Hello, I’ve recently been going through the poems from my debut collection, Nice, which is now ten years old. How did that happen!
Some of them are a little outdated because of the cultural references at the time. I’ve started to update them, because, you know, poems are never definitive.
This week I performed the new version of Straight, a banger from the early 2010s which helped me win many slams back when I used to do slams. I’d not performed it in ages but this is a rewritten version which seemed to go down well!
I hope you like it.
