Release the Sausages! is an anthology of poems, with absolutely no poems in it. It is a celebration of the first twelve months of Starmer’s government – a monument to the towering contribution to socialist thought of Sir Keir Starmer KCB KC, and his decisive, principled and unifying part in the proud history of the British labour movement. And it is a moving tribute to his moral integrity and irresistible charisma, warmth and wit.
The book is edited by the editor and poet Andy Croft. It contains no poems at all, by over 50 poets who have nothing to say about a man who has nothing to say – Anthony Anaxagorou, Ruth Aylett, Bob Beagrie, David Betteridge, Malika Booker, Jane Burn, Jo Colley, Martin Crucefix, Amir Darwish, Claudia Daventry, Jonathan Davidson, Alan Dent, Imtiaz Dharker, Steve Ely, Alistair Findlay, Naomi Foyle, Neil Fulwood, Owen Gallagher, Simon Haines, Martin Hayes, W.N. Herbert, Kaycee Hill, Khadijah Ibrahim, Mike Jenkins, Tom Kelly, Fran Lock, Adam Lowe, Rebecca Lowe, John Lucas, Alexis Lykiard, Chris McCabe, Kevin Patrick McCann, Roy McFarlane, Edward Mackinnon, Caroline Maldonado, Jenny Mitchell, Alan Morrison, Nick Moss, Christopher Norris, Antony Owen, Peter Raynard, Karl Riordan, Anna Robinson, Michael Rosen, Martin Rowson, Stephen Sawyer, Gerda Stevenson, Michael Stewart, Paul Summers, Joelle Taylor, Rob Walton, Rushika Wick, Merryn Williams, Mike Wilson and Sarah Wimbush.
