Fresh Failure: New Poems by John Tottenham
The eagerly anticipated new volume of poetry by acclaimed author and artist John Tottenham. Tottenham's previous collections - The Hate Poems; Antiepithalamia & Other Poems of Regret and Resentment; The Inertia Variations (a multi-media interpretation of which was released by Matt Johnson, otherwise known as The The, in 2017) - established him as this day's leading contemporary poet maudit. Fresh Failure features a deepening and broadening of Tottenham's trademark Magical Cynicism and Magnanimous Misanthropy. With hilariously ruthless ruminations on the artistic ego and the romantic id, Tottenham gives voice to the kind of thoughts most people prefer not to express but will automatically relate to and be entertained by. It's the kind of poetry that is accessible to people who don't read poetry (i.e., everybody). Fresh Failure is ultimately a Triumph of Failure, and proves, as Jean-Luc Godard said, that poetry really is 'a game of loser take all.'
Tottenham, John: - John Tottenham is a British-born writer & artist living in Los Angeles. After graduating from London's worst art school in the mid-'80s, Tottenham moved to the US, where he has resided ever since, mostly toiling upon the lower slopes of journalism. After many years of resistance, he finally sold out to the lucrative, fast-paced world of poetry. He is the author of The Inertia Variations - an epic poetic cycle on the subjects of work avoidance, failure, & indolence. The work was hailed as a terrific collection in the Guardian, quiescent genius by Mojo Magazine, and comedy gold by 3: AM.
