Our Saturday Poem is an extract from Lobsters, the new chapbook from Wayne Holloway-Smith, a boundary-breaking mix of songbook and ‘elastic melodrama’. Holloway-Smith’s previous collections, Alarum and Love Minus Love, are both firm bookshop favourites: he’s electrifying, unpredictable, a proper Saturday morning treat.
