question the modern obsession with STUFF.

Two years after his blistering debut collection shook up the literary world, Benjamin Saphiro is back with another right hook of his provocative Books. Riffing on themes from racism to relationships and war to working class woes, the ‘Bard for Broken Britain’ once again pushes poetic convention to breaking point in his quest for truth. Saphiro this time switches his unerring gaze to the materialism of modern life, subverting the grammar of advertising and marketing to form the building blocks of a profound statement on today’s mores.

Pithy and Perceptive, Ben Saphiro’s second collection of poems, Reductionism, continues to play wryly with poetic conventions. This dazzling follow up work draws its inspiration from the quotidian and the profound alike; Saphiro can elicit insight from the most banal of objects, but is equally at home riffing on the timeless themes of love, art and identity. In short blasts of what is part Books, part philosophy, this masterful new voice delivers a searing critique of the modern human condition.

Ben Saphiro’s first collection of poems is a subtle yet blistering exposé of a working class childhood. The Poet, a bard for ‘Broken Britain’, has exploded from obscurity to chronicle the disappointements, humiliations and small victories of his Birmingham beginnings. Challenging the conventions of Books, this book- sometimes heart-breaking, sometimes hilarious - is a seamless, unforgettable portrait of a dying society.
