My new book of unique beat driven poetry is ready to orgasmically burst out into the world... so you'd better watch out! Whitewolf's about.


Come on cats, let's go.
Let's teach those old dog cheap trick beatniks some new kicks and bottle up and blow.
Explode, like helter skelter moon dogs in the night.
Overdose with bebop prose bent towards the ears of no fear's generation.
A new razzmatazz jazz jerking sensation.

-From 'The Beats Go On'.


NEW BEAT NEWBIE.

Written in a frantic blur of inspiration over the first two months of 2015, this short collection of contemporary neo-beat poetry by spiritual travel writer Harry Whitewolf is a passionately delivered, in your face dose of pop prose for the digital, conspiratorial, twenty first century world.

Political poems like Kissinger Can Kiss My Ass and Frack Off ride alongside conspiracy themed odes like Illuminate Me Illuminati and Fly Your False Flags. There are beat homages (Cider With Snyder, The New Beat Newbies), mystical musings (Bye Bye Bao Bao, Mystic Prison), poems mimicking and mocking the modern age (#Smiley Face, Googling Goo), as well as tales of timeless hedonism (Legless Pub Crawls, Malbec Green Bottle Neck).

Both comic and tragic, angry and compassionate, this collection of new poems is ultimately Whitewolf's howling for a peaceful revolution. Beginning with rhythmic baby new beats.

Thanks for your interest!

I would also like to thank Mat Kondo, not only for his liberal allowance of my stealing the term 'neo-beat' from him, but also for his book First Harvest: Collected Poems, 2003-2013 for igniting the poetic flame.

Here are my three latest short videos of contemporary performance beat poetry for your viewing and listening pleasure (or other emotion, depending on your point of view).

SICK OF POLITICS

This was a staple favourite to perform back in the day when I actually performed my poetry live!

An anti-fracking poem with looping fracking beats!

And here's the blurb:

Propaganda Monkeys: Twenty Poems From My Twenties is a short collection of punch packing prose pieces bursting with youthful vision, confusion and yearning. Amongst its pages, you’ll discover: vivid political anger, reflections on love, scepticism towards the plugged-in Capitalist world, a little bit of no-nonsense nonsense, personal moments of coping with depression, a sprinkle of wry humour, and a contemporary dose of boundary pushing, beat pumping verse, from when author Harry Whitewolf was just a cub.
