He Used Thought as a Wife: An Anthology of Poems & Conversations (From Inside)

Product Information

Living alone, he teeters on the precipice of a breakdown, though he remains steadfastly in denial about his abject loneliness and the effect enforced solitude has had on his creative output, every good intention upended by distractions such as Come Dine With Me on the telly or craft IPAs in the fridge. But suffice to say, if you lived through lockdown you will be able to relate to it, and if you have any sense of humour you will laugh at it. Key’s decline is charted with a dry and ever-present wit, which frequently erupts into a bluntly funny line that elicits a hard, inappropriate laugh.

Tim Key manages to capture the weird, lonely, claustrophobic feeling of navigating lockdown in this pretty damn odd collection of writings.A collection of poems and conversations from inside the author's flat during England's first lockdown. As this book seems like a continuation of the same world that TK created for Megadate, and then his Poetical Playing Cards this is appropriate.

Tim Key is a British poet and comedian, and this book is a fat collection of poems and conversations. Perhaps now that the memory is fading, this is a strange form of nostalgia for a time when we worried about keeping the nhs going rather than how to pay our gas bills?It's a time that we will be likely trying to forget, but I can see myself revisiting this book many times.
