The Thousands

London loves to pop. If it’s not Top Of The Pops, it’s punk as pop, or neu-rave pop. Hell, it even nearly popped at the seams recently. All this, and the Olympics are still to pop by mid-next year. But amid all the chart-topping pop, some London kids are bringing the city back to its literary roots. Popshot is the UK’s hottest poetry journal release to date. Every issue features 26 poems written to a theme, each poem no longer than 20 lines and accompanied by an illustrated response. The result is 52 succinct voices from across the globe brought together, beautifully laid out, and popshotted back out to the rest of the globe in a neat, A5 format.

In a world of pop stars, Popshot brings poetry back into focus, showing how inspiring the written word can be. With this lot, London comes to you so you can pop poetry shots until you drop.
