Bad Sermons is a loose, anarchic sequence from Forward Prize shortlisted poet Luke Kennard. Described by the author as 'a thriller in 23 parts' Bad Sermons' sunken narrative pushes the poet into strange and surreal places, free from formal constraints, with ample space to admire "the blue glare of the blue glare" and "tiny black marzipan teardrops". Bad Sermons is a curious and compelling work from an essential poet.
