Poetry for the Busy
Mind (2014)
Currently unavailable
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?

STUFF (2012)
Currently unavailable
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.

‘REDUCTS’ (2011)
Currently unavailable
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.

Reductionism (2009)
Currently unavailable
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.

The Regressive Years (2009)
Currently unavailable
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.
