Shut Up Slow Down Let Go Breathe

Half wisecracking tour guide and half flirtatious trick, the poems in Shut Up Slow Down Let Go Breathe
examine how we respond to overwork and overstimulation. McCann’s third
collection speaks to a world that is too busy and too anxious,
delivering the material with zero reverence and with loads of
self-deprecating, disarming, observational - and sometimes catty -
humour. Inviting readers to be his “bandmates / on life’s slutty bus
tour,” Shut Up Slow Down Let Go Breathe marks a fresh new direction in Marcus McCann’s poetics.

“McCann’s work is a must for any lover of poems.”—Northumberland Today
