Poetry takeaway #NaPoWriMo (day 27)

Second blog post from the motorway. Large up the Poetry Takeaway it’s always a pleasure.

My poetry recommendation for today is Gabriel Jones aka Bump Kin if you’re following his music production which is so very dope. The way he uses imagery is left field and spectacular in such an incredible way. Follow him on twitter @GabrielPJones and a video of one of his poems is embedded below.

Colston Hall

These buildings are built in shackles.
The chains have rusted to bricks,
corroded into infrastructure.
Scratch away the names,
remove their glory and expose the chains.
