Hello is the debut poetry collection from acclaimed London-based poet Crispin Best.
Best's publisher says that 'his unmistakable voice may be the closest we have to a contemporary poetic vernacular... The baby chameleon that turns up at the end of Hello could be the book's totem animal: a creature whose flamboyance is also its camouflage. For, despite their many heart-rending moments, these poems have fun with masks and voices; they are awash with ventriloquised 90s pop-culture and contemporary media tropes that blur the line between candour and karaoke.'
