Unthinking

Les Coleman

Unthinking

Just my right up my cup of tea street.

Roger McGough

Les Coleman’s cocked hat is a pistol of uncommon sense levelled at those treacherous concepts which infiltrate our neat mental suburbs crowing like cocks and so on…

George Melly

Repair man to our tired thoughts, Les gets our sentences up on to his bench, tinkers about with them and puts them back together — just off, out of sync, skew-whiff.

Patrick Hughes

Humour and Truth having a ‘quickie’ in some Holy Place.

Peter Blegvad

Unthinking flips the silver spoon from memory’s mouth.

Tom Raworth

I think there is nothing wrong with his pictures.

Art Spiegelman

A Certain Koslowski

Michael Augustin

A Certain Koslowski

The author confesses to having been influenced by Zbigniew Herbert and Flann O'Brien at the same time. Whatever their origin, they constitute a delightfully amusing collection, and the whole is enhanced by a series of apposite illustrations by Hartmut Eing.
