Description

‘Yes You May’ is John Tucker’s fifth poetry collection with Chipmunka. Although it is an eclectic mixture, it is bound together by a permissive, open and liberal aesthetic philosophy, where the poet contemplates things like coming out and Rimbaud in the Modern Age, even at the foot of the Lakeland’s oldest fell, Black Combe, where it has all come together in the summer time. It is probably the nicest collection he has written to date.
