The Uniform Factory

Description
Finally, in printed form, the poems from Louises BBC3 commission Love is a Battlefield make a wonderful pamphlet
The Uniform Factory is modern war poetry marching to its own syncopated rhythm. Anti-war. Pro-soldier. It documents and dreams the after-affects of economic conscription, war in Afghanistan and PTSD. Gallows-humour standing shoulder to shoulder with bitter anger.

The collection is punctuated by landays- a Pashtun poetic form, traditionally spread woman to woman, changing, rebelling and re-mixing in the telling. Written from the perspective of the families left behind in Northern England.
