- Book Synopsis
- Will Holloway's long-awaited first collection Better than Paradise is a book about science, history and art, about cockroaches, giant turtles and frogs in knickers. It is a meditation on the disaster movie of History - from Gilgamesh and Donald Trump via Mao Zedong's little-known stint on the Northern club circuit, to extraordinary rendition, imperial wars of intervention and lines of homeless refugees. Better than Paradise is an epic re-imagining of exotic landscapes and ominous histories shot through with wit and anger, a powerful, politically engaged and playful account of our 'whole green world, irrational and sweet'.
- About The Author

He has been writing and performing poetry for many years, appearing at venues from the Cheltenham Festival of Literature to the top of a bus shelter during a demonstration against road-building. During that time he has worked with artists, musicians, architects, museums, theatre groups and school children. His poems have appeared in numerous magazines, pamphlets and anthologies. Better than Paradise is his first book.
