God Missed The Last Bus And Walked Home: a new collection of poems by Oliver James Lomax. Publishing May 2021.
‘Poems that dance with originality and are tenderly unafraid of love and belonging.’
– Mark Thomas
“Oliver James Lomax’s new collection of poems sees the emergence of a hyper- vivid voice travelling the length of the country through its ruins and towns, locking antlers with folklore, telling the most broken of fables and the strangest of tales with a deft insight. He confronts his ancestors with an open heart, and paints love and grief on these pages with humour, beauty and a raw urgency. Join him as he hangs a religious triptych backstage at a Beach Boys concert, journeys to a land ruled by Peter Ustinov, finds sanctuary in the libraries of the North West, watches as two chickens vow for their freedom in Eccles and tries to comprehend Brexit in Warwick Castle gift shop. Set sail in this sister ship, this sidekick, this stunning sequel to The Dandelion Clock.”
– Jeff Towns, Dylan’s Bookstore
