A Coppola Collection
LUPO contributor Luigi Coppola has a first book out (with free prize draw) from Broken Sleep Books, 'the award-winning working-class indie publisher putting access to the arts at the forefront,' which is publishing 'Even God Gets Distracted Sometimes' - his debut collection of poetry and music with art by Mark Shuttleworth.
This is described as “a playful yet incisive collection that interweaves poetry and visual art to explore contemporary life through surreal fables, sharp satire, and speculative reimaginings. From meditations on extinction and urban decay to absurd reinventions of myth and folklore, the work moves freely between the comic and the unsettling.”
