Slingshot is the debut poetry collection from Andrew Ogun, exploring the tension between where you are and where you want to be.Andrew explains ‘I feel like society, both consciously and unconsciously, tries to reduce people into predetermined and defined categories. Slingshot has allowed me to break free from those boxes and return to base. Many people know me as a musician, some know me as an activist, others know me for my job, others know me on a more personal and intimate level but poetry is where I started. Slingshot has been a process of healing but also a process of unmasking and showing the world what really happens in my inner life.’

In this anthology, we tread the common ground of “not having”. But our lives are very different and each of our voices spins a different tale. Read on, and you will discover (un)common worlds. There are dragons, cloud-circling and deep-dwelling. Characters travel by bus and by train. They walk, run or even fly, through the pin-drop silence of libraries, through moon-frosted streets and winter-chilled parks, farms, houses, shops, cafés, and possibly the grottiest pub in existence. Family ties are important, and not always the ones you’re born with. Transformation can liberate but also imprison us. We encounter isolation, addiction, tragedy and grief, but we also find love, connection, and hope.

In the canyons of the Southwest, the Akote welcome Francis Meavy, a white trader, into their tribe. Meanwhile, the invading US is encroaching on their land...

If life is confusing you, GOOD! You’re exactly where you need to be. Figuring out life as a young person can be lonely. Growing up, I didn’t have the role models I wished I had. I had to deal with failure, future aspirations, family pressure, my identity, and heartbreak. I masked my hurt with jokes, all while having a smile on my face. I might have been a class clown, but I learnt valuable life lessons along the way. Here’s how I became an award-winning presenter, and turned my jokes into meaning. This book isn’t a blueprint, but a guide to help you make your own.

In a style inspired by the acerbic rants of Thomas Bernhard and the darkly introspective meanderings of W.G. Sebald, this novel is everything but a novel, and goes everywhere except its aim. The unnamed author (who hesitates to call himself one) is attempting to write a book about death, but constant derails, distractions and diatribes prevent him from ever making it past the introduction. From Fyodor Doestoyevsky to Francesca Woodman to Otzi the Iceman and everything between, plagued with anxieties about a possible cancer diagnosis, the author's wandering mind can never be still long enough to begin.
