poet laureate drops haunted moth poetry about his dead dad

certified banger

The Rundown

so this new audio book by Simon Armitage is basically a whole mood. he wrote it while this cemetery was being built right next to his house during lockdown which is incredibly dark and fits the vibe. he also lost his dad while working on it and now every poem is named after a moth. the whole thing is incredibly poetic and a little bit depressing but you need to listen to it.
