First Nettles Against the Regime of the Fluent 000 Years in Sing SingDom Hale First Nettles collects poems written between 2021 and 2024 from precarious off key lyrics to sprawling elegies of damaged life. A book of flailing, desperate music, hurt and hopeful, held together by pins and gaffer tape, art and courage and comradeship. Includes the sequence Seizures (2022) perfect in its openness and lyrical disfigurement (Danny Hayward).
