A Dog’s Brexit


My new verse satire, A Dog’s Brexit, is now available! I will be reading it at the Ledbury Poetry Festival on 2nd July.

Published by Melos you can order it here using the Paypal button.

Here is the Melos blurb for the pamphlet:

Nicholas Murray's poetry is marked by fine craftsmanship and a warm and precise wit, particularly in his political satires. The first of these, an attack on the Coalition government, Get Real! was described in the Times Literary Supplement as a “bravura display of finely controlled outrage” The second, Trench Feet, concentrates on the crass and cynical attempt by an academic to make a TV documentary on the First World War poets, and was commended by the Poetry Book Society as a “witty and erudite lampoon.”...and now comes, A Dog’s Brexit, a funny and caustic look at the Brexiteers’ case and the rise of far right populism.

Already the poem has been liked by the Times Literary Supplement:-
