The Lost Clerihews of Paul Ingram

I recommend Paul Ingram's Enemie Anonimous read out loud. The concept of Luddites writing emails to the state agencies, where two periods collide, 1800s and 2022. Ingram's adaptation of the original letters is hard and humorous to the core. The language used is archaic, but the demands are relentlessly threatening. Against the backdrop of unemployment and poverty in the world of Noblemen and Villains, arsons and murders. The overloaded titles in capitals juxtapose with fragmentation of made-up words, misspellings and blot outs. The fist of the state apparatus today is in the use of language and machinery of our digital age. 'Now Jantleman', the message is, no matter the time the struggle continues. - Ulli Freer
