As the news goes from awful to worse, Attila the Stockbroker chronicles his times in poem and song as he has done for more than four decades. Laugh, cry, get angry, above all, think! He exploded into public consciousness in 1982-3 via two John Peel sessions and a Melody Maker front cover and is now celebrating 43 years earning his living doing what he loves.

Attila's words about his new book:

My 10th book of poems and my most incendiary collection ever, much of it written in the past year. 88 pages and the title says it all. Dedicated to anyone who feels completely beaten down by the seemingly never-ending streams of bad news, in the hope that my words will bring you strength and make you smile too. For there isn't just rage here: there's lots of love as well. Love for the planet, for humanity, for my friends and above all for my wife Robina. And then, of course, there are the silly bits and the rude bits. I've always said that my favourite quote comes not from Marx, or Sartre, or Eisler, but Mary Poppins. 'A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down!'
