Surrender - by Scott Whitaker

Today we are excited to bring you some new work by Scott Whitaker. Many of you might remember that the first Alpine Strangers broadcast was a poem from Scott Whitaker's poetry chapbook 'News From the Front'. Ever since reading this poem in that collection, this poem has resonated deeply and when Scott approached us to do some readings for him, this was first on the list. Alpine Strangers will be posting new readings of Scott's new book, All My Rowdy Friends. It's available here: punkswritepoems.storenvy.com/products/1…t-whitaker All My Rowdy Friends is composed of poems about addicts, alcoholics, criminals, and derelicts. Friends also explores gender dysphoria through the Tiresias stories. The poems are both personal and personal myth all at once, and Friends is as much about telling stories as it is anything else. "All My Rowdy Friends is sex appeal met with man's uncertainty; dark with an edgy bite to it. Love painted stark, pain written thick; a beautiful photograph. There's a grit to the sex that makes it squirm. Poetry that includes visits to childhood, to mind­altering states and beyond, and a cast of characters that will slice your fingers if you press the page too hard." Jax Miller, best selling author of Freedom's Child
