Opis

'Naked in the Coffee House' by Robert Grant is a new collection of post-beat poetry written in the bars and cafes of his beloved Berlin. Grant's sharp and darkly witty observations of modern life show the true underbelly of this vibrant cosmopolitan city. In this book, Grant talks about philosophy, pop culture and the dirty little secrets no one talks about. Blending poetry styles, form and structure, he enables the reader to experience the honest reality of human nature. It marks the 10 year anniversary of his first full collection and is filled with a very personal selection of his favorite poems. It also includes fifteen new pieces written exclusively for this book.

O autorze

Robert Grant is an established figure on the spoken word scene, appearing at many of the best poetry shows and festivals, worldwide. His laser-sharp, darkly witty and honest takes on modern life have made him popular within his chosen city of Berlin, where he lives with his wife and daughter. His style is brash, bold and flies in the face of traditional and slam poetry, aligning him more with the Beat poets of 1950's America.
