Dave Lewis' eight book is a new collection of contemporary poetry. 'Dave Lewis' new work opens with Henry Thoreau's famous quote, "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation". Very apt in our Twitter-twatter, X-Box-Factor age when apathy, indifference, and resignation is the norm and the - increasingly - lost generation slumber party away their lives wearing Onesies. This book of verse is polemical, confessional, a slap in the face wake-up call, and a much needed challenge to all "those up there" who should have, and could have made it better.' - John Evans 'At times witty, at times gritty, Dave Lewis has produced a fascinating collection on human connection. The humour is dark, the love is bright, the poetry is touching, taunting, spewing, galling, tender. Modern life is out there and engulfing but the passion for truth still lives. Roadkill overflows with personality, it's a roller-coaster ride, and to use the words of the poet "I'm smiling like Tenby".' - Eloise Williams
