Atmospheric and intoxicating … The Wickedest is a heady night in the dance'' CandICE CARTY-WILLIAMSCaleb Femi returns with a landmark, life-affirming new poetry collection, The Wickedest. ''Atmospheric and intoxicating … The Wickedest is a heady night in the dance'' CandICE CARTY-WILLIAMSCaleb Femi returns with a landmark, life-affirming new poetry collection, The Wickedest.This is a minute-by-minute depiction of a typical night at a legendary monthly house party known as ''The Wickedest''. Here, we meet a vivid cast of characters, young and old, all surfing a revelry steeped in camaraderie, community, desire and a spirit of jubilant defiance.A modern epic, The Wickedest explores the institution of shoobs or house parties and their vital role within working-class communities. The poems range from classical English sonnets to experimental forms and are immersively interwoven with photographs, text messages and ephemera. The collection playfully dissembles parties – in space, sound, law and bureaucracy – to document the precarious existence of our nightlife venues.In Caleb Femi''s inimitable, cinematic style the book builds to a crescendo that is at once euphoric and grief-soaked. The Wickedest calls us to cast our minds to the moments we stood surrounded by our loved ones on a dancefloor, arms outstretched, and freed ourselves from the weight of reality to float.''A joyous, lyrical read'' YOMI ADEGOKE''A near-holy experience'' JONATHAN ESCofFERY''This is poetry that moves and is felt in the body'' andREW MCMILLAN
