Jizz - new poetry collection from John 'Shedman' Davies


A supporter of Shedworking from the beginning, John 'Shedman' Davies has an excellent new and selected collection out from Kingston University Press called Jizz (a term used by birdwatchers to describe the overall impression of a bird from various features such as posture, size, and location - in the US the book will be called 'Nest'). As with his previous works, John includes shed mentions but landscape also provides a major focus as does everyday life. Our favourites are Gardener's Question Time ("Astride the shed, he pulls the roof felt up") and Walden Life, and it's good to see old favourite Maximum Shed in there, which is worth the cost of the book alone. Another triumph from Shedman and a must for all shedworkers' bookshelves.

Here is John below in full performance flow.
