British Avant-Garde Trans poet Verity Spott's ode to T.S Eliot's The Wasteland, but for the 21st Century.
The Wasteland for the 21st Century? In this wild mini-epic poem, Verity Spott takes the reader through an inferno of references and situations, from begging fascists for love to an adapted script from Christopher Nolan's Batman films.
