KEY SELLING POINTS
• Collection of poems about The Rolling Stones by acclaimed poet
involved first-hand with the band
• Brings to life the Stones and the giddy decades of their peak
In Voodoo Excess, Jeremy Reed charts in poetry and prose the astonishing
career of the Rolling Stones from the band’s early days in 1962 to the 50th
anniversary tour in 2012 and its extension in 2013. With great originality
he examines why the Stones have been a musical and cultural phenomenon, and everything public and mythical, anecdotal and apocryphal
about the larger-than-life individual band members.

Called by the Independent ‘British poetry’s glam, spangly, shape-shifting
answer to David Bowie’, Jeremy Reed’s poetry, fiction and performances
are inimitable and utterly opposed to grey mainstream poetry. He has
published over 40 books of poetry, fiction and non-fiction. He has received numerous awards work has been translated abroad in numerous
editions and more than a dozen languages. He is widely acknowledged as
the most imaginatively gifted British poet of his generation. His Selected
Poems were published by Penguin in 1987. Subsequent collections include those on the left of this AI.
Quotes

‘Reed’s poetry is full of rich and careful writing, dense with pleasure in
words that pleasure the world and waken us to its lovely surprises.’
