Lyric Poetry & Drama

The Terrors is a sequence of imagined emails; poetic missives from the start of the 21st century to inmates at London's notorious Newgate Prison. Mimicking the tone of its primary source, The Newgate Calendar, The Terrors tacks from horror to humour, from moral disgust to the casual chitchat of the digital generation, all the time delineating London's violent urban undercurrent in bold, energetic and sometimes shocking language.
