Synopsis "Jellied Eels & Multi-Culturalism: A Poetry Collection on Modern Life in the UK (in English)"
"Modest about our national pride - and inordinately proud of our national modesty." Ian Hislop Step into the vibrant tapestry of modern Britain with this collection of thought-provoking poems. Meet a member of the "Lager, lager, lager" generation, his conversations around the iconic Blur vs. Oasis debate. Raised with the belief, that, hard work leads to a fulfilling career and your home was your castle, these dreams were crushed by the 2008 financial crash. Now in his mid-40s, the poet questions, what's the essence of Britannia and, where does the Empire, The Royal Family and The Commonwealth fit into the modern world? The poems tackle questions that resonate with many Brits today: What defines our national identity? Is work-life balance attainable? Do we truly embrace differences, be they religious, ethnicity or sexual? And, perhaps most intriguingly, how does technology shape our present and what role will it play in our future? This collection delves into the heart of a rebellious island nation that values independence and creativity, but which has a widening socio-economic divide and democratic deficit. The UK is a country which venerates its past, is navigating a turbulent present and faces an uncertain future.
