Leo's Esoteric Prose

Living up to its title, Leo's Esoteric Prose is a charming collection of poetry all about life, from the big to the small. Jumping around from topic to topic, going from the perspective of a football manager of a reserve team to a deep dive into addiction, be it drugs or technology, this new, daring collection is erratic in nature but coherent in the way it sheds light on every element of human nature. Rather than getting too bogged down in dourness though, Leo's Esoteric Prose explores these different perspectives all with an underlying sense of humour and a huge amount of reflective poignancy. Between "Despair" and its references to The Jeremy Kyle Show or "Orwell," which uses the seminal 1984 as a base to comment on truth, technology and society, the collection comes with an underlying point of view unlike any other. Moving from current, contemporary topics to cast an eye back and reflect on history, language and culture, there's little Leo's Esoteric Prose doesn't touch upon over its intimate journey through the mind of one of the most exciting authors working today.
