{"product_id":"the-wickedest","title":"The Wickedest","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCaleb Femi returns with a landmark, life-affirming new poetry collection, The Wickedest. This is a minute-by-minute depiction of a typical night at a legendary monthly house party known as 'The Wickedest'. Here, we meet a vivid cast of characters, young and old, all surfing a revelry steeped in camaraderie, community, desire and a spirit of jubilant defiance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA modern epic, The Wickedest explores the institution of shoobs or house parties and their vital role within working-class communities. The poems range from classical English sonnets to experimental forms and are immersively interwoven with photographs, text messages and ephemera. The collection playfully dissembles parties – in space, sound, law and bureaucracy – to document the precarious existence of our nightlife venues.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn Caleb Femi's inimitable, cinematic style the book builds to a crescendo that is at once euphoric and grief-soaked. The Wickedest calls us to cast our minds to the moments we stood surrounded by our loved ones on a dancefloor, arms outstretched, and freed ourselves from the weight of reality to float.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublished: UK, 2024\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: HarperCollins Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePages: 84\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN 13: 9780008688240\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN 10: 0008688249\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Caleb Femi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50083056353546,"sku":"","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9780008688240.jpg?v=1728478435","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/the-wickedest","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
